STYLISTIC ANALYSIS OF EARLE BIRNEY’S THE BEAR ON THE DELHI ROAD
Abstract
Stylistics study provides a different way of approaching literary analysis to examine poetic expression, point of view, meaning, and themes. By using the linguistics approach, stylistics helps to objectively disclose literal meaning and poetic expression in the text. Thus, this research attempts a stylistic analysis of Earle Birney’s poem The Bear on the Delhi Road and examines how language features affect the poetic expression and literal meaning in the poem. Furthermore, this research is a content analysis approach that is analyzed through the stylistics analysis. Stylistics analysis in this research focuses on the three language levels, phonology, syntactic, and lexical. In the part of phonology levels, the researchers focus on the rhyme scheme, alliteration, assonance, and consonance. While syntactic levels focus on the transitivity patterns, affixes, and pronouns. Then, lexical levels focus on figurative language and imagery.
