B. Theoretical Framework
The theory of verbal humor is in use to determine the verbal humor included in the movie subtitle. The types of verbal humors are put in practice to analyze the
verbal humor classification in the Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs subtitles, both English and Indonesian version. The theory of translation gives an
understanding of translating norm, which is translating the meaning aspect. The Hermeneutics theory gives the writer understanding of the semantics role in
translation. Attardo’s theory of GTVH was selected as a tool to measure the
verbal humor meaning difference of the source text and the target text. The verbal humor of both languages is compared using the parameters of Knowledge
Resources. The GTVH becomes a key to solve the second problem formulated in this study.
