DIKSI DAN BAHASA FIGURATIF SASTRA PERJALANAN DALAM ANTOLOGI PUISI A ROMANTIC JOURNEY THE BEGINNING KARYA DESI ANWAR: KAJIAN STILISTIKA

Abstract

This study aims to describe the form, meaning, and function of diction and figurative literary

language of the journey contained in a collection of poems by A Romantic Journey the Beginning

by Desi Anwar. Desi Anwar's method of stylistic assessment of ARJTB used in this study is

descriptive-analysis through literature studies. The technique used in this study is by collecting

data in the form of documentation, namely from ARJTB poetry by Desi Anwar as the research

material object. While the formal object is the diction and figurative literature of travel. The

results showed: (1) Studying denotative and connotative diction, the choice of words in my lyrics

shows that the contents of ARJTB poetry are not merely channeling factual information but there

are convincing goals, persuading, reminding, and insinuating with contextual understanding of a

particular culture; (2) The figurative language in ARJTB's poetry hides the true meaning with an

image and the poet has tricks to create a richer, more effective, and more suggestive effect in the

language of poetry; (3) By Meaning, the ARJTB poem contains a fairly detailed description of

the author's experience and perception of a place. I lyrics can give pragmatic information about

a place visited and a description of people's culture through the author's perception; (4) The

function of travel literature can analogize a story of narration and change one's intellectual

attitudes to be wiser and pay attention to the meaning of beauty in every corner of the place

(spot) that has been explored
