Abstract

Penelitian ini tentang analisa komponen makna dan kesepadanan penerjemahan yang berfokus pada lirik lagu di Album Maher Zain. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui dampak dari perubahan komponen makna di kesepadanan penerjemahan. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif dan menggunakan teknik total sampling. Data penelitian ini adalah lirik lagu Album Maher Zain versi bahasa Inggris dan bahasa Indonesia. Data penelitian ini diperoleh dengan menggunakan analisis komponen teori makna yang dikemukakan oleh E. Nida dan tingkat kesepadanan yang dikemukakan oleh T. Bell. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa terdapat dua komponen dalam terjemahan lagu, pertama komponen umum ditemukan 1097 komponen; kedua, komponen diagnostik ditemukan 513 komponen. Selain itu, hasil penelitian ini juga menunjukkan tingkat kesepadanan penerjemahan dalam Album Maher Zain, yaitu: 1) kesepadanan total (89 data), 2) kesepadanan parsial (77), dan tidak ada kesepadanan (46 data). Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, variasi komponen semantik mempengaruhi kesepadanan penerjemahan pada tataran leksikal. Karena lagu tersebut bertujuan untuk dinyanyikan kembali artinya lagu tersebut diterjemahkan sepadan, tetapi pada tataran leksikal lagu tersebut memiliki kesepadanan yang berbeda berdasarkan komponen semantik yang menunjukkan arti makna.
