Areas of Research Object of the Study

First step done by the writer was to make the onomatopoeic expressions into the table, by adding the information such as the words of onomatopoeia in English and Indonesian, phonetic transcription, pages, and context of the picture’s description. The second is to analyze every expression with its meaning in the picture, by looking and checking it at the dictionary.

Then, the writer tried to see the reason using the onomatopoeic expressions by applying the theory of the origin of the language. The last step was to figure out which translation strategy used. 31
