Abstract

The topic of this research is Proposition in the English-Indonesian Translation of Inferno by Dan Brown. It is highly inspired by the fact that English and Bahasa have significant differences especially in the structure construction. While translating we often find those differences and some changes to get the best construction in TL so that it can be understood more easily. Proposition as Larson suggests is the theory that I used in this research to explain how the construction changes from English to Bahasa. The purpose of this research was to describe the proposition used in the novel entitled Inferno by Dan Brown in both Englih version and translated version. The methods I employed were first eliciting the data from the novel, inventorying the data, classifying the data, analyzing the data and finally reducing the data until I got the valid representative data. The result showed that there were 1181 data occurring in this research. 899 event propositions and 151 state propositions do not change. 60 event propositions change into State and 46 State propositions change into Event. The rests, which are 25, multiplied from one proposition to two or more propositions. Based on the result, the changes of proposition occur because there are shifts occurring in translating the novel. Shifts occurring in the data include Structure-shift in forms of the changing of sentence form, split of sentence and the changing of word order. The common shift highly occure is Class-Shift in forms of the shifts of adjective to verb, verb to adjective, adverb to adjective, noun to verb, and verb to noun.
