SE: Di mana dia, Mak? TE: Where is she?
Datum 128KT--OMI1
The expression above is taken from the dialogue between Waras and Nyai Sentika, his mother. It happened in the kitchen when the rays of the sun began to
brush over the hills and sweep the morning mist away. Waras looked for Srintil when Srintil still slept.
Based on the example above, the translator employs omission strategy in translating the source language into the target language. It is used by Waras to
address his mother, Nyai Sentika. The word Mak in the source language, which means mother, is not realized in the target language. It is because the translator omits
Mak in the target language.

Datum 084T-TDES3
The example above presents a part of the dialogue between Srintil and the Shopkeeper in Dawuan Market. She ran away from Nyai Kartareja. Srintil entered the
small foodstail. They sat there with a bad condition. By the translator, description strategy is employed in translating the
expression above. The word Jenganten is used to refer to a daughter of an upper class person in Javanese. However, in the novel Srintil was not described as a daughter of
an upper class person, but she was a ronggeng that had higher social status than other persons. It is a title used by people who have lower social status to address a young
girl. Meanwhile, in the target language the translator translates Jenganten into young lady which refers to Jenganten.

translator’s note, or explicative paraphrasing. There are 10 data categorized employing amplification strategy in translating address terms from Ronggeng Dukuh
Paruk into The Dancer. The following explanations are the examples.
