Penggambaran means ?

Salience: The word "penggambaran" appears only once in the Target Text, in line five of Paragraph One, introducing the purpose of the essay. In this instance, word "penggambaran" appears directly before the name of a television and radio corporation, Selamat Pagi Malaysia (RTM).

Even at Kifli's own blog, the word Pengambarran appears only once in a search of his essays.

At the Sultanmuzafflar blog, the word "penggambaran" appears right before the word "filem" (which is a cognate with the English word "film").

Penggambaran filem dimulakan dengan Mazni dipasangkan dengan Zulkifly Iskandar, pelakon dari kota. Ketika penggambaran berlangsung, Pak Halim balik dan mengamuk apabila melihat anaknya berlakon. Alang memujuk Pak Halim sehinggalah Pak Halim faham dan bersetuju Mazni berlakon. Sultanmuzaffar
In the same paragraph, the word "penggambaran" also appears immediately before the word "berlangsung."

In an article entitled, "Pemburu buaya tewas ditusuk sengat ikan pari" at the website Jabatan Perkhidmatam Haiwan Negeri Perak, Malaysia, the word "penggambaran" appears five times, immediately before the phrases "siri televisyen," "menarik tubuhnya ke kapal penyelidikannya, Croc One," "penggambaran dokumentari terbaru, Ocean’s Deadlist," "Bindi Sue," and "dokumentari di Antartika."

We theorize for the moment that the word "penggambaran" may mean "publish," as in "publish on/at Selamat Pagi Malaysia."

Penggabaran could also mean "directed," since the word so often appears before the word "filem." However, there is a Malay cognate for the word "direction" which is "Direktorium," which would seem to mean indicate that "penggambaran" may not mean " to direct."

In the same document from which the above paragraph was exegised, the word "penggambaran" appears sixteen times, and in every case appears directly before the word "peta."

In another document, Pelesenan dan Penguatkuasaan , in which the word "penggambaran" appears seven times, the word "penggambaran" is followed by the word "peta" in every instance.

However, at the Lealaurielle blog, the word "penggambaran" is followed by the English-language word "movie" in two instances, as well as by the words "poster" and "bermula" in other instances.

In the context of a syllabus at UPI university, the word "penggambaran" is followed immediately by the word "perspektif" in several instances.

Consider the following quote, first in Maylay and then translated into English:

Prosedur kajiannya, sebagaimana penelitian kualitatif yang lain, pada umumnya meliputi daur hubungan (1) penggambaran fokus, (2) pengumpulan data, (3) analisis data. Sedangkan landasan teori yang digunakan penelitian kualitatiftersebut dengan menggunakan
pendekatan phenomenologi.

Etnomethodology emphasizes mutual
communication, while ethnography texts emphasizes discussion discussion context. The study procedure, like other qualitative research generally covers the relationship cycle of focus depiction, data collecting, and data analysis. While the theoretical based used in the qualitative research is the phenomenology approach.

The first noun/adjective combination in the Malay version combines the word "fokus," (a cognate with the English word "focus") and the word "penggambaram." In the English version, the word "depiction" is modified by the word "focus." And so, lacking a dictionary that includes this word, I have to hypothesize that the word "penggambaran" is the functional equivalent of the word "depiction." But I imagine that it could also be related to the concepts of "representation" and "publication," all of which involve grasping an abstraction, interpreting it, and then communicating it to an audience.
