ANALISIS PIRAMID TERBALIK DAN NILAI BERITA DALAM TERJEMAHAN BERITA DUNIA AN ANALYSIS OF INVERTED PYRAMID AND NEWS VALUES IN THE TRANSLATION OF GLOBAL NEWS

Abstract

Makalah ini meneliti penterjemahan berita dunia yang diterbitkan dalam laman sesawang akhbar Berita Harian. Korpus kajian merupakan 14 laporan berita dunia yang terdiri daripada versi bahasa Melayu dan bahasa Inggeris. Analisis data secara perbandingan dilakukan bagi mengenal pasti perbezaan yang berlaku antara laporan berita sumber dan laporan berita versi terjemahan. Bagi konteks kajian ini, prosedur terjemahan Newmark (1988) diaplikasikan bagi menganalisis penterjemahan berita dunia. Di samping itu, konsep piramid terbalik serta nilai berita yang diutarakan Stovall (2005, 2012) dinilai bagi menganalisis signifikannya terhadap penterjemahan berita dunia. Dapatan kajian membuktikan bahawa dua konsep penulisan berita berkenaan sebenarnya mempengaruhi penterjemahan berita dunia. Selain itu, makalah ini juga memberikan implikasi bahawa aspek bahasa sasaran, iaitu bahasa Melayu turut mempengaruhi penterjemahan berita dunia. Berdasarkan dapatan analisis data, cadangan penyelesaian juga diutarakan bagi usaha pemurnian terjemahan berita dunia di Malaysia.
