| Summary: | This research had been used stylistics theoretical basis and supported by the
theory of semiotics. The purpose of this study is to discuss the metaphor of Laskar
Pelangi tetralogy to find the typical writing style of Andrea Hirata�s metaphor, meaning,
and functions, as well as frequency of use of Andrea Hirata�s metaphor, including much
use of metaphor and the functions. Laskar Pelangi tetralogy includes four novels of
Andrea Hirata, Laskar Pelangi, Sang Pemimpi, Edensor, and Maryamah Karpov.
Metaphor questioned the comparison between the one with the other as a composition
that reflects the expression of the author and cultural social codes including the highly
visible nature of tetralogy Laskar Pelangi by Andrea Hirata. If related to the style or the
style have been used by Andrea Hirata in his novels, Andrea Hirata has its own style or
styles in using metaphor as an expression, a container of ideas, or where his ideas to
convey a message at the time of Andrea Hirata creating literary works. Style language of
metaphor has a notion to compare something with something else without using the
words of comparator circuit. This metaphor figurative language such as comparison, just
did not use comparison words, such as, like, like, and so forth. Metaphor is seen as the
same thing or worth to something else, which really is not the same. Metaphor consists of
two terms or two parts, the term of principal (principal term) and the second term
(secondary term). The principal term called the tenor, the second term is called vehicle.
Principal term or tenor have mentioned the comparison, while the second term or the
vehicle is a thing to compare. For example Arai is a Sacred Hoop, Arai is the principal
term, is sacred hoop is the vehicle. In addition to these metaphors were also founded the
implicit metaphor and the dead metaphor. The division of metaphor type is based on the
Wahab�s theory by dividing of the metaphor to 9, namely: the being metaphor, cosmos,
energy, substance, terestrial, object, life, humans, and fauna.
The use of metaphor can not be separated by social experience and cultural
background of the author. That is, a metaphor that was created by Andrea Hirata is very
influenced by his environment, because the author's perception of natural phenomena and
social phenomena can not be separated from the state of the environment too.
Analysis of the meaning and function of metaphor in Laskar Pelangi tetralogy
prove that the use of metaphor pretty much found. Metaphor of life (human) are the
hallmark of Laskar Pelangi tetralogy because its presence dominates among other types
of metaphor. Metaphor Andrea Hirata show aesthetic function and in particular social and
cultural motivations, struggles, and education.
Finally, this study concludes that the use of metaphor is quite a lot in the
Laskar Pelangi tetralogy in a sequence that occupies most of the frequency Sang
Pemimpi, then Maryamah Karpov, Laskar Pelangi, and Edensor. Besides this, also found
that the use of metaphor in a novel improve the quality of the novel, so it is not surprising
that Laskar Pelangi tetralogy extraordinary acceptable by the reader. It�s the meaning, the
use of metaphor is the tendency of its own aesthetic, and one means of improving the
quality of literary creation.
