The Implicature Role in Findings Translation Equivalence in Children’s Bilingual Book Stories Entitled “I Am Not a Sleepy Sloth” By Jane Riordan

This study is of significant importance as it focuses on implicature’s role in finding translation equivalence in children’s book stories, “I am NOT a Sleepy Sloth” by Jane Riordan. The aim is to analyze the role of implicature in translation equivalence between the original language (English) by Jane Riordan and the target language (Indonesian) translated by Sri Nurhayati. The focus is on how implicit meaning is preserved in translation equivalence, ensuring that the message conveyed by the writers in the original language can still be effectively communicated to the target language reader. The researcher used a qualitative comparative-descriptive method between the narrative in the original language and the target language, emphasizing identifying implicatures on translation equivalence. The result of this study is expected to provide valuable insight into the complexity of translating children’s book stories and the crucial role of implicature in achieving translation equivalence. This insight will have practical implications for translators and educators in the field of children’s literature, enhancing their understanding and practice of translation.
