Analysis of translation of noun phrase ellipsis in Puzzle movie subtitle

Alan Fargan Samudro, Ajeng Setyorini

Abstract


This paper analyzes noun phrase (NP) ellipsis in Puzzle movie from English to Indonesian. The method used is the descriptive qualitative research method. The data source used is the Puzzle movie, while the data is in words, expressions, sentences, or paragraphs. This aims to find out NP Ellipsis in the subtitle Puzzle movie and translate it into Indonesian. NP Ellipsis is a mechanism that removes portions of noun phrases that can be recovered from context. It seems to be a tendency towards using lexical repetition in the translation of ellipsis, which raises the degree of explicitness in the translated text. Finally, NP Ellipsis is resulting in ambiguity because this research shows that NP Ellipsis is not always translated accurately.
