Abstract
ABSTRACT
Novella is a part of literary works which is included in prose format. It is a prose narrative which is longer than short story but shorter than novel. Editors often measure the novella about 15.000 words. Here, The Chrysanthemums and Other Stories is included in this category. To analyze this novella, the theory of deixis which is proposed by Karl Buhler will be used, because it provides the
basic theory of how people use the language in written or spoken on the function
of words, especially deixis. Beside that, in deixis there is a potential ambiguity and it is present in providing a subtle opportunity for a hearer to decide what was communicated. This study, then focus on on the deixis types, which consists of three parts, namely place deixis, time-space deixis, and person deixis. The research problem on deixis in John Steinbeck’s The Chrysanthemums and Other Stories is conducted with the proposed problem: what kinds of deixis are used in this novella? And how are the deixis in this novella?
This research is classified into descriptive qualitative research because it
analyzes the data descriptively based on the deixis theory. In addition, the data of this study are in the forms of utterances or words rather than numbers were not statistically analyzed. This method is chosen since it is intended to get the accurate result from analyzing the data.
Data analysis revealed some findings covering the formulated research problems. The deixis in John Steinbeck’s The Chrysanthemums and Other Stories is in the forms of person, time, and place deixis. Person deixis contains of first person, second person and third person deixis that are used to identify the speaker, the addressee, and the referents. Time deixis is used to point the certain period of time when the speaker uttering the sentences and determine the time to do something from their utterances. In addition, place deixis is appeared to describe to a location relative to the location of a participant in speech event, as well as what had been shown in the context. In place deixis, a speaker can refer to something that is in vicinity or farther away. Based on those findings, it is recommended for the authors to comprehend and consider the deixis types when they write novel, short story, or novella.
