reflects the themes of Sherlock Holmes TV-Series. The reflection of the themes enriches the knowledge of the readers in comprehending this term. Thus, it makes
this research different from other two previous studies above.
C. Conceptual Framework and Analytical Construct
This research attempts to scrutinize one of successful adaption from Sir Arthur Conan
Doyle‘s detective series produced by BBC One Channel Sherlock Holmes TV-Series using stylistic approach. It focuses on the language style of the
object that becomes the main issue in this research. In addition, the researcher also explains the stylistic approach at the first part of the literature review in this
research. The next part also reveals and describes figures of speech in stylistic
approach in order to answer the first and the second objective of the research, i.e. the types and function of figures of speech. There are twelve types of figures of
speech defined by Perrine in his book Sound and Sense Fifth Edition 1977 which are divided into three categories; by comparison, by association, and by
contrast. There are four functions of figures of speech: giving imaginative pleasure, creating additional imagery, increasing emotional intensity, and stating
the meaning in brief compass. Furthermore, to answer the third objective of the research, the researcher
also provides the explanation about the use of figures of speech reflecting the themes of the television series as the focus of research. Moreover, the use of
figures of speech reflecting the themes can be revealed by elaborating the types and the functions of figures of speech. Thus, the researcher also analyzes the
themes through structure of the television series including the plot, setting, characters and characterization.
In addition, to conduct the analysis of the research, the researcher interprets and comprehends the theories from conceptual framework and uses a systematic
system drawn in the analytical construct as follows.
