Linguistic Meaning Approach

Beautiful girl = pretty girl = lovely girl

Interlingual (the real translation)

In the linguistic meaning approach, there are


differences among the languages based on the

Approach of Translating Science
(Eugene Nida)
It is based on the meaning views and translating
processes:
• Linguistic and referential meaning (lexical field).
• Semantic structure analysis / component analysis.
• Equivalence level (formal equivalence and
dynamical equivalence).
Semantic & Communicative Approach
(Peter Newmark)

Communicative Translation (informative &


vocative texts)
Beware of vicious dog! = Beware of the dog!
Watch out! = Hati-hati ada lubang galian
Staff only = Selain pegawai dilarang masuk

Semantic Translation (expressive texts)


She is a book – worm = Dia sangat suka membaca
= Dia seorang kutu-buku
Good looking = Bagus dipandang mata
= Cantik/tampan SY01265_

Expressive Operative
Act Theory of Translation
(HolzManttari)

“Translation as directed objective, human interaction as a means of


cultural transfer on the case-for-case translation for professional
translation.”

Interlingual translation is described as translation act consisting of the


following components:
1. Initiator: who needs a translation
2. Be-speaker: who calls a translator
3. Producer of ST: the writer
4. Producer of TT: the translator
5. User of TT: who uses TT
Teori Skopos

Skopos (Greek: ‘purpose’, ‘goal’), is an appropriate name for a theory


which focuses on such aspects of the translation process as interactional
dynamics and pragmatic purpose.

The skopos idea relies on key concepts in


pragmatics, such as intention and action. Two
basic assumptions are entertained:
Skopos Rule 1: Interaction is determined by its
purpose.
Skopos Rule 2: Purpose varies according to the
text receiver.
Halliday’s Model of Language & Discourse

Social-Cultural Environment

Genre

Register (field, tenor, mode)

Discourse Semantic (ideational, interpersonal, textual)

Lexico-grammatical (transitivity, modality, theme, cohesion)
