Metode dan Strategi Penerjemahan Ungkapan Makian Dalam Novel Imro’ah ‘Inda Nuqṭah Aṣ Ṣifr

Abstract

This study aims to identify the form and reference of swear words in Arabic in the novel Imro'ah 'Inda Nuqṭah Aṣ Ṣifr by Nawal As-Sa'dawi. Each language has different cultural characteristics, so when carrying out translation practices a translator must understand the culture of the source text and target text. As for the practice of translating Arabic swear words into Indonesian, a translator needs to understand Arabic and Indonesian cultures to produce an equivalent translation. This study applies Newmark's V diagram to identify the translation method used by the translator, whether it is oriented towards the source text or the target text. Then continued with the application of Mona Baker's translation strategy. This study uses a qualitative approach with a prescriptive method, collecting data through intensive reading of Imro’ah ‘Inda Nuqṭah Aṣ Ṣifr by Nawal El-Saadawi in both Arabic and Indonesian versions. The analysis stages include identifying the types of swear words, examining translation equivalents, evaluating translation methods and strategies, and assessing the effectiveness of the translation.

The results of the study show that the novel Imro'ah 'Inda Nuqṭah Aṣ Ṣifr uses swear words in various forms, including words, phrases, clauses, and sentences. Each form reflects the intensity and function of the insults towards women within the context of Arab patriarchy. The translation employs several methods, such as word-for-word, literal, faithful, semantic, adaptation, and idiomatic translation. The most common strategy used is reordering, which adjusts the source text to suit the target language.
