Chusfani in translating English into Indonesia language of Christopher Paolini's Novel of "Inheritance" as well as the most dominant equivalence used by Poppy D. Chusfani in translating English into Indonesia language of Christopher Paolini's Novel of "Inheritance". This is descriptive qualitative research and the method of collecting data of this study are documentation and library research. The data in the novel which have been collected are classified into two kinds of equivalence; grammatical equivalence (number, gender, person, tense/aspect and voice) and textual equivalence (reference, substitution, ellipsis, conjunction and lexical cohesion). After analyzing and classifying the data, researcher discovered that there are 25 data of number, 27 data of gender, 38 data of person, 12 data of tense/aspect and 12 data of voice. Furthermore, researcher discovered that there are 33 data of reference, 9 data of substitution and ellipsis, 35 data of conjunction and 17 data of lexical cohesion.Those data presented are representative from all of the data in the novel, because the writer takes the data by its part among the translated sentences contained grammatical and textual (cohesion) equivalence. To sum up, the result shows that Poppy D. Chusfani uses all kinds of grammatical and textual (cohesion) equivalence, after all, grammatical equivalence of person is the most dominant data (38) The Analysis of Grammatical and Textual Equivalence Used in The Translation of Paolini's Novel of "Inheritance" into

Textual Equivalence of Cohesive Devices in Arabic-Indonesian Personal References

“…In the comparison of texts between languages, various theories, and concepts as well as points of view have been put forward by experts, including the taxonomic levels of equivalence by Baker (1992). One of the taxonomic levels of equivalence is textual equivalence (Azmina, 2016). Textual equivalence refers to information and cohesion (Delu & Rushan, 2021) so that the cohesiveness of a text can be assessed from the use of cohesive devices and context together.…”

“…This research mapped out textual equivalence research related to the translation of cohesive devices, theme-rheme structure or text informativity, and textual equivalence with Arabic ST. Research related to the use of cohesive devices in texts between different language pairs has been carried out by Zhuang (2021) regarding cohesive devices in Chinese and English, Vula (2020) from Albanian to English and vice versa, and Alasmri & Kruger (2018) from English to Arabic. Research related to textual equivalence regarding text informativity has been carried out by Anis (2022) in the construction of theme-rheme in the translation of film subtitles from local Indonesian (Purbalingga language) to Arabic, Lewandowski (2020) regarding the structure of theme-rheme from Polish to English, Azmina (2016) about grammatical and textual equivalence from English to Indonesian, and Triastika (2017) about thematization and cohesion of English to Indonesian texts. Other research on textual equivalence with Arabic ST has been conducted by Moindjie (2019) with a focus on translating cohesive devices in French and English case studies, and Chaalal (2016) in English case studies.…”
