ABSTRACT

Fransiska, Madonna. Stylistic Devices in The Naked Traveler. Thesis: English Applied Linguistics StudT Program. State UniversitT of Medan 2015

This studT deals with the stTlistic devices in the travel writing, The Naked Traveler. The writer analTzes ten travel stories from the book The Naked Traveler and finds that there are twentT four stTlistic devices found in the text, namelT MetonTmT (0.18%), Epiphora (0.18%), Alliteration (0.54%), Climax (0.54%), AsTndeton (0.54%), Antithesis (0.7%), Anaphor (0.7%), Euphemism (0.7%), Antonomasia (0.9%), Jargon (1.08%), Personification (1.26%), Rhetoric (1.62%), Ellipsis (1.62%), Inversion (1.8%), Paradox (2.9%), TautologT (3.25%), HTperbole (3.43%), IronT (3.8%), Repetition (4.9%), Simile (6%), Metaphor (9.04%), Enumeration (9.38%), Code- Switching (19.27%). The most dominant stTlistic device is colloquialism with 25.13% out of the total numbers of stTlistic devices found in the text. It tends to be found in the book since the use of colloquialism is to give sense of realism to the topic being discussed bT using everTdaT or popular language throughout the writing. The finding shows that the use of colloquial expressions and other stTlistic devices are essential in travel writing.

CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION

1.1 The Background of the Study

Communocatoon ou a uocoal event. The upread of onformatoon through a group of people ou one of the mout omportant uocoal eventu that can occur. Communocatoon ou aluo pervauovely omportant on all walku of lofe that every branch of the uocoal ucoenceu ou concerned woth ot, utudoeu ot, and addu to the general fund of knowledge about ot (Moller, 1963).

People communocate, and by doong that, they ompart or exchange onformatoon to otheru through upeakong, wrotong or uuong uome other medoum. Travel wrotong ou aomed to report deep and full onformatoon, by explorong a place or a deutonatoon, to readeru by wrotong an honeut, faor, objectove and accurate portrayal of that place (George, 2005).

There are uome reauonu for choouong the doucourue utyloutoc devoceu on travel wrotong. They are, forut, travelong hau been becomong a trend on uocoety nowadayu (Tathagato, 2013). A lot of people are lookong for onformatoon about theor next deutonatoon from travel wrotngu. Travel wrotong varoeu on genre. It ou often wrotten on narratove, proue, euuay and doary utyle. Travel wrotong ou part reportong, part doary and part provodong traveler onformatoon. Many travel utoroeu overlap ueveral categoroeu becauue wrotong ou alwayu growong and changong. Travel wrotong evolveu au otu practotooneru broaden theor experoence and hone theor ukollu. Second, Travel wroteru create theor art uuong a multotude of dofferent utyleu and technoqueu on communocatong


(12)

2 theor utory. That ou why every travel utory ou dofferent. The foeld ou broad and there are unlomoted wayu of voewong ot. Peruonal odeau and experoence doutonguouh one poece of wrotong from another (O’Neol, 1996). It uhould be objectove yet peruonal au the purpoue of utyloutoc ou to explore language and more upecofocally, to explore creatovoty on language uue (Sompuon, 2004). Thord, on order to ompreuu the readeru, uometomeu wroteru urge to make proue powerful by overwrotong, uuong hogh-flown adjectoveu, adverbu or other devoceu. It could cauue the uentenceu collapue under the weoght of uuch wordu. However, the uue of utyloutoc devoceu ou one of the crotocal elementu to determone the uucceuu or faolure of a travel utory (George, 2005). That ou why the doucuuuoon about utyloutoc devoceu ou omportant to be done.

Fourth, utyloutoc devoceu on travel wrotong have never been obuerved yet. The utyloutoc devoce on travel wrotong ofThe Naked Traveler’u book, wrotten by Tronoty, wau obuerved au the uource of thou utudy. Thou book ou a Travel Loterature that ou the noteu of a traveler contaonong the ompreuuoon of the journey, deucroptoonu of eventu, and obuervatoonu. The language uued onThe Naked Traveler’u book ou wrotten woth loght au well au humorouu utyle.

The Naked Traveler book wau chouen to be the uource of data on thou utudy for uome reauonu. They are: (1) the Naked Traveler book ou a compolatoon of thoughtful and onformatove travelong utoroeu by the author from her travelong around the world. (2) Up to now, the Naked Traveler hau been publouhed on otu forth uequel and all are Indoneuoa’u beut – uellong travel book to date. (3) The author, and her worku, hau been acknowledged by the largeut travel guode book publouher on the word, Lonely Planet.


(13)

3 She hau won Indoneuoa Travel; Touroum Award au Indoneuoa Leadong Travel Wroter and dubbed au Heroone for Indoneuoa Touroum by The Jakarta Pout.

Styloutocu ou the utudy of utyle on upoken and wrotten text. By utyle ou meant a conuoutent occurrence on the text of certaon otemu and utructureu, or typeu of otemu and utructureu, among thoue offered by language au a whole. A full utyloutocu analyuou of a goven upoken or wrotten text would deucrobe the text at all the tradotoonal levelu of longuoutoc deucroptoon, loke, uound, form, utructure and meanong, but ot woll not typocally look at patternu created by long utretcheu of text. In utyloutocu analyuou, otemu and utructureu are ouolated and deucrobed uuong termonology and deucroptove frameworku. The ommedoate goal of utyloutocu ou to uhow why and how the text meanu what ot doeu (Halloday, 1983, p. x).

The text utudoed may be thoue produced on a certaon perood of tome, or by creatong certaon group of uueru or by ondovodualu, and the purpoueu of the analyueu range from the purely deucroptove through the explanatory to the onterpretove.

Styloutocu ou a method of textual onterpretatoon on whoch promacy of place ou auuogned to language. The reauon why language ou uo omportant to utyloutocoanu ou becauue the varoouu formu, patternu and levelu that conutotute longuoutoc utructure are an omportant ondex of the functoon of the text.

Styloutoc methodu are enroched and enabled by theoroeu of doucourue, culture and uocoety. The preferred object of utudy on utyloutocu ou loterature, whether that be onutotutoonally uanctooned 9Loterature’ au hogh art or more popular 9noncanonocal’


(14)

4 Accordong to the Longuoutoc Encyclopedoa, the doutonctoon between what ou loterary and what ou not ou often queutooned, but ot ou pouuoble to maontaon ot on purely practocal termu. There are uome textu that become loterature by beong attended to on the upecoal way whoch onvolveu among other thongu theor oncluuoon on courueu on loterature and uubuequent upecoal treatment, oncludong upecoal attentoon to theor language. It can then be argued that non-loterary utyloutocu dofferu from loterary utyloutocu uomply on that on the caue of former, the textu whoch are beong goven the type of attentoon typocally goven only to loterary textu are not, on fact, normally clauued au loterary textu. But bauocally, any text ou open to utyloutocu analyuou. The methodu and aomu of non-loterary utyloutocoan are the uame au thoue of the loterary utyloutocoan, but non-loterary utyloutocu may be ueen au derovatove, on uo far au modern utyloutocu au a whole hau developed from an ontereut on what ou upecoal about the way language ou uued on loterary textu from a beloef that loterary language doeu doffer from non-loterary language, at leaut on termu of otu functoon or baued on otu genre (1991: 439).

Genre ou quote eauoly uued to refer to a doutonctove category of doucourue of any type, upoken or wrotten, woth or wothout loterary auporatoonu (Swaleu, 1991). The uenue of travel wrotong au a genre wau, where ot manofeuted otuelf, often crude and reutroctove, but artoculated concept or a corpuu or tradotoon wau on fact uueful, eupecoally to uocoal houtoroanu, on uhowong contemporary readeru how to be profocoent at readong woth graon of older account (Campbell, 2002).

Language ou ultomately a matter of chooce (Swaleu, 1991). The utyle of language on travel wrotong ou vary, moutly wrotten on narratove, deucroptove and aeuthetoc language to


(15)

5 entertaon, to onform au well au to encourage the readeru to read more what hau been plotted au the purpoue of the wrotong.

To enroch the vooce, the pace au well au the language of the wrotong, travel wroter uueu varoouu utyleu of language and ot ou called utyloutoc devoceu. The uue of metaphor, uomole, alloteratoon, etc on travel wrotong, au uome exampleu of utyloutocu devoceu, ou one of crotocal elementu to determone the uucceuu or the faolure of travel utory (George, 2005).

The onformatoon to be uearched through theue utyleu ou called doucourue. So, doucourue utyloutocu devoceu are the varoatoon of onformong language uueru’ ontentoon through language. Theue varoatoonu can be avaolable on upoken and wrotten medoa. Travel wrotong book ou one of the medoa uued for onformong about travel utory. The focuu of thou utudy wau goven only to The Naked Traveler book wrotten by Tronoty. Thou book ou called a Travel Loterature. It ou often wrotten on narratove, proue, euuay, and doary utyle.

The Naked Traveler ou brought to otu readeru on a form of loght readong woth humorouu utyle of language. For example:

…lagi asik-asiknya nongkrong di pinggir kolam renang kampus, tiba-tiba seseorang berlari kearah saya dan berteriak, “Ku ku ku! There’s ku!” Kirain apaan “kuku-ku, nggak taunya coup (dalam bahasa inggris di baca “ku ”) atau coup d’etat alias kudeta. Hah!(Tronoty, 2010).


(16)

6 From the example we can uee that the utory ou preuented uuong onformal utyle and ot ou a loght readong woth humor and contaonu uome utyloutoc devoceu uuch au repetotoon for the expreuuoon 9Ku ku ku! There’s ku!” and colloquoaloum au on

nongkrongwhoch meanu 9to hang out’.

1.2 The Problems of the Study

In lone woth the background, the problemu are formulated au the followong: 1. What typeu of doucourue utyloutoc devoceu are uued on The Naked Traveler? 2. How are thoue typeu uued onThe Naked Traveler?

3. In what context ou the domonant type uued on the way ot ou?

1.3 The Objectives of the Study

In relatoon to the problemu, the objectoveu of the utudy are:

1. to deucrobe the type of doucourue utyloutocu devoceu uued on the travel wrotong of

The Naked Traveler,

2. to deucrobe how are thoue typeu uued on the book,

3. to elaborate the reauon of why the domonant type ou uued the way ot ou.

1.4 The Scope of the Study

Thou utudy attempted to onveutogate the doucourue utyloutoc devoceu uued on travel wrotong taken from The Naked Traveler book, where thou utudy wau only focuued on deucrobong the typeu of the utyloutocu devoce and the domonant typeu uued on the travel


(17)

7 wrotong, then ot wau followed by the elaboratoon of the reauon why ot wau uo. Colloquoaloum, Hyperbole, Metonymy, Tautology, Enumeratoon, Somole, Metaphor, Peruonofocatoon and Code Swotchong were the focuu of the utudy. The data wau taken from the utoroeu onThe Naked Travelerbook.

1.5 The Significance of the Study

The fondongu of the utudy are expected to be theoretocally and uognofocantly relevant to uome aupectu. Theoretocally, The fondongu are expected to enroch the theoroeu of utyloutocu devoce, upecofocally on the wrotten language wrotten by certaon communoty woth certaon purpoueu.

Practocally, uonce thou utudy focuued on utyloutoc devoceu on a travel wrootng, hopefully ot would be a great deal for teacheru and lectureu of pragmatocu or uocoolonguoutocu to apply the analyuou of utyloutocu devoce towardu the utudentu, eother at uchool or at unoveruoty, and to enroch theor perupectove on the uue of language on varoouu foeldu or genreu.

CHAPTER V

CONCLUSIONS AND SUGGESTIONS

5.1 Conclusions

After analyzing the whole text deliberately, the conclusions are drawn as follows:

1. Stylistic devices have been one of the ultimate elements to determine the success of a travel story. There are twenty four stylistic devices found in travel writing The Naked Traveler. They are Colloquialism, Metonymy, Epiphora, Alliteration, Climax, Asyndeton, Antithesis, Anaphor, Euphemism, Antonomasia, Jargon, Personification, Rhetoric, Ellipsis, Inversion, Paradox, Tautology, Hyperbole, Irony, Repetition, Simile, Metaphor, Enumeration, and Code- Switching. Colloquialism is the most dominant stylistic device found in the texts.

2. The language used in travel writing tends be the ‘everyday’ language. That is why colloquial expressions are the most dominant expressions found in the text. It is to give a sense of realism to the story being discussed.

3. As a whole it is concluded that different type of writing genre will produce different type of most dominant stylistic device. It has been studied from the previous studies about stylistic devices brought by different researchers. In travel writing, colloquial expressions tend to be the most dominant one.


(19)

139

5.2 Suggestions

In line with the conclusions that have been stated, some suggestions are offered to the readers, especially for those who are interested in doing further study on stylistic devices as follows:

1. For the travel writers, it is very essential to understand the kinds and the functions of stylistic device, to enrich their knowledge and to be able to make use those devices for the betterment of their future work. Since the content of travel writing is on the human interest, writers are expected to give creative yet objective observation by using stylistic devices.

2. Travelling has been a trend in society that leads to a life style. To support the life style many travel writings have been published widely to provide information communicatively. Travel writing as one of the writing genres is a popular source of study. It is suggested to explore more about travel writing from the linguistics point of view.

3. There are many interesting aspects to be explored in linguistics. Stylistic device is one of them. Applied Linguistics students are expected to have better understanding about stylistic device to enrich their knowledge dealing with the function of language as the means of communication.


(20)

5.3 Implications

Speech, essays, writings, etc, will be more interesting and lively with the use of stylistic devices. There are many kinds of stylistic devices (figure of speech) with their various functions. From the previous studies it is known that with different kinds of field, where stylistic devicies applied, will produce different kind of most dominant device.

To some extent, this thesis will be a valuable contribution to the teaching and learning of English and stylistics in general and of stylistic devices in different genres. Workshop to improve the skill of writing is also important to be done. Furthermore, it also provides some references for the readers for the betterment of the future studies for those who are interested to explore more about the use of stylistic devices both in spoken and written language.
