Gaya bahasa dalam cereka : satu kajian perbandingan stilistik cerpenis remaja Malaysia dan Singapura
Abstract
The aim of this thesis is to analyse the use of Malay language in five short stories from Malaysia and five short stories from Singapore. The ten short stories are as follows:
Malaysia
● Tanang Village (Kampung Tanang) by Ab. Rahman Nayan.
● Hot Chilli Gravy (Gulai Lemak Cili Api) by Azyan Juhaida Abd. Rahman.
● Between Padi, the Farmer and the Grass (Antara Padi, Petani dan Rumput) by Emylya Othman.
● A Lover (Pekasih) by Esmawady Mohd. Esa.
● The Person I Once Knew (Dia Yang Kukenali) by Hafizah Iszahanid.
Singapore
● Sulaiman the Slyman (Sulaiman Slyman) by Mohammed Thamrin Kamsan.
● Teenage Doctor (Doktor Remaja) by Sharifah Khadijah Aljoofri.
● Last Letter for Lin (Warkah Terakhir Buat Tatapan Lin) by Norfazilah Abdul Rashid.
● Yesterdays Epilogue (Epilog Semalam) by Hazleeya Mad Ali.
● Ira by Masidah Kamis.
These short stories were analysed based on sentence construction, word order, and language style, with emphasis on aesthetic value. The research aims at identifying writing styles of young writers from Malaysia and Singapore. This research uses various approaches, in particular, the linguistic and literary approaches.
The linguistic approach looks basically at sentence construction. It looks at how the sentence construction is able to enhance the aesthetic value of the writing. Denotative and connotative words are looked at as well as the use of personification and metaphors. Data on word group is also collected in order to ascertain variety of words used.
The literary approach looks into the style of writing. Style refers to the use of repetitive words, and cohesiveness of the sentence and text. The young writers' ability to expand ideas and innovate through language is something interesting to look at. This research only looks at a few aspects, therefore a more comprehensive study should be done based on these findings.
