ABSTRAK
Penelitian ini membahas tentang kesetiaan makna pada terjemahan kata
majemuk dari bahasa Inggris ke dalam bahasa Indonesia yang terdapat dalam
novel New Moon karya Stephenie Meyer yang diterjemahkan ke dalam bahasa
Indonesia berjudul Dua Cinta oleh Chresnayani. Kata majemuk bahasa Inggris
memiliki aturan yang kuat secara struktur baik kata benda maupun kata sifat.
Penelitian ini juga membahas tentang teknik penerjemahan untuk mendapatkan
kesetiaan makna, termasuk di dalamnya terjemahan yang mungkin berbeda
pandangan dengan penulis berdasarkan pengetahuan yang dimiliki.
Mengacu pada bahasan masalah, teori-teori dalam penelitian ini mencakup
teori kesetiaan makna, kata majemuk, terjemahan, metode terjemahan sebagai
pendukung bersama dengan ketidaktetapan terjemahan dan teori berdasarkan
pengetahuan. Data penelitian ini adalah kata-kata majemuk dalam bahasa Inggris
yang diterjemahkan ke dalam bahasa Indonesia.
Penelitian ini menerapkan metode deskriptif kualitatif yang datanya diperoleh
dari penelitian perpustakaan. Data selanjutnya dianalisis untuk mengetahi bentuk
dan kategori kata majemuk tersebut beserta kesetiaan maknanya melalui metode
terjemahan dan terjemahan yang mungkin diaplikasikan.
Jumlah keseluruhan data adalah 209 dengan menerapkan metode total
sampling. Hasil menunjukkan bentuk sambung sebanyak 110 data (52,63%) ,
bentuk dengan tanda hubung sebanyak 69 data (33,01%), dan bentuk terpisah
sebanyak 30 data (14,35%). Berdasarkan kategori 164 data termasuk dalam kata
benda majemuk dan 45 data kata sifat majemuk. Prosedur yang digunakan
meliputi peminjaman, calque, literal, transposisi, modulasi, ekuivalen, dan
adaptasi. Namun, untuk modulasi tidak terdapat dalam data. Seluruh terjemahan
bisa dikatakan benar dan tidak satupun penerjemah setuju dengan persepsi
penerjemah lainnya, karena memiliki perbedaan pengetahuan serta pengalaman.
Kata kunci: kesetiaan makna, kata majemuk, terjemahan.

ABSTRACT
This research focuses on the fidelity meaning of English compound words’
translation into Indonesian in Stephenie Meyer New Moon which is translated into
Indonesian by Chresnayani Dua Cinta. Since the rules of English compound
words are strong structurally either noun or adjective word class. This research
also focuses on the methods in translating the English compound words into
Indonesian in order to have fidelity meaning. This research also provides the
translation possibility according to different perceptions and knowledge the
researcher has.
Due to the problems discussed, the theories suggested in this research
include fidelity meaning, compound word, translation, translation procedures as
supporting theory together with translation indeterminacy and knowledge based
theory. The research data is the English compound words found rendered into
Indonesian in the novel.
The method applied in this research is descriptive qualitative in nature.
Further, the data is collected by applying library research. Then, the data analysis
is performed to search the form and category of the compound words, then the
fidelity meaning through translation methods, and the possible translations
applied.
The total number of the data is 209 and the total sampling is applied in this
research. The result of the data analysis shows that closed form reaches 110 data
(52.63%) , the hyphenated form has 69 data (33,01%), and t he open form
influences 30 data (14,35%). Moreover, according to all categories, it reaches 164
data of noun compounds and 45 data of adjective compounds. Further, the
procedures include borrowing, calque, literal, transposition, modulation,
equivalence, and adaptation. Unfortunately, modulation is not applied in the
translations. In addition, all of which (both the translator and the researcher’s
point of views) could be correct, and none of the translators will agree with the
others’ perceptions, because both propose different knowledge of their
experiences.
Keywords: fidelity meaning, compound words, translation.
