CHAPTER IV FINDINGS AND DISCUSSION
A. Findings
1. The Techniques of Adjustment Used by the Interpreter
This research found there are three original techniques of adjustment which are employed by the interpreter in the seminar; they are additions,
subtractions, and alterations; these techniques are found in 180 data. In employing such techniques of adjustment, the techniques are employed in two
ways. Firstly, the interpreter uses only one technique within a sentence or expression. Secondly, the interpreter combines some techniques, in which their
combinations can be classified into four techniques, including: 1 additions + subtractions, 2 additions + alterations, 3 subtractions + alterations, and 4
additions + subtractions + alterations. Based on both ways separated and combined, the techniques of adjustment employed by the interpreter can be
classified into seven techniques, as shown in Table 5.
