Language Style of Habiburrahman El-Shirazy in the Dwilogy of Ayat-Ayat Cinta: a Stylistic Study LANGUAGE STYLE OF HABIBURRAHMAN EL-SHIRAZY IN THE DWILOGY OF AYAT-AYAT CINTA: A STYLISTIC STUDY Aflahah (STAIN Pamekasan/ [email protected]) Abstract: Novel is an artwork which closely relates to human life and is considered as the representation of human life journey. The language style in novel is embodiment of language use by an author to express ideas, emotion, opinion, and to give a certain effect. The main problem will be discussed in this study is the language style found in the novels of AAC 1 and 2. This study is about individual language style, an author’s language style who have written best seller novels, namely Habiburrahman El-Shirazy (HES). The approach that is considered very appropriate in understanding the language use of HES in Dwilogy of Ayat-Ayat Cinta (DAAC) is stylistic study. A stylistic study reveals how is the language style used by HES and what effects that are resulted. The approach of this research is a descriptive qualitative research. Descriptive method is used to describe the linguistic facts such as the language style based on lexical choice, sentence structure, and direct or indirect meaning. The use of language style based on lexical choice (diction) in DAAC shows a typical language style of HES as well as shows his ability as a Da’i and man of letters. The analysis of language style based on sentence structure and direct/indirect meaning illustrates the descriptive style of HES. Whatever he describes, it must be very accurate. He gives very detail information of the object being spoken of either background of the story or characterization. Through language style, HES describes the emotions experienced by the characters properly so it makes the readers able to empathize. From the data had been obtained, it reveals that language style used by HES to describe characters or characterization (describe the pysical condition, characters, and characteristics), describes its background, tells the plot, and convey the message. The results showed the lexical choice of scientific words and religious words are typical of HES’s language style in his DAAC, the peculiarities of language style based on sentence structure in DAAC seen from the use of repetition (anaphora), and HES’s peculiarity in using language style according to direct or indirect meaning can be seen from the use of personification.

  • Dear AP Literature Students
    Dear AP Literature Students: Welcome! I’m excited to meet you in the fall and to revel in the amazing reading! Before you return to school in August, please complete the following work to get our conversation started: 1. Carefully read and annotate All the Pretty Horses by Cormac McCarthy and Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro. When you read McCarthy, I would recommend bookmarking this page as it provides translations of the Spanish: http://cormacmccarthy.cookingwithmarty.com/wp- content/uploads/ATPHTrans.pdf. 2. Next, watch the animated film Persepolis (based on the graphic novel by Marjane Satrapi) and think about how it connects to our summer reading and why. You can rent it on Netflix or Amazon or possibly check it out at your local library. Yes, it is in French with subtitles J 3. Lastly, actively study the vocabulary lists "Literary Allusions" and "Literary Terms" (both in this packet). I would recommend not passively memorizing flashcards or a Quizlet, but instead using the words in your everyday conversations and in your writing to secure them in your memory and into your own personal lexicon! On the first day of AP week, you will be tested on the summer work. The test on the works of fiction will be primarily objective rather than interpretive, and it will include quotation identification, plot and setting points, and character descriptions. The test on the vocabulary will be matching. The point of the test is to ensure that you have read actively and studied the vocabulary so that you can use the works and words immediately.

  • A Pragmatic Study of Litotes in Trump's Political Speeches
    International Journal of Innovation, Creativity and Change. www.ijicc.net Volume 11, Issue 3, 2020 A Pragmatic Study of Litotes in Trump's Political Speeches Wafaa Mokhlosa, Ali Abdulkareem Mukheefb*, a,bUniversity of Babylon, Iraq, Email: b*[email protected] Litotes is defined as a figure of speech by which the affirmative is expressed by denying its contrary. The current study is concerned with identifying and analysing litotes in Donald Trump's political speeches on pragmatic level. The study aims at identifying the illocutionary force of litotes, the functions of litotes, which maxim of Grice is mainly breached in the production of litotes to produce implicature, and which type of litotes is heavily used by Trump. The analysis is curried out on data consists of four texts from Trump's speeches during being president from 2016 to 2019. The study concludes that the illocutionary force of litotes in most of the times is asserting. Litotes is used mainly to fulfil the function of emphasis, but it can be used to perform the functions of encouraging and inciting. Trump uses contrary litotes in most of his speeches. Key words: Pragmatics, Litotes, Illocutionary force, Implicature, Functions. Introduction Politicians use different strategies and devices to convince their audience or gain their support. Figurative language is one of these strategies that are mainly based on the use of certain figures of speech such as irony, euphemism, metaphor, litotes etc. according to Griffiths (2006:81). Understanding figurative language requires a great interaction between semantics and pragmatics. Therefore, to understand the meaning of certain figure of speech a total knowledge of the context is required.

  • 1. Alliteration, Consonance and Assonance 2. Allusion 3. Analogy 4. Apostrophe
    A Few Literary and Poetic Devices: (words underlined in bold represent “figurative” language) 1. Alliteration, consonance and assonance • The repetition of sounds where consonance uses consonants and assonance uses vowels Ex. From “The Raven” by Edgar Allan Poe Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary, Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore— While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, As of someone gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door. “’Tis some visitor,” I muttered, “tapping at my chamber door— Only this and nothing more.” 2. Allusion • a literary device in which an author uses subject matter refer to an event, place, or other work – usually not directly stated • An indirect reference to a piece of knowledge not explicitly mentioned in the text, e.g. “Chocolate was her Achilles Heel” Ex. When Nature sleeps and stars are mute, To mar the silence ev’n with lute. At rest on ocean’s brilliant dyes An image of Elysium lies:” 3. Analogy • A literary device that creates a relationship based on parallels or connections between two ideas. By establishing this relationship, the new idea is introduced through a familiar comparison, thus making the new concept easier to grasp. Analogy is more extensive and elaborate than either a simile or a metaphor. Ex. From Romeo and Juliet “What’s in a name? That which we call a rose By any other word would smell as sweet. So Romeo would, were he not Romeo called,” 4. Apostrophe • An apostrophe used in literature is an arrangement of words addressing a non-existent person or an abstract idea in such a way as if it were present and capable of understanding feelings.

  • ABSTRACT Figuring Jesus: the Power of Rhetorical Figures Of
    ABSTRACT Figuring Jesus: The Power of Rhetorical Figures of Speech in the Gospel of Luke Keith A. Reich, Ph.D. Mentor: Mikeal C. Parsons, Ph.D. This dissertation examines Luke’s use of rhetorical figures of speech on the lips of Jesus as a means of persuading his audience to accept a role-reversing message that challenged the social, religious, economic and political systems in the Roman Empire. A figure of speech is the use of either words or thoughts in a way that is uncommon or out of the ordinary. Because figures of speech are the “uncommon” use of language, they stand out to an audience and grab their attention. They are an artful ordering of words designed to be powerful, memorable, and to seize attention. This dissertation takes seriously the adage that says, “It’s not what you say, it’s how you say it.” The form of the Lukan Jesus’ speech is just as important as the content of that speech. To ignore the form of Jesus’ speech is to ignore the power and persuasiveness of his message. Luke uses figures of speech in various ways to persuade his audience of the gospel message. He uses figures of speech to fulfill the stylistic virtues of clarity and ornamentation. Fulfilling these stylistic virtues makes the Lukan Jesus’ argument easy to follow and impressive, serving as an ethos argument to portray Jesus as one who speaks like the social elites. Further, Luke uses figures as a means of argument and persuasion to draw the audience to side with Jesus and to participate in his message.

In order to examine how the distinction between the two fields is contingent on a variety of local factors, this study makes use of research in contemporary cognitive neuroscience, particularly work in categorization and cognitive linguistics, to emphasize the provisional nature of conceptual thought; that is, on the type of mental activity that gives rise to conceptualizations such as “Rhetoric” and “Poetry.” The final portions of the research attempt to use some modeling techniques derived from cognitive linguistics as invention strategies for producing stylistically idiosyncratic academic knowledge, and for examining the relationship between the stylistic markers we associate with each of the two aforementioned fields.

Abstract This study deals with the semantic analysis of translating litotes, the rhetorical figure of speech. In litotes, context plays an essential role in determining the overall understanding of the meaning of litotes expressions. The study hypothesizes that the cultural manifestation also plays an essential role to discriminate the meaning of the overall context of the text. Also the paper deals with the case of double negation when two forms of negation are used in the same clause. In some logics and some languages, double negatives cancel each other out and produce an affirmative sense. In other languages, double negatives intensify the negation. The rhetorical term for this effect, when it leads to understand affirmation, is litotes. 1. Litotes: The Rationale Litotes is a rhetorical figure of speech in which an affirmative is expressed by the negative of the contrary.
