Areas of Research METHODOLOGY
data containing the locative preposition at, in, and on and its translation are collected and grouped based on what locative preposition is contained in the data.
The grouped data which are still in the full sentences are then specified into a table that only contains the locative prepositions, object preceding the locative
preposition, object following the locative preposition, the meaning of the locative preposition, and the Indonesian translation of the locative preposition.

The table has the function to show the meaning of the locative preposition related to its “environment” or the words that come before and after the locative
preposition and to show the translation of the locative preposition in Indonesian. The Indonesian translation of the locative preposition is then presented in
the form of a table which becomes the result of the translation variations of the locative prepositions in Indonesian.

To answer the second problem, the back translation method is conducted. Twenty one samples of the data, in this case, the Indonesian translation of the
locative preposition at, in, and on, are given to the respondents to be translated back into English. The results of the back translation are then re-checked with the
source text whether or not the respondents translate it back to the same preposition. The results of back translation method are presented in different
tables based on the locative prepositions contained in the data. Table 3. The Example of the Data Analysis of the Back Translation Results

The datum numbering 13STAt530 has the explanation that ‘13’ means the first datum of the whole population, ‘ST’ means the data was taken from the
Source Text, ‘At’ means the datum containing the locative preposition at, ‘5’ means the fifth datum of the data which contains the locative preposition at, ‘30’
means the page number at which the datum was taken from. TLT1 is the PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
