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.

.
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.
