2.8 Figurative Framework
This research is made by logical thinking that translators have to translate both language and culture from the source language into the target
language. In translating the text, the translators face with a number of
problems. One of those problems is about culture. The cultural problem analysis of this research focuses at word to phrase,
so the researcher chooses the cultural word theory by Newmark. The researcher tries to relate the cultural word with some strategies. The strategies are
foreignization and domestication by Venuti. To analyze about the strategies, the researcher makes an interview with
a professional translator named Slamat Parsaoran Sinambela to discuss about the strategies accuracy. The researcher also makes an interview with some
target readers about the strategies and the readability. From the questionnaire, the researcher gets the target readers’ opinions about the readability level of
each cultural word. Finally, the researcher finishes this analysis by some conclusion and suggestions. This framework is illustrated by the picture below.
