Abstract

The current research aims to examine lexical errors in Indonesian-English translated texts in Museum Dewantara Kirti Griya. The classification of Lexical Errors proposed by Legenhausen (1975, as cited in James, 2013) is applied in analysing the texts. From 43 texts, the result indicates that there are 88 errors, classified into formal errors (62,5%) and semantic errors (37,5%). The first one deals with the arrangement of words and phrases, while the second deals with meaning and collocation. The most common errors are about the confusion between concepts and terms. This happens when the translator meets local-cultural terms in the SL that needs extra effort to translate.

dewanara Kirti Griya博物馆文本印尼语英译的词汇错误分析

本研究旨在考察德万塔拉柯提格里亚博物馆印尼语-英语翻译文本中的词汇错误。本文采用了Legenhausen(1975，引自James, 2013)提出的Lexical Errors分类法对文本进行分析。从43个文本中，结果表明有88个错误，分为形式错误(62.5%)和语义错误(37.5%)。第一部分是关于单词和短语的排列，第二部分是关于意思和搭配。最常见的错误是概念和术语之间的混淆。当译者在SL中遇到需要额外翻译的地方文化术语时，就会发生这种情况。
