Isi artikel

In Indonesian Agrarian Law, there are several legal terminologies and concepts that are hardly present in other countries. The term like Hak Tanggungan, for example, carries both historical and cultural backgrounds which don’t exist elsewhere in the world. Some translators might not be aware of the uniqueness of the term and translate this term into ‘mortgage’in English, which they consider as the closest equivalent of the Indonesian counterpart.In this paper, I’m going to use the Natural Metalanguage approach to depict the uniqueness of Indonesian Agrarian term, Hak Tanggungan, that makes it hardly translatable into similar terms in English. By outlining the meaning via Natural Semantic Metalanguage approach, I wish to be able to give clear definition of Hak Tanggungan from the cultural and historical perspectives of Indonesian Agrarian Law without mixing it with English perspectives or the perspectives of any target language, into which the termis translated.
