Grammatical Mistakes of Indonesian-English Translation on Students’ Thesis Abstracts
Abstract
Abstract: The study aimed to knowing the grammatical mistakes found in students’ translation texts especially in the thesis abstract made by students of the Business and Economy Faculty of Bengkulu University. It investigated how the grammatical rules were implemented in their thesis abstracts. The study used the analysis of English grammar rules based on grammatical theories. The documents were used as the main data in this study, there were ten thesis abstracts made by the students. The results showed that there were 38 grammatical mistakes found. The most frequent grammatical mistakes made by students were word choice, word order, verb + agreement, and tenses. Then, at the end of the analysis, researchers gave the model of improvement based on the grammatical rules toward the grammatical mistakes that researchers found. This step was very important because the translation was about how we transferred the source language to the target language in equal meaning.
