C. Conceptual Framework
In order to ease the study, the researcher needs to make the theoretical framework. The framework gives the writer boundaries of how far he conducts the
study. Based on the theories above, the researcher in this study discusses the spelling changes of the loan word used in the bahasa Indonesia version of Dan
Brown‟s novel, Angels and Demons. First of all, after reading the novel, the writer writes down the data into a table and classified them into Type of Word Type,
Adjustment of word Adjustment and Translation Method. Each data is equipped with data code that looked like this 79SL223TL295 that shows the number of
data, the number of page in original novel and the number of page in translated novel.
Furthermore, there are more detailed classification such as Simple Word, Complex Word, Translated Word, Single Vowel, Double Vowel, Single
Consonant, Double Consonant, Affixes, Literal Translation, Faithfull Translation, Semantic Translation, Free Translation, Adaptation, Idiomatic Translation, and
Communicative Translation. In the study, the researcher uses loan word theories by Sayogie 2009 and
Samsuri 1994. To analyze the spelling adjustments of the loan word, the researcher uses spelling adjustment rules by Alwi 1988 and EYD 2001. To
analyze the translation method, the researcher utilizes translation method theory by Newmark 1988 and Larson 1984. The researcher also discusses the reason
