EKSPRESI PUITIK DALAM ANTOLOGI PUISI DWIBAHASA M. AAN MANSYUR: KAJIAN TERJEMAHAN PUISI

Poetic expression in poetry of different languages is an interesting theme to study because this
literary work reflects not only the personal expression of the poet but also the world through
diction and figurative language that carry certain moral messages. This study aims to reveal the
translation of comparative and contradictory figurative languages which are used to convey
poetic expressions found in the poems about love and the existence of a poem, which are
understood by the poet, M. Aan Mansyur, in his bilingual poetry collection, "There is No New York
Today." The method used in this research was a combination of content analysis and stylistic
approach. The writer compared figurative language in two languages, Indonesian and English and
the strategies applied to translate them. This study found that first, poetic expressions were
expressed in three ways, namely (1) comparative figurative language represented by metaphors,
(2) contradictory figurative language manifested through paradoxes, and (3) combinations of
comparison and contradiction in one verse of poetry, and second, the translation strategies applied
were literal translation and literal-meaning translation. These two findings are useful for
exploring the use of comparative and contradictory figurative language as well as how to translate
them so that the message is conveyed perfectly and the language style used by the translator is as
beautiful as the poetry of the source language.
