Abstract

To produce good quality translated texts, a translator must have an equal understanding of SL and TL, both from a linguistic point of view and an understanding of the cultural context. It is undeniable that there are obstacles in the process of translating, especially for SL and TL who do not come from the same family. This also happened in the process of translating texts with SL German and TL Indonesian. In this study, we will compare changes in the pattern of order of syntactic functions and changes in syntactic functions that occur in declarative sentences from novels translated from German to Indonesian. Sources of research data are novels by Cornelia Funke entitled Drachenreiter. This research is included in qualitative research. The data was collected by recording and identifying the characteristics of declarative sentence forms. The study’s findings regarding the contrastive word order between German and Indonesian revealed that each component of the word order—the subject, verb, and complement—varies.
