Abstract

The present study deals with the identification of ideological shift categories of text in literary translation through the Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) point of view. The critical discourse analysis was conducted to determine the occurance of shift categories of text in the translation process of the novel. This research uses descriptive qualitative design focusing on single case. The source of data was the English and Indonesian version of the novel. The sample was selected uses systematic random sampling technique. The data was collected through content analysis and documentation process. Further, in the analysis itself, the metafunctional theory of language was used. Then, the result of the analysis revealed that the inter-metafunctional shift is the most significant category found in the text (96%), while the intra-metafunctional shift was only found once (4%). However, considering the total sample of the data, the total of shift was very insignificant, with only 6.15% of shift found from overall data. which means that the target text was likely to use the same process as in the target text.
