Menyingkap Ekspresi Ketuhanan dalam Puisi: Telaah Kognitif Pragmatik atas Bahasa Spiritual

Adriansyah Abu Katili, Muzdalifah Mahmud

Abstract


This article explores the expression of divinity in poetry. The poems analyzed are
"Siang Arafah" by Suminto A. Sayuti and "God's World" by Edna St. Millay. This
research was conducted using a cognitive pragmatic approach, incorporating
Austin's speech act theory and Sperber and Wilson's theory of relevance. The
research method employed the principles of discourse analysis, namely the
principles of local interpretation and analogy. This study found that Sayuti's poems
utilize expressive speech acts. Using relevance theory, it was found that the poets
frequently use diction that clarifies the meaning of the expressive speech acts to the
reader. Meanwhile, Millay's poem "God's World" contains expressive speech acts.
Millay also uses diction to enable the reader to interpret the meaning of the
utterances. The meaning of both poems is a longing for God.


Keywords
