Gottlieb (1992) classify subtitling strategies consist of expansion, paraphrase, transfer, imitation, transcription, deletion, dislocation, condensation, decimation and resignation. The subtitles of Moana’s utterances analysis were done by comparing the original subtitles and the translated subtitles to find out the subtitling strategies used and the readability. The readability level was done by fifteen informants who are UNNES students with the age range from 19-22. The results of the study showed that there were 294 data and 6 subtitling strategies in this research. The subtitling strategy mostly used was transfer (83%), followed by paraphrase was used 91 times (30.95%), condensation was used 52 times (17.70%), expansion was used 15 times (5.10%), imitation was used 11 times (3.74%), and decimation was used 2 times (0.68%). Nababan (2012) categorized readability into three level; very readable, readable enough and unreadable. The result of this study showed that the utterances of the movie spoken by Moana considered as very readable (93.47%), readable enough (6.44%), and unreadable (0.09%). The subtitling strategies with the highest readability were transfer strategy with percentage 95.12%, expansion strategy was contributing most to readable enough subtitle with percentage 12% and condensation strategy was contributing most to unreadable subtitle with percentage 0.25%. From the result, it can be concluded that the Indonesian subtitles of Moana movie were mostly readable. vi TABLE OF CONTENTS COVER ................................................................................................................... i APPROVAL .............................................................
