Abstract

The study aimed to analyze the translation of the Pala’wan tribe epic Odayang from the English version which was first translated by Mariano S. Dela Cruz, who is familiar with the tribe’s language and culture from its original form which is in the Palaw’an dialect, being one who grew up near its origin because of his birth. The goal of this study is to 1. decode the different meanings inside the language used in the epic without destroying its quality and integrity, 2. Compare and analyze the two versions through lexical attention, grammatical structure, communicative situation, and cultural context lenses as the piece was first translated to English taking into consideration its closeness to the original version and authenticity. 3. It will try to know if there is an effect when a minority language is translated to two dominant languages by the process it went through in the aspect of material authenticity.
