Analisis Penambahan dan Pengurangan Unsur-Unsur Bahasa dalam Text Terjemahan Perang Kolonial Belanda di Aceh The Dutch Colonial War in Aceh

Abstract

This study aims to classify the addition and reduction of language elements, such as words, phrases, clauses and to describe the translation techniques in the translation

texts of a bilingual history book “Perang Kolonial Belanda di Aceh: The Dutch

Colonial War in Aceh” as well. This study focuses on product analysis. The data of this study are identified texts having addition and reduction of language elements that

are taken from the first three chapters consisting of 519 sentences as the samples. The

descriptive-qualitative research is used to describe the addition and reduction of language elements of SL and TL completely using contrastive analysis theory that

compares Indonesian language as SL and English as 11. Besides, the writer also

used direct and indirect translation techniques theory by Molina-Albir, gain and lost

theory by Nida-Taber, and explicit and implicit meaning theory by Larson to know

the translation techniques chosen in translating the history book. After the 519

samples analysed, the results showed that 271 data have no the addition or reduction

of language elements while 248 data identified having changed either in SL or TL.

The 248 data having the addition or reduction of language elements consisting of 79

(31.85%) addition data, 117 (47.17%) reduction data, and 52 (20.95%) couplet data:

addition’ reduction. There are several conclusions from the results, first, the

‘amplification technique is used dominantly for the addition of the language elements * and the reduction technique is used dominantly for the reduction of language

elements. Second, the addition of the language element of SL and TL is not

identically using addition technique, but the amplification and description techniques

can also caused the addition of language elements, third, from the analysed data

samples, which have the addition or reduction of language elements syntactically,

there are no data caused the addition or reduction of information semantically, either

in SL or TL. However, the addition and reduction information done to bridge the gap

of language and culture system of the two languages.
