×<p>Fictional texts as a means of communication have reflected the reality of
societies and entertained mankind across centuries. Due to the need for crosscultural understanding, the fictional texts have been translated into other languages
with different cultures and norms which have sometimes distorted the message and
reflected the culture of the source text differently than the authors' intentions. One
such problematic area that has attracted scholars from linguistics and translation is
characterization in the novels; that is how characterization is built in the source text
and how it is translated into the target text.
Therefore, this study aims to 1) analyze the politeness strategy of the female
protagonist, 2) the politeness strategy of the male antagonist 3) the translation
techniques used in translating the politeness strategy of the female protagonist, 4)
the translation techniques used in translating the politeness strategy of the male
antagonist, 5 the translation quality of the politeness strategy used by both
characters and 6) the impact of translation of politeness strategy on the
characterization of the female protagonist and the male antagonist in the novel A
Thousand Splendid Suns.
This study employed a descriptive qualitative approach, and the study
design is a single embedded case study. The focus of the research is on the novel A
Thousand Splendid Suns, and the source data are documents and informants. The
document refers to the novel A Thousand Splendid Suns, where the data is taken
from the developmental stages of the story: orientation, complication, evaluation,
and resolution. The informants were native speakers of the Indonesian language and
experts in English-Indonesian translation who informed about the linguistic and
translation data such as politeness strategies in the source text, translation
techniques, translation shift, and translation quality through FGD. Hence, the
informants played two roles: informants and raters. Two types of triangulations are
used for data validation: data source and method triangulation. Then the data were
analyzed based on Spradley’s data analysis including domain analysis, taxonomic
analysis, componential analysis, and cultural theme analysis.
The data analysis results indicate that 1) the female protagonist used four
types of politeness strategies: bald on record, positive politeness, negative
politeness, and off record. Likewise, 2) the male antagonist used four types of
politeness strategies: bald on record, positive politeness, negative politeness, and
off record. Both characters used either bald on record or positive politeness
dominantly depending on the social context of power, distance, and rank of
v
imposition. 3) in terms of translation techniques, fifteen translation techniques are
used for the female protagonist, and 4) sixteen translation techniques are used for
the male antagonist. Speaking of translation quality, 5) the translation quality of the
politeness strategies was good for both characters, the female protagonist and the
male antagonist, but not perfect due to some inappropriate translation techniques.
6) in terms of characterization, the translator translated the characters’ politeness
strategies well enough, yet some translation shifts brought about changes in the
characterization of the two characters, the female protagonist and the male
antagonist.
This study concludes that the translation of politeness strategies of both
characters was good, yet some translation techniques such as explicitation,
modulation, discursive creation, pure borrowing, reduction, and transposition
decreased the accuracy, acceptability, and readability of the translation quality. </p>
