THE ANALYSIS OF CATEGORY SHIFT IN SURAH IBRAHIM VERSES 1-52

The translation from the source language into the target language cannot be exact equivalents as both languages are widely different in structure and cultural background. One of the rules in doing translation is about shift. This study was carried out in order to examine  the category shift of the translation of  Surah Ibrahim verses 1-52. The data were collected by using the source text (the English text) and the Target Text (the Indonesian one) from the Surah and the steps of this research were  by scanning all the English words (ST) with their Indonesian translation (TT)  then identifying the category shifts based on Catford’s theory ( 1965:76) which were classified into Structure Shift, Class Shift, Unit Shift and Intra System Shift. The results the dominant category shift is Unit Shift (46, 71%) ; Structure Shift with 16,78%; Intra System Shift with the percentage 16,45%. It was found that there were several combinations of the category shifts that were Unit Shift + Intra System Shift, Unit Shift + Class Shift, Unit Shift + Structure Shift and Intra System Shift + Structure Shift with low percentage. The findings of this study were  not in line  with of the writer’s previous research for the number of the kinds of the category shift and its  domination. It is expected that this study can be one of references of another related research.
