INTRODUCTION

Language is an important for people in the world. It is condidered tobe the best means of communication to express ideas, feeling and information in society. According to Chomsky (1972), “Language is one characteristic that is unique to humans among all other living beings”. In monolingual society, they only understand their own language. In order to comunivate with other society

with different language, they need a translation of meaning.

Now days, translation becomes one of the most important process to transfer idea, feeling and information across languages. The translator must keep the meaning of the Source Language (SL) text intact into the Target Language (TL). Since ther are no absolute sinonimuos, the translator must find the closest natural meaning equivalent between the source language and the target language.

This novel tells the story of the hound of Baskerville that always makes the Baskerville family suffer. Doctor Mortimer goes to meet detective Holmes to discover why Sir Charles died and tell him about Sir Henry, the heir of Baskerville wealth will come to inhabit the Baskerville residence. Many notable incidents happened since the arrival of Sir Henry in the Baskerville residence, starting from warnings, stalkers, and love affairs.

“Museum” in source language translated into “Museum” in target language. Since there is no any change that found in target language, it could be classify as pure borrowing. “Museum” according to Oxford Dictionary is “A building in which objects of historical, scientific, artistic, or cultural interest are stored and exhibited” in source language, while in target language, “Museum” is “gedung yang digunakan sebagai tempat untuk pameran tetap benda-benda yang patut mendapat perhatian umum, seperti peninggalan sejarah, seni, dan ilmu”. Both of source language and target language have the same concept. But the spelling and pronunciation is different. Therefore, the term is being borrowed into the target language. The word “Museum” has a grammatical category as Noun.
