Chapter three examines how artifice at its most conspicuous assigns an original set of values to the people and objects that populate imaginative worlds. Attending to the work of the epithet in Mary Wroth’s Urania, I argue that an indecorous poetics—one that manufactures stylistic surplus and excess—actively revises traditional hierarchies of value in order to generate an imaginative world that revels in the superlative degree. It may be, as Demetrius suggested in On Style, that using figures of speech to describe a wobbling teacup produces an indecorous alignment of words to things but such a use also distinguishes imaginative realms and their alternative constructions of possibility.

This study aimed at finding out the figures of speech used by the government in the political language variation and the purposes to which they serve. On the basis of the data analysis, it was found that there are sixteen types of figures of speech contained in the political language variation, for example, euphemism, repetition, parallelism, personification, parable, anticlimax, sarcasm, trope, hyperbole, pleonasm, climax, antithesis, synecdoche, anaphor, allusion, and metonymy. The purposes of their uses are to vary sentences, to show respect, to express something in a polite manner, and to give an emphasis or stress meanings. The suggestion made in relation to the uses of the figures of speech in political language variation is for the authority (government) to use words or phrases that are simple to make it easy for the people to understand.

The author’s concerted efforts to discover the fate of the surviving Majors and Harlans in Liberia are unsuccessful. However, the epilogue reveals what happened to Ben’s widow, Lucy, and the rest of his family after his death; summarizes the remaining years of George Harlan, who had freed Agnes Harlan and her family; examines the continued work of the American Colonization Society; and looks at the subsequent and rocky history of the Republic of Liberia. The afterword concludes by noting that the vine-and-fig-tree passage in Micah is preceded by this one: “They shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks: nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.” The author ends by expressing her hope that the people of Liberia will be able to build a stable nation where they can all live in peace under their own vines and fig trees.

Descriptive Method

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidenti􀂿kasi struktur puisi syair lagu jenis pop Sunda karya Doel Sumbang yang meliputi, imaji, simbol, musikalitas, suasana, tema dan gaya bahasa; mengidenti􀂿kasi aspek semiotik (ikon, indeks dan simbol); dan mendeskripsikan nilai moralnya. Dalam penelitian ini digunakan metode deskriptif. Data dikumpulkan dengan teknik dokumentasi dan transkripsi. Setelah dianalisis terlihat bahwa kehidupan di dunia tidak terlepas dari dua kemungkinan, yaitu kesenangan dan kesedihan. Di akhir penelitian ditarik kesimpulan, hasil analisis struktur syair lagu jenis pop Sunda karya Doel Sumbang, bahwa imaji yang banyak ditemukan adalah imaji penglihatan. Gaya bahasa yang paling banyak terlihat adalah hiperbola dan personi􀂿kasi. Sedangkan hasil analisis semiotik syair lagu karya Doel Sumbang disimpulkan tanda yang paling banyak dijumpai adalah simbol dan indeks. Hasil analisis nilai moral dalam syair lagu karya Doel Sumbang banyak menceritakan mengenai kritikan bagi para penguasa dan pejabat negara yang mempunyai prilaku nilai kurang terpuji seperti korupsi, yang menyebabkan rakyat sengsara. AbstractThis study aims to identify the structure of Sundanese pop song lyrics by Doel Sumbang, comprising images, symbols, musicality, nuance, theme and 􀂿gure of speech; to identify the aspects of semiotics (icons, indexes and symbols); and to uncover the moral of the lyrics. The research used the descriptive method. The data were documentated and transcribed. Results show that the wordly life cannot be separated from the two possibilities, namely pleasure and misery. The structural analysis reveals that the most common image was visual images. The most identifiable figures of speech were hyperbole and personi􀂿cation. Meanwhile, the semiotic analysis indicates that the signs most often found were symbols and indexes. Results of moral examination show that much of the lyrics carries criticisms to state of􀂿cials who are corrupt, and consequently makes the people miserable.
