distributes the questionnaire to three raters. They must give the score based on the definition of scale ranging from 1 – 3. The scales are as follows:
Scale Definition
1 The meaning and the interpretation of the metaphor in the source
text is accurately conveyed into the target text based on the context. The translation does not need rewriting.
2 The meaning and the interpretation of the metaphor in the source
text is less accurately conveyed to the target text. The translation needs some rewriting in words or expressions.
3 The meaning and the interpretation of the metaphor in the source
text is not translated at all into the target text, i.e. it is omitted or deleted which violate the message of metaphor so that message is
not conveyed into target text.
Table 3.1: The Scale of Accuracy
Then, the researcher finds the mean score of each datum by counting the scores given by the raters. Below is the formula of the accuracy assessment of metaphor
