Abstract

Alice in Wonderland is a phenomenon in children literature. The story of a seven-year-old girl in a wonderland has attracted remarkable attention from all over the world. One of definite features of the story making it legendary is the use of parody. This research aims at analyzing the translation of parodies in Alice in Wonderland into Indonesian by five translators. The data used were nine parodies and their translations in Indonesian by the translators, and collected with note-taking data collection technique. Purposive sampling was employed in this study. The data were then analyzed by conforming them to the concept of similarity by Chesterman, the concept of contextual effect and processing effort of the Relevance theory, and the strategy of translating parody by Weaver. The result of the data analysis showed that 98 % of the parody translations in Alice in Wonderland were done in literal models, and the rest (2%) were in adaptation. The literal model of translation produced target language texts that were not contextual, not relevant to Indonesian children’s background knowledge, and did not support the purpose of parodying, i.e. entertaining the readers. Some great translators in the world suggested the adaptation strategy in handling parodies in Alice in Wonderland.
