1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background of the Study
Talking about language, we are talking about communicating; there will be no communication without language like drawing without pencil.
Keraf (2005: 1) says, “(1) Bahasa adalah alat komunikasi antara anggota
masyarakat berupa simbol bunyi yang dihasilkan oleh alat ucap manusia dan (2)
sistem komunikasi yang menggunakan simbol-simbol vokal”.
(1) language is a tool of communication between the society like a symbol of sound that is produced by human’s speech organ, (2) a system of communication that use vocal symbols).
Language cannot be separated with literature. We could say the language is the paper and the literature is the color pencil; it makes a communication beautifully. Taylor (1981:1) says that literature is just like other arts, is essentially an imaginative act of writer’s imagination of selecting, ordering, and interpreting life experiences. On the other hand, Richard (1985:4) says that poetry is both a specially made object and important form of communication between people. One of the most important elements is poem or poetry. Poetry is the shortest category than other four genres of literature.
Robert and Jacob in their say, “Literature is classified into four genres: prose fiction, poetry, drama, and nonficiton prose.”

human beings. Poetry exists in many formal and informal shapes, from the brief haiku to the extensive epic (Edgar and Henry, 1995:2).
Siswantoro (2002:1) says, “puisi merupakan media untuk
mengkomunikasikan apa yang dirasakan, diamati dari lingkungan sekitarnya dan apa yang dihayalkannya”.
(Poetry is a media that is used to connect what we feel, see in our surroundings and what we imagine.)
Shelley (1821) said that poem is a mirror which makes writing art more beautiful that which is disorted, while Quasimodo (1960) in said that poem is the relevation of a feeling that the poet believes to be interior and personal which the reader recognizes as his own.
Waluyo (1987:83, 27) says, “gaya bahasa sering dikaitkan dengan sastra
dan dengan puisi khususnya, selain itu gaya bahasa membuat puisi memiliki
makna yang lebih banyak lagi. Gaya bahasa merupakan salah satu unsur dari
puisi. Ada juga beberapa unsur lain seperti tema, nada, perasaan, diksi, dan
irama. Beberapa contoh gaya bahasa antara lain metafora, simile, personifikasi,
eufemisme dan alusio”.
From the definition above it can be concluded that style of language very connected with literature.
3
However, Style of language in poetry is the place where we can share our feeling, unspoken feeling in poetry, no matter good or bad feeling we have. It’s a place where we can tell the moment we have which is going to be memorized in the future.
The four Catherine Cookson poems which are going to be studied in this paper are the best poems.Catherine Cookson was an English author poet. She was born in South Shields, Tyneside, England. She was known as "Kate”.
In this paper, the writer has chosen four poems from Catherine Cookson as the subject of this paper. The writer is strongly interested in story that the author expressed throught her poems which maybe happened in life that we live in, as the author of the poems experienced and expressed it through the poems. The fourpoems tell us so many knowledge about life, love, faithful and hopes. That’s why the writer would like to analize style of language in the lyrics of the poems. 1.2 Problem of Study
Based on the background of this proposal, the problem of this study is what style of language is used in the lyrics of Catherine Cookson poems.
1.3 Purpose of Study
The purpose of this study is to know the style of language of the lyrics of Catherine Cookson poems through her four poems. The writer wants to analyze the Lyrics of the four poems.
1.4 Scope of Study

that we can study what’s actually going to be told by the author through her poems. However, the writer focuses on analyzing the four poems of Catherine Cookson. When I die, From My Bed, Just a Saying, I Am Young.
1.5 Significance of the Study
The significances of the study are:
1) It becomes a reference for the next writer who wants to continue a research on this topic.

2. REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
In completing the writing of this paper, the writer has consulted some certain books and conducted library research. The theoritical statements are definitely required and all those statements are on the books. The defenitions are written as follows.
Roberts and Jacobs (1995). This book is about literature. It guides the reader to understand how to read and write, for the book is specified to explanation about introduction to reading and writing. The book is unique among anthologies, however, because it is dedicated throughout to the interlocking processes of writing and reading. And this book is so good to read to increase our knowledge about literature.
Siswantoro (2002) explains that about poetry. The whole elements of poems are describing in this book. Begin from the meaning of poetry, how to read poetry, the style of poetry, imagery, rhythm, tone, and etc. If somebody wants to know more about poetry this book is good to read.
2.1 Poem
Tarigan (1986:4) explains that the poet derived from the Greek word whichmeans to make or create. In the Greek language itself, the word poet means the person who creates through his imagination, people who almost like gods or very fond of the gods. He is a shrewd man, a saint, who was also a philosopher, statesman, teacher, someone who can guess the hidden truth.
Perrine (1974: 553) defined poem as a kind of language that says more
6
Volpe’s idea (1967:3) he said that poem is a perhaps the most difficult kind of
language.
Waluyo (1995:23) says, ”Puisi merupakan bentuk kesusasteraan yang
menggunakan pengulangan suara sebagai ciri khasnya. Pengulangan kata tersebut menghasilkan rima, irama atau ritme”.Menurut Tarigan (1984:4) says,
“kata puisi berasal dari bahasa Yunani ”poeisis” yang berarti penyair,
sedangkan dalam bahasa Inggris, puisi disebut dengan istilah poem yang berarti syair atau sajak. Arti ini lama-kelamaan dipersempit ruang lingkupnya menjadi hasil sastra yang kata-katanya disusun menurut syarat-syarat tertentu dengan menggunakan irama, sajak, dan kata-kata kiasan”.
From the definition above, it can be concluded that poem a literary work a bit tricky, has many meanings and many results can get from a poem.
Pradopo (1990:55) says, “Dalam puisi, bahasa yang digunakan oleh
setiap penulis berbeda-beda. Pada umumnya perbedaan ini merupakan ciri khas tertentu bagi seorang penulis. Gaya bahasa dari sebuah puisi ditentukan oleh tujuan si penulis yang membuat puisi tersebut. Selain itu, unsur kebiasaan serta unsur kedaerahan seorang penulis dapat mempengaruhi gaya bahasa seorang penulis puisi”.
The quotation means, in poem, language that is used by each poet is different. Generally, this difference is a particular characteristic for a poet. The language of a poem is determined by the poet’s purpose in writing the poem. In addition, the poet’s custom and regional element can effect the post stylistic. On the other hand, Coleridge (1933) says, “poem is different with prose although both poem and prose are an art form and generally creative in nature that is used to express emotion or to tell a story”.
7
Shakespeare (1612) describes that the most popular kind of the poetry is the lyric poetry because it shows bewildering variety of forms, as it deeds intricately with the author’s own emotions and views. On the other hand, Dylan (1899) said that Poetry is what makes someone laugh or cry or yawn, what makes someone toenails twinkle, what makes someone want to do this or that or nothing.
Delu (1998) said that as one of the most important forms in literature, poems enjoys special style which brings people to the beauty of rhythm, vision, image and implied meaning. While Altenberg and Lewis (1989:6) started that poem elements consist of : (1) poem characteristic, (2) poem language such as diction, imagery, and figurative language, (3) form such as sound and meaning, (4) content such as narration, emotion, and theme.
Robert (2010) explains that Poetry is an ancient art or technology; older than computer, older than print, older than writing indeed, though some may find this surprising much older than prose. I presume that the technology of poetry, using the human body as its medium, evolved for specific uses; to hold thing in memory, both within and beyond the individual life span; to achieve intensity and sensuous appeal; to express feelings and ideas rapidly and memorably; to share those feelings and ideas with companions, and also with the dead and with those to come after us.
8
Charles (1998) explains that Prose poetry is a hybrid genre that shows attributes of both prose and poetry. It maybe indistinguishable from the micro-story. Most critics argue that it qualifies as poetry because of its conciseness, use of metaphor and special attention to language.
Richards (1986) and Ahmad (1993:7). Richards said that poem elements consist of sense, feeling, intention, tone, method of poem like diction, imagery, stylistic and rhythm.
Dick Hartoko ( 1987:27) says, “puisi terdiri dari dua unsur, yaitu unsur
tematik atau unsur semantik puisi dan unsur sintaksis puisi. Unsur tematik atau unsur semantik puisi menuju ke arah struktur batin sedangkan unsur sintaksis mengarah pada struktur fisik puisi. Struktur batin adalah makna yang terkandung dalam puisi yang tidak secara langsung dapat dihayati. Struktur batin terdiri dari (1) tema, (2) perasaan, (3) nada dan suasana, (4) amanat atau pesan. Struktur fisik adalah struktur yang bisa kita lihat melalui bahasanya yang tampak. Struktur fisik terdiri dari (1) diksi, (2) pengimajian, (3) kata konkret, (4) bahasa figuratif atau majas, dan (5) tata wajah”
From, the definition above can be concluded that poetry has many structures and many meaningsfrom the feels and tones.
2.2 The Stylistic
9
communicate to the reader. Futher, Coulthard said that stylistic devices are represented by two categories; (1) figures of thought, and (2) figures of speech. Both figures of thought and figures of speech are used in speech with the same aim of intensifying the emotional or logical emphasis that the information transferred should convey.
Nurgiyanto (2002:296) says, “ Gaya bahasa adalah teknik pengungkapan
bahasa yang dipakai untuk mengungkapkan sesuatu dengan tidak menunjuk secara langsung objek yang dituju”. (Stylistic is a technique of language that uses figurative meaning. Figurative meaning is a language that used is to tell something without indicating the object)”
. From the statements above, we can say that stylistic is the style, the way a writer expresses his thought through the words written in the pages.
While sumardjo (1998:127) says, “Gaya bahasa adalah cara dalam
menggunakan bahasa untuk memperkuat daya teriknya”. (Stylistic is the way of
using the language to raise the power of attraction).
From statement above, style of language the way in language to make literature has stronger meaning.
Anwar (2001:119) says, “Gaya bahasa adalah ciri khas seorang penyair
ataupun pengarang dalam membuat karya tulis yang menarik untuk menarik pembaca. Biasanya, gaya bahasa menggunakan bahasa kiasan untuk mengekspresikan perasaan tertentu atau mendorong imajinasi yang dikembangkan dalam menciptakan gambar, tujuannya adalah untuk meningkatkan efektivitas, kejelasan, dan kenikmatan dari komunikasi baik tertulis maupun lisan”.
10
of creating images, it is purpose being to improve the effectiveness, clarity, and enjoyment of both written and oral commication).
Sujiman (1990:33) says, “Gaya bahasa adalah cara untuk menyampaikan
ide ataupun perasaan kedalam kata-kata dalam bentuk tulisan atau lisan”.
(Stylistic is the way to deliver the thoughts and feelings into words in written or oral form).
From the definition above can be concluded that style of language is the way to show what happening with our condition with many ways.
The word stylistic Keraf (2002:13) has related with the word style. Keraf says, “Kata style berasal dari bahasa latin, namun orang yunani suadah mengembangkan sendiri teori-teori mengenai style itu. Ada dua pandangan mengenai style : (1) Aliran Platonik, mereka menganggap style sebagai kualitas suatu ungkapan, ada ungkapan yang memiliki style dan ada juga yang tidak memiliki style. (2) Aliran Aristoteles, mereka menganggap stylr adalah suatu kualitas yang inheren, yang ada dalam tiap ungkapan. Aliran Aristoteles juga menganggap bahwa semua karya memiliki gaya, ada yang kuat dan ada yang lemah.” (Style comes from the latin, but greek people have developed their own theoris about the style. There are two points of view about style, (1) Platonic, they thought the style as an expression of quality and there is a phrase that has style and some are not. (2) Aristotle, they thought the style is a quality that is inherent in every expression.Aristotle also thought that all the works have style, but there is a high-value work and there is a low, there is a strong value and thereis a weak). Futher, Keraf (2002) in his book Diksi dan Gaya Bahasa says, “gaya
11
empat bagian : (1) Gaya bahasa berdasarkan pilihan kata : gaya resmi, gaya tak resmi, gaya percakapan; (2) Gaya bahasa berdasarkan nada : gaya sederhana, gaya bertenaga, gaya menengah; (3) Gaya bahasa berdasarkan struktur kalimat: klimaks, antiklimaks, paralelisme, antitesis, repetisi; (4) Gaya bahasa berdasarkan langsung tidaknya makna : gaya bahasa retorika seperti aliterasi, eufimisme, litetes, hiperbola, anastrof, paradoks; dan gaya bahasa kiasan seperti simile, metafora, pernonifikasi, algori, eponim dan ironi”.
(Stylistic is a way to express idea through language to show the soul, spirit, and the personality of the writer. Stylistic has four parts : (1) Stylistic based on the choice of words: formal style, informal style, convertational style; (2) Stylistic based on tones; simple style, powerful style, medium style; (3) Stylistic based on sentence structure: climax, anticlimax, parallelism, antithesis, repetition; (4) Stylistic based on direct or indirect meaning; rhetoric style such as alliteration, euphemism, litotes, hyperbola, anastrophe, paradox and figurative language style such as simile,metaphor, personification,allegory, eponymous and irony).
In this study, the writer analyzed one of four parts stylistic that are started by Keraf, that is stylistic based on direct and indirect meaning, they are rhetoric style and figurative language style. Rhetoric style consist of alliteration, euphemism, litotes, hyperbola, anastrophe, paradox, and figurative language style consist of similie, metaphor, personification, allegory, eponymous and irony.
Keraf(2002) says,“(1) aliterasi adalah gaya bahasa yang digunakan untuk
12
simile adalah gaya bahasa yang secara langsung membandingkan dua hal yang berbeda dan biasanya menggunakan akta ‘seperti dan bagaikan’.(8) Metafora adalah gaya bahasa yang membandingkan dua hal yang tidak sama yang sebenarnya memiliki suatu kesamaaan. (9) Personifikasi adalah gaya bahasa yang menggambarkan benda mati seolah-olah hidup dan melakukan hal yang hanya dapat dilakukan oleh manusia. (10) Alegori adalah gaya bahasa yang menggunakan lambang-lambang seperti fabel dan parabel. (11) Eponim adalah gaya bahasa yang menyebutkan nama seseorang yang dihubungkan dengan sifat tertentu. (12) Ironi adalah gaya bahasa berupa pernyataan yang isinya bertentangan dengan kenyataan sebenarnya”.
From the definition above can be concluded that poetry has many kinds that always has a different ways to show what the meaning.

3. METHODOLOGY 3.1 Research Design
The writer uses one of the research methods that is library research.Roth (1986) says, Library research is an activity in searching data and information to be used. The first step did by the writer reads Catherine Cookson’s poems, then the Writer collects some literary books especially books that are relevant to the topic that can support the analysis and as reference in finishing this paper.
3.2 Data and Data sources
Data in the analysis style of language in the lyrics found in four Chatherine Cookson’s Poems are Data (1) When I Die, line 1-3, 1-5, 4-5, and 11-12. Data (2) From My Bed, line 1-3, 1-7, 5-7,8-9, 10 and 13. Data (3) Just A Saying, line 1, 7, and 9-10. Data (4) I Am Young, line 1-12. The writer chooses these poems as the data source because the four poems are simple, easy to understand and the poems has a different story, When I die tell about faithful, From my bed tell about hopes, Just A Saying tell about love and I Am Young tell about life. Although the poems are simple, but they have more than one language style in each poem. Arikunto (2006:129) says, “dugaan dari sumber
data adalah subjek darimana data diperoleh. Ketika peneliti menggunakan daftar
pertanyaan ataupun wawancara untuk mengumpulkan data, penjawab sumber
data memangil orang-orang untuk menjawab atau menanggapi pertanyaan
peneliti, baik pertanyaan lisan maupun tulisan”.(the notion of data sources are the
14
or interviewers to collect data, then the data sources responder called the people to respond or answer the research question, whether oral or written question).
3.3 Data Collecting Method
In collecting the data, the writer applies observation method.
Raharjo and Gunanto (2011:47) say, “Metode observasi adalah kegiatan
pengamatan yang direncanakan, sistematis dan hasilnya dicatat serta dimaknai (diinterpretasikan) dalam rangka memperoleh pemahaman tentang objek yang diamati”,
(Observation method is observation activities that are planned, systematic, and the result are recorded and understood (interpreted) in order to gain an understanding of the object being observed).
3.4 Data Analysis Method
The data are analyzed by using descriptive method.
Sugiyono (2005: 21) says, “metode deskriptif adalah suatu metode yang
digunakan untuk menggambarkan atau menganalisis suatu hasil penelitian tetapi
tidak digunakan untuk membuat kesimpulan yang lebih luas”.
(Descriptive method is a method that is used to describe or analyzed a result of a research, but it does not use to make the larger conclution.)
Steps to analyze style of language in the lyrics : 1) Reading the Chaterine Cookson’s book “Just A Saying”. 2) Selecting poems as object
15
However, the book are not good enought to be the sources’s data in writing this paper. The writer also searched and collected data from internet to enrich an accurate data. The last , the writer described and analyze the data and made some conclusions. To ease the reader understanding in this method, the writer describes as chart bellow:
Data Sources
1. The Catherine Cookson book
2. Literary books
3. internet

17
reader think over an idea in innovative way. Because in line 4-5 “My body maybe died, but my spirit is alive”it means she died, but her spirit not, itshows a conflict and contrast. In line 11-12 ”So take comfort, heart of mine, our spirits cannot be parted”is used a Polisidenton style, because in line 11-12 showed effortto delivery something by using conjunctions repeatedly .
Based on sentence structure, line 1-5 is used a climax style, Climax is a structural part of a plot and is at times referred to as a crisis. It is a decisive moment or a turning point in a storyline at which the rising action turns around into a falling action. Thus, a climax is the point at which a conflict or crisis reaches its peak that calls for a resolution or denouement (conclusion). Because in line 1,2,3,4, and 5 “when I die, let me lie, for a time in my bed, my body maybe died, but my spirit is alive” that showsomething that sequence increasingly peaked.
18
The result of the analysis lyrics of this poem, the style of language is useddata 2in line 1-3,5-7,8-9,10 and 13. In line 1-3 is used a Repetition style, Repetition is a literary device that repeats the same words or phrases a few times to make an idea clearer. There are several types of repetitions commonly used in both prose and poetry. As a rhetorical device, it could be a word, a phrase or a full sentence or a poetical line repeated to emphasize its significance in the entire text. Repetition is not distinguished solely as a figure of speech but more as a rhetorical device. Because in line 1,2 and 3 “how beautiful, how exquisite, how divine” it used a repetition of words “how”. In line 5,6 and 7 “unattached, and, what is more, you are mine” it shows a contradiction,that is means line 5,6 and 7 used Apofasis style, because in line 5,6 and 7 “Unttached, and what is more, you are mine” it showsthe writer wanted taunt but actually praised.
In line 8-9 “Your scent is beyond parfume, It makes my sense reel” it means his beyond parfume make her sense reel, it is used a Sarcasm style,Sarcasm is derived from French word sarcasm and also from a Greek word sarkazein that means “tear flesh” or “grind the teeth”. Somehow, in simple words it means to speak bitterly. Generally, the literal meaning is different than what the speaker intends to say through sarcasm. Sarcasm is a literary and rhetorical device that is meant to mock with often satirical or ironic remarks with a purpose to amuse and hurt someone or some section of society simultaneously.Because in line 8-9 there is show a mockery, affront “parfume make sense reel”.
19
things. Unlike a metaphor, a simile draws resemblance with the help of the words “like” or “as”. Therefore, it is a direct comparison.Because it is marked with the word “like”, it shows a parable “like velvet” it means his touch like velvet. In line 13 “Crystal supports your pose” is used a Methapor, because “Crystal” is a figure of speech, this sentence means something expensive or something that sparkle is supports your pose or your move.
Based on sentence structure, line 1-7 is used a Anticlimax style, The definition of Anticlimax is written or verbal communication which starts with a dignified or meaningful idea, but takes a sudden turn into a commonplace, stupid or ridiculous idea. Because in line 1,2,3,5,4,6 and 7 “how beautiful, how exquisite, how divine, you are single” it means how beautiful you are, how exquisite you are, how divine you are, BUT you are single, Unttached, and, what is more, you are mine” that showed loss of quality, from top to bottom.
Data 3. JUST A SAYING

20
used a Hiperbola style, Hyperboles are exaggerations to create emphasis or effect. As a literary device, hyperbole is often used in poetry, and is frequently encountered in casual speech.Many times the usage of hyperbole describes something as better or worse than it really is.An example of hyperbole is: "The bag weighed a ton". Hyperbole makes the point that the bag was very heavy, though it probably does not weigh a ton.“flare” it shows something too over, excessisve, this sentence “when the squabbles FLARE” exaggerated the situation and condition.
In line 7 “When first love’s pain rips the breast” is also used a Hiperbola style, this sentence rips the breast because first loves pain. Same as line 1, “Rips the breast” it shows something too over because first loves pain, exaggrated state of affairs and condition.
21
The result of the analysis lyrics of this poems, the style of language is used in data 4 in line 1-12. In line 1-12 “I am young, I am tall, I am young, I am small, I am young, I am pretty, I am young, I am plain, I am young, I can walk, I am young, I am lame, I am young, I am well, I am young, I am ill, I am young, I am black, I am young, I am white,I am young, I can see,I am young, I am blind” is used a Repetition style, because there is always used “I am” for the first and middle sentence. Almost every physical type and what human can there is. And in line 13 and 14 “Whichever one of these I am, dear Lord, I pray you, keep me kind” showed a demand, and gave a message to reader is no matter who we are, keep kind.
Time enought when one is ready To let go,
22 The short journey out
Will be tomorrow or so
So take comfort, Heart of mine, Our spirits cannot be parted, For each is a part of the divine
2) FROM MY BED How beautiful you are, How exquisite,
How divine, You are single Unattached
And, what is more, You are mine
Your scent is beyond perfume, It makes my sense reel,
Your touch is like velvet, Your colour passionare,
Yet serene you stand in cool clear water, Crystal supports your pose
23 3) JUST A SAYING
In childhood when the squabbles flare, And to the origin of the fight
There’s not a clue Except the words I’m not kind with you And in youth,
When first loves pain rips the breast, Your best friend,
Who’s without a lad,
Tells stems from her jealous core, She’s not kind with him any more And in the middle of marriage When hearts are sore
And the tie is about to snap, They say if him
Oh he’s not kind with her, She’s played him dirty And he’s a decent chap But when in age,
And habits stales,
24 She’s not kind with him,
He’s not kind with her Their lives,
Like the ebb tide, run over the sand What is left ?
Only to be kind to him, To be kind to her
4) I AM YOUNG I am young, I am tall I am young, I am small I am young, I am pretty I am young, I am plain I am young, I can walk I am young, I am lame I am young, I am well I am young, I am ill I am young, I am black I am young, I am white I am young, I can see I am young, I am blind
25
5. CONCLUSIONS AND SUGGESTIONS 5.1 Conclusions
Based on the data analyzed, thereare eight styles of language that are found in the lyrics from four poems of Catherine Cookson. They are Redudancy, Paradox, Climax, Repetition, Sarkasme, Simile, Anticlimax and Hyperbola. Many kind styles of language, has a diffeerent meaning, different intentions and different functions. In general, style of language is a way to express idea through language to show the soul, spirit, and personality of writer. Funtions style of language are to make literary works become more attractive wonderful, has a deeper meaninga reader curious. With the meaning from literary works, for example like poetry, words be more special in a poetry with style of language, not enough just once read the poem for know the meaning, the reader must read the poem repeatedly to know the meaning of the poem, that the reason why style of language can make a poetry more attractive and make a reader curious.

Dame Catherine Cookson, DBE (27 June 1906 – 11 June 1998) was an English author.
