Translation Analysis

Translation Analysis

              Translation is the process of transfer the meaning from the source language into target language text. In translation analysis, we must know about the shift.  Shift is the small changes that occur between units in source text into target text. 



Shift can be divided into two kinds:

1. Level Shift                                                                                                                                Level shift , if source language item at one linguistic level has a target language translation equivalent at a different level.
2. Category shift

• There are 4 types of category shifts :                                                                                              

1. Unit Shift                                                                                                                                         That shift of source language item translated into target language that belongs to differentiate unit. Unit is a word, phrase, clause, or sentences.
2. Structure Shift                                                                                                                                  Structure shift is the changes of grammatical position of source language into target language
3. Class Shift                                                                                                                                       Class shift happen when class shift in source text is different with target text.
4. Intra system shift                                                                                                                              Intra system shift happen when  intra system shift occur from source text to target text . And also when the source language is singular becomes plural in target language and vice versa.
