TERJEMAHAN EKSPRESI PERMINTAAN (REQUEST EXPRESSION) DALAM PERCAKAPAN FILM THE LAST SONG

Abstract

Abstract: This research aims at how request expressions are translated in film The Last

Song. It was found that there were two kinds of request expression, namely direct and

indirect request expression. For direct expression, three kinds of it were found; they are

mood derivable, obligation statement and performative. While for the indirect one, they

are suggestory formulae, query preparatory and mild hint. Generally the accuracy of

translation for request expression is high which is related to the technique mostly applied,

literal technique. Only some are not quite high. This case reflects the fact that the locution

and illocution forces are generally the same in both languages.
