3.4 Roles of the Researcher

This sub chapter explains the roles of the researcher in the study. As the study is carried by only one researcher, the researcher played some different roles. My roles in this study were as the data observer, the data collector, the data analyzer, and the data reporter. 37 As a data observer, first I read all the source of the data both of the English version and the Indonesian translation. After reading the entire source of the data, I listed all the sentences in the source of the data. I put the data into tables so it will be easy for readers to learn it. After listing the data, I analyzed the data and classified it to get the answers of the problems. I referred to the theory of Mona Baker 1992 of translation at word level. The classification of the strategies used by the translator are translation by a more general word, translation by a more neutralless expressive word, translation by cultural substitution, translation using a loan word or loan word plus explanation, translation by paraphrase using a related word, translation by paraphrase using unrelated words, translation by omission and translation by illustration. The translator also used another three strategies; they are translation by a more specific word, translation by a more expressive word and translation by addition. As the data reporter, I reported the data analysis by describing my findings and providing detail explanation towards the analysis I make from each data I compiled. I referred to Baker’s theory to explain the strategies used in the translation.
