Abstract

Translation is a bridge to communication gap in literary works, such as poetry. Singir, as one of Javanese poetry, contains the message of wisdom. It also has the function of religion-spiritual, education, and aesthetics-poetics. By using Lichtenstein’s Singir translation, this research aims to seek the skopos framework of literary translation. Since there are two choices of text transfer mode, namely documentary or instrumental, it is interesting to determine whether the translation of Singir uses one of those modes as its transfer mode. The result of the data reveals that linguistic-cultural acculturations and heterofunctional translation occurred. Both documentary and instrumental modes are applied in Singir translation.
