Abstract

This research investigates subtitiling strategies of slang expressions in the English and Bahasa Indonesia of Good Will Hunting movie texts. This study is expected to analyze the English slang expressions and observe subtitle in connection with the discipline of translation studies, especially strategies used in translating the movies and English slang expressions as well. The objectives of this research are 1. to describe the types of slang expressions expressed in Text 1, 2. to describe the subtitling strategies employed in translating Text 1 into Text 2, and 3. to describe the degree of equivalence in Text 2. This research was descriptive qualitative. The data of this research were collected manually from the English slang expressions movie text and Indonesian subtitle movie text entitled Good Will Hunting. The sources of the data were English text (phonic channel) and Indonesian text (graphic channel).The main instrument of this research is the researcher herself. The data are categorized based on some theories. The first is slang theory proposed by Sumarsono and Paina (2007), the second one is subtitling strategy of Gottlieb (1992) and the last one is degree of meaning equivalence of slang expressions proposed by Bell (1991). To achieve trustworthiness, triangulation method was applied. The results of this study shows that there are five types of slang found in Good Will Hunting, i.e. apocope, acronym, metaphor, creativity, using the existing word; creativity is the most prominent type. The subtitler applied six subtitling strategies in translating the slang expressions, i.e. expansion, paraphrase, transfer, imitation, decimation, and deletion. The researcher found four equivalent degrees, i.e. fully equivalent, partly equivalent, different meaning, and no meaning. The fully equivalent and partly equivalent are categorized in equivalent, and the different meaning and no meaning are categorized in non-equivalent. From 119 data, there are 70 data or 57.98% of the data in this research belonging to equivalent (fully equivalent is 11 data and partly equivalent is 59 data) and 49 or 42.02% data belong to non-equivalent (different meaning is 9 and no meaning is 40). This finding indicates that the translation of slang expressions in Movie: Good Will Hunting is sufficiently equivalent.
