Abstract

This study explores the application of transposition theory in the translation process from English to Indonesian. Transposition theory, as developed by Catford, focuses on the shifts and adjustments required when translating between languages, particularly regarding grammatical structures, lexical choices, and cultural nuances. Through a detailed analysis of translated texts, this paper examines how transposition theory informs and influences translation strategies, highlighting the challenges and solutions encountered in rendering English texts into Indonesian. Case studies are employed to illustrate theoretical principles in practical translation scenarios, offering insights into the complexities and considerations involved in cross-linguistic communication.
