Abstract

This research used media of four soundtracks from the film Moana, titled How Far I'll Go, Where You Are, You're Welcome, and Shiny. The lyrics in the source language that were translated into the target language, Bahasa Indonesia, were analyzed by the writer, who used Linguistic Compression techniques.

Instead of subtitles, the writer chose Indonesian dubbing translations from the Disney Hotstar app. The method of this research was qualitative descriptive. First, the writer collected data by sorting out which lines from the four Moana soundtracks apply Linguistic Compression techniques in their dubbing translations. The writer then analyzed the meaning of the target language lyrics that had been compressed with the original lyrics in the source language to find out whether the meaning of the lyrics had changed or not. The results found by the writer in this research are 45 out of 209 lines include Linguistic Compression techniques with the division of How Far I'll Go (8 out of 28 lines), Where You Are (22 out of 68 lines), You're Welcome (10 out of 60 lines), and Shiny (5 out of 53 lines).
