Abstract

This study aims to analyze the language styles and stylistic elements employed in the poetry collection Hujan Bulan Juniby Sapardi Djoko Damono. The study focuses on how the poet uses various linguistic and stylistic devices to convey ideas, emotions, experiences, and philosophical meanings in his poems. A qualitative descriptive method is employed with a stylistic approach to examine the relationship between linguistic choices and the aesthetic and semantic effects they produce. The data consist of words, phrases, clauses, and sentences containing elements of language style, which were collected through documentation and note-taking techniques and subsequently analyzed descriptively and interpretatively.The findings indicate that Sapardi Djoko Damono makes extensive use of metaphors, personification, hyperbole, repetition, symbolism, and imagery. Metaphors are used to express abstract ideas through concrete comparisons, while personification gives human characteristics to objects, nature, and abstract concepts, creating a more intimate and emotional atmosphere. Hyperbole strengthens emotional emphasis, repetition highlights important ideas and creates rhythm, and symbolism allows ordinary objects or natural phenomena to represent deeper meanings. Imagery also plays an important role in enabling readers to visualize, hear, feel, or emotionally experience the situations presented in the poems. In addition, the poet's careful selection of simple yet meaningful diction contributes to the subtle, contemplative, and distinctive character of his poetry. Therefore, the study concludes that the stylistic richness of Hujan Bulan Juni significantly contributes to its literary value and demonstrates Sapardi Djoko Damono's important role in enriching modern Indonesian literature.
