The data collection was conducted by reading the novel thoroughly and taking notes on the utterances in forms of words and phrases containing dysphemism both in the original novel and its translated version in Bahasa Indonesia. The data that had been collected are subsequently categorized according to the utterances and their translation functions. There were found 31 expressions (utterances) containing dysphemism.
