ABSTRACT
Dewi Ratih . C0309023. The Analysis of Translation Techniques and Quality
of Colloquial Expressions in the Film We’re the Millers. Thesis: English
Department, Faculty of Cultural Sciences. Sebelas Maret University. 2015.
This research is focused to find out the translation techniques which are
applied in translating colloquial expressions, and to assess the accuracy and
acceptability of the colloquial expressions in the subtitle film We’re the Millers.
This research is a descriptive qualitative research. There are 74 data
colloquial expressions in the form of single word in the film entitled We’re the
Millers. The translation quality of accuracy and acceptability aspects are also
assessed by the three informants as the rater.
From all of the data which are found, there are eleven translation
techniques that are applied. They are established equivalent with 50 data out of 74
data, pure borrowing with 7 data, naturalized borrowing with only 1 datum,
particularization with 4 data, adaptation with 2 data, generalization with 4 data,
modulation with 3 data, literal translation with 1 datum, variation with 1 datum,
amplification with 1 datum, and reduction with 1 datum. In this research, the
dominant technique that is applied is established equivalent.
The result of the analysis of translation accuracy shows that there are 63
data accurate, 11 data less accurate, and no data for inaccurate translation. From
the analysis of the acceptability, there are 67 data that belong to acceptable
translation, 7 data less acceptable, and no data for unacceptable.
This research is expected to be able to use as a reference for English
Department students and other researchers who interest in translation study,
especially for them who analyze about colloquial expression in the form of single
word.
