Semantic Adjustments in The Translation of English Memorandum
Keywords:
Semantics, Translation, Adjustments, Linguistic gapAbstract
This current study is intended to reveal the semantic adjustments taking place in the translation of an English Memorandum of Understanding into Indonesian used as the data source. The data were collected through observation using close reading and note-taking techniques. The descriptive approach and the theory proposed by Nida (1991) are applied in the study. The result shows that the semantic adjustments can overcome the linguistic gap between the SL and TL and allow the translator to transfer the message in the SL to the TL appropriately enough shown by the acceptability, naturalness and readability of the TL.
