49 Table 4.4 illustrates the findings of the dead metaphors in Ronggeng
Dukuh Paruk, which belongs to one-word idioms. The first example is the word hijau and the literal meaning of hijau is green color. However, the word hijau in
this novel means young. As seen in the sentence,
“
Srintil masih demikian hijau”
p. 121, the word hijau is used to express that Srintil is so young. By using the word hijau, it means that Srintil is compared to fruits, because fruits are usually
green when they are unripe. The second example of rarely appeared dead metaphor is terpaku, which
means being nailed. The word terpaku is used to express how much Ibu Camat was astonished to see
Srintil’s attitude, which made her stuck. The word terpaku illustrates Ibu Camat
’s feeling,which is compared to something nailed. She is also unable to do anything; even though she cannot move her own body. Although he
was astonished to see Srintil’s attitude, actually she could not admit that Srintil had something that many people admire of. Ibu Camat was so jealous with Srintil,
not only because of her youth and beauty but also her charismatic personality and attitude. Thus, the word tepaku in this novel means Ibu
camat’s astonishment towards Srintril.
The third example is diciduk. The literal meaning of the word diciduk is something being taken out from water using dipper. The use of the word diciduk
is to indicate that there is a comparison between Srintil and water. However, the word diciduk is usually used to express the negative sense of the word. Therefore,
the word diciduk in the novel is used to express that Srintil should not forget about her past being a prisoner. She should also be aware of her having possibility to be
50 arrested again. Thus, the meaning of diciduk in the sentence
“Apakah Srinti ltidak khawatir akan diciduk
kembali?” p. 294, is being arrested by the police. The fourth example is mabuk. Literally, the word mabuk means drunk.
However, the word mabukin this novel does not mean being drank because of an alcohol, but being affected by the propaganda. As seen in the sentence, “ ..yang
menyebabkan khalayak mabuk, lalu mereka menyerbu sawah..” p. 294, the
propaganda in this discussion means an action that makes people attack others who are considered having different view with them. Furthermore, the sense of
the word mabuk shares the same idea with drunken man because the drunken man would likely loss their consciousness that makes his unable to control his mind,
actions, and speeches. The drunken man is usually controlled by his emotion at the current state. Thus, the word mabuk in this novel means people passionate to
join a violation such as burning and damaging the buildings because they are affected by the propaganda regarding to a certain political party issue.
The last example of rarely used dead metaphor in the form of one-word idiom is anjingmu. In the sentence,
“Jadinya aku rela menjad ianjingmu” p. 313, the word anjingmu is used to express the person who follows others just like
a lapdog follows its owner, so that the owner will give the lapdog a reward Cambridge Adv
anced Learner’s Dictionary Third Edition, 2003. As illustrated in the novel, a young man named Diding agreed to accompany Tamir, his friend,
to go to Srintil’s house because Tamir promised that he would give some money to him. The example of the dialogue
said by Diding is “Aku yang bajingan, Mir. Aku selalu takut gaji tidak utuh lagi bila pulang ke rumah. Jadinya aku rela
51 menjadi anjingmu asal bias memperoleh uang
prei” p. 313. Examining the previous dialogue, it is obvious that Diding
follows his friend’s desire in order to get some money. Although he has another choice, he prefers to come along with
Tamir in order to get some money. What Diding does is like what a lapdog does to please its owner, so that the owner gives a reward to it. Thus, the word
anjingmu in this novel means someone who is willing to do something for others only to get money.
