CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION
1.1
Background of the Study
There are thousands
of languages amended
and used in this
world; each of them
has differences and
uniqueness. Language is
a tool of
communication for people
daily life such
as English as
International language. In
fact, English recommended as one of compulsory subject in
every school and university.
We use
language in order
to communicate with
others, to express
our personal reactions to
situation, to stimulate a response on someone else, and for the sake
of thinking something
out. Language may
be as a
means of conveying something that the user of the language wants
to convey. In the wider sense, the word language is
used as to
cover any means
used to convey
emotion and thoughts (Robert, 15: 1952). Many people speak English
and use it, along with its components and
structures in their daily lives. However, the English phrasal verb is often
found, but rarely used. Phrasal verb
usually found when people doing translation process.
Translation is
studying the lexicon,
grammatical structure, communication situation,
and cultural context
of the source
language text, analyzing
it in order
to determine its meaning, and
then reconstructing this same meaning using lexicon and grammatical structure, which are appropriate
in the receptor language and its cultural context
(Larson, 1984: 3).
Translation as a
means to transfer
equivalent message from
source language to
target language, so
that communication of
human keeps going on.
Language may refer
either to the
specifically human capacity
for acquiring and
using complex systems
of communication, or to
a specific instance
of such a system of
complex communication. Owen
(2006:1) describes the
language as socially
shared symbols. Those
combinations of symbols
and rules governed
by some provisions and socially
accepted conventions.
Phrasal verb is
a combination of a
verb and a preposition, a
verb and an adverb, or a verb with both an adverb and a
preposition, any of which are part of the
syntax of the sentence, and so are complete semantic unit. Sentences may
contain direct and
indirect objects in
addition to the
phrasal verb. Phrasal verbs
are particularly frequent
in the English language.
A phrasal verb
often has a
meaning which different from the
original verb.
Based on
its characteristics, people
find difficulties to
translate the phrasal verbs.
In some cases,
when translated into
another language, either
its meaning is changed or
it is meaningless.
This case may
occur in the
literary translated texts, such as
in the translated novel. In this
thesis, the writer analyzes the phrasal verbs found in Lauren Kate’s Fallen
translated into Bahasa Indonesia
Terkutuk by Fanny Yuanita.
This novel
tells about Lucinda
Price who is
a seventeen- year-old girl from
Georgia. She previously attended a private school in New Hampshire before the court ordered her be moved to a boarding
school for troubled youth, after an incident which left her alive, but her boyfriend Trevor
dead. When she first enters Sword & Cross,
she realizes how much her life will change. There are cameras watching her every
move and there
is a strict
rule regarding cell
phones. On her
first day, she meets
Arriane Alter, an excitable and enigmatic girl who immediately takes a liking to
Luce. She shows
her fondness by
asking Luce to
cut her hair
just like Luce's, much to Luce's dismay for she does not want to
mess her hair up. Also on her first day at
Sword & Cross,
Luce finds herself
meeting the handsome
Cam Briel and interested to the
fascinating Daniel Grigori, who
seems to have mixed
feelings for her when he smiles
and then flips her off. During the first day, she also meets Penn, the
daughter of the
deceased caretaker. Luce
also makes enemies
to an angry
girl who has multiple facial piercings, Molly. She feels as if
Daniel is familiar. Luce falls in love with Daniel, and with the
help of Penn and the
librarian, she uncovers her secret - she
reincarnates every lifetime
after meeting Daniel,
whom she also discovers is
an angel, as
well as many of
the other school
kids. There is an
angel fight at the end, where the
librarian is found to be evil and murders Penn and tries to kill Luce but Daniel saves her. Cam is actually a demon and fights against
Daniel in the battle to determine Luce’s
life or death.
The
reasons why the writer chose the topic of this thesis is because the writer likes to read novels especially novels that
are now favored, both in terms of story and characterizations, after
reading the novel
the writer found
in this novel
there are many
sentences that use
phrasal verb. Phrasal
verb is also
frequently used in everyday
language, also contained in the articles or other works of English literature.
The second reason is, the writer
observes an opportunity in the topic of phrasal verbs, the
opportunity to reveal
the translation process
of phrasal verbs
into Bahasa Indonesia.
In the
translation of Lauren
Kate’s Fallen, the
writer finds some
phrasal verbs, such as: Source
language (English): Wherever he ended up, it would be easier then being here.
(Page 2) Target language (Bahasa Indonesia): Kemanapun ia pergi, akan lebih
mudah daripada berada disini. (Page 11) The translator translates ended up into
pergi, it changes the sense of meaning totally, but
in this case,
the translator translates
the phrasal verb
by transitive expression of phrasal verb based on oblique
meaning translation.
