Abstract

Giving advice is a common speech act but potentially problematic as it may threaten the face of the hearer. The speaker will use politeness strategies to mitigate face threatening act in giving advice. Politeness strategies as mitigation are not only appeared in real conversation but also in fiction. Thus it raises a question how translators deal with politeness marker in giving advice in intercultural context. This paper aims at exploring the translation of politeness markers in giving advice used by the main characters in the novel Deception Point written by Dan Brown (2001). Data were the utterance of advices made by main characters in the novel Deception Point and its two Indonesian translation version. Data were taken by document analysis and focus group discussion in classifying the translation techniques. The result show that 1) there are only two main characters who give advice due to the felicity conditions of advice, 2) positive and negative politeness strategies are employed by the main characters in giving advice, 3) there is a change in the translation caused by the implementation of translation techniques to the politeness markers.
