Translation Shift of a Transitivity System in Obama and Trump’s Inauguration Speech

Abstract

<jats:p>The purpose of the study is to describe the process shift caused by applying certain translation techniques. The research used descriptive qualitative method by applying purposive sampling technique. The source of the data was text of Obama’s and Trump’s inauguration speech and its translation. There were 152 data in each inauguration speech. The data were the clause contained the process type in verbal group in English and its translation. The results of the research showed 10 data or 6.57 % in Obama’s inauguration speech and 7 data or 4.60 % in Trump’s inauguration speech which was changing or shifting in process type from original text into target text (Indonesia). It also showed that the translation techniques caused the shift, especially in verbal group.</jats:p>

Sarcasm and the Translation Quality in the Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck Book

“…They discovered that linguistic barriers to sarcasm translation include syntactic, lexical, and semantic aspects, while the cultural barriers were based on intercultural barriers, namely culture-specific expressions and allusions. Some other studies on the application of translation techniques such as in the news articles (Junining & Kusuma, 2020), the shift transitivity system in the presidential inaugural speeches (Hidayat, 2018), and the form and meaning of conjunctive relation and it is translated from the source language into the target language (Sriyono, 2011).…”

Evaluative Language Maintenance and Shift on Vice-Presidential Candidates Reportage: Translation Analysis of ‘The Conversation’ Political News

“…Previous studies (Arbain, 2020;He & Wen, 2015;Hidayat, 2018;Mardiana, 2015) discovered modulation and transposition translation technique caused shift occurrence;…”

“…Otherwise, any message shift in the translation product can change the ideological position of the source text. Studies (Hidayat, 2018;Wu, 2019;Yuliasri & Allen, 2019) highlighted the implementation of certain translation techniques causes evaluative language maintenance and shift. If translators are in line with the author's perspective, they will take a stand to be faithful to the source text.…”

“…They identified and analyzed the process shift that occurred in the translation version, whether in the form of literary works or factual texts (Li & Xu, 2018;Sujono et al, 2016;Tirtayasa & Setiajid, 2018). On the one hand, another study investigated loss in translation since the use of particular translation techniques-including modulation, transposition, reduction, and simplification-highly conduced shifts which might transform the genuine meaning of source text (Hidayat, 2018;Qian, 2017;Yuliasri & Allen, 2019). Nevertheless, none of those previous studies was discussing language maintenance in translation investigation.…”

Piloting Strategies in Translating Adjective

“…Research on equivalence in translation is also done in many aspects, including by using different approach, such as culture insight [10] [11]; discourse analysis and Systemic Functional Linguistics [12] [13] [14] [15]. The equivalence can be found in every language unit such as equivalence at word level, above word level, T grammatical equivalence, textual equivalence, and pragmatic equivalence.…”
