549 TT. A simple example given to illustrate the phenomenon is the change of the
pattern of the clause “a dog chased a cat yesterday” as a ST into the new pattern “A cat chased a dog yesterday” as the TT. The message communicated in the ST
is the proposition about a dog which chased a cat yesterday, but it is not the proposition about a cat which chased a dog yesterday as in the TT mentioned
above.
7.4.4. The Cultural Terms
Ten cultural terms encountered in this research are not translated because those terms symbolize complicated TBP‟s cultural experience which must be
represented by complicated logico-semantic relation. The translations of such terms, in this research, can not procude functional equivalence both on the level
transitivity system and logico-semantic relation as in Halliday, 1994. As a solution for that untranslatability, the paraphrases for those terms are given to
claify for the complicated experiences, and those glossaries are as follows: Balintang
