speech and investigate the significant of them into in English contemporary short stories A combination of descriptive, quantitative and qualitative methods is employed to use for data analysis The data of this research is 20 English contemporary short stories of the U.S and England lu from 2000 to 2019.The study points out that there are ten of twelve types of an n va figures of speech found based on Perrine‟s theory, namely metaphor, simile, personification, metonymy, synecdoche, symbol, paradox, overstatement, tn to understatement, and irony Simile is the most frequently used, and metonymy p ie gh ranks at the lowest point in the data of study As for the effects they create for the stories, there are four functions of these figures of speech found based on d oa nl w Perrine‟s theory: to afford imaginative pleasure, to bring an additional imagery, to add emotional intensity, and to say much in a brief compass.The nv a lu study hopefully contributes to the procedure of teaching, and learning English fu an in particular and encourages them to use the stylistic device in writing to make their written papers more beautiful and attractive ll oi m at nh z z om l.c gm @

such a system of complex communication The scientific study of language in any of its senses is called linguistics It has brought to the subject of semantics a certain degree of analysis combined with a view of the study of lu an meaning as an integrated component within the total theory of how language va works n tn to When we study about linguistic, we will know about semantics which p ie gh study the meaning In English we know that meaning has important position to study because it will create some effects when someone tries to understand d oa nl w what the speakers or the writers mean When creating a piece of writing as a literary text, the writer has to use a lu words to express his denotative and connotative meanings To have good fu an nv quality of art, a writer not only has to use words effectively, colorfully but also has to use stylistic devices to make his writing more interesting and more ll oi m persuasive In literature and writing, using stylistic devices gives an auxiliary nh meaning, idea, or feeling Indeed, the frequent use of stylistic devices is an at important element to make the literature more attractive and lively z z Particularly, the use of stylistic devices in their written papers has great gm @ impact on the readers om l.c Under stylistics, figure of speech is one of language style aspects commonly discussed Also under stylistics, language style

researches have been done on figures of speech of literary texts like poems (Perrine, 1987), prose texts (Leech & Short, 2007), and short stories (Abet, 2019) This domain of research is spread to the setting of education for student researchers as well (Simpson, 2004) It can be said that most of the studies made a great effort to understand the famous writer and their typical works like Hemingway‟s novels, O‟Henry‟s short stories, or lu Emily Dickinson „s poems an It is clear that short stories not only use denotative meaning to express n va message from the author but also connotative meaning which is used to tn to express agreement, disagreement, happiness, unhappiness, etc, conveyed to p ie gh the listeners or readers Many kinds of figures of speech give us so much information in which they use non literal meaning of words For example, d oa nl w some sentences in the story use figurative language to make it more beautiful, interesting and imaginative Figurative language is language using figures of nv a lu speech (a way of saying one thing and meaning another) There are many fu an types of figurative language such as: metaphor, simile, symbols, hyperbola, irony, etc But in general, the figurative language is differentiated into ll oi m groups in terms of their meanings by comparison, by association and by at nh contrast These figurative languages are famous in society, and also in the z field of education starting from elementary school up to the university level z gm @ (Simpson, 2004) The proved importance of understanding the stylistic devices or figures om l.c of speech in literary texts and the insufficient analysis in contemporary short stories encouraged the author of this thesis to conduct the study on stylistic Lu an devices used in

pensive”, “jubilant but shy”, “magnanimous yet fickle" to express the contradictory but contains truth stated The main character is playful but d oa nl w pensive, jubilant but shy, magnanimous but fickle The writer uses this paradox to add emotional intensity to the story It helps the reader visualize a nv a lu certain part of the main character's personality fu an Paradox is also used in story 18 like: She slipped from the confining pressure of her skin and out into the ll oi m endless night, once more, a whisper of nothing amidst a million stars at nh (Paradox) (S18) z This paradox adds

taken from story of the data His wife Valorie looked up at her husband‟s remark, her blonde ponytail bobbing “I swear Saul can read my mind He seems to know what I‟m going to say before I say it.” (S8) The above sentence is a form of figurative language in metonymy form The use of the word “read” can make reader associate the relationship lu an between “the mind” and “the book” in reality However, by using “ the mind”, n va the writer may also means to indicate the whole person, so in this case the tn to sentence can be understood as “… I swear that Saul can understand me” And p ie gh if it is understood like this, it is a synecdoche because this is a figure of speech in which a part is used to present the whole or the whole for a part d oa nl w The use of this metonymy and synecdoche is to help the writer express his/ her meaning in a brief way a lu 4.2.10 Synecdoche fu an nv According to Kövecses (2010), synecdoche is a variation of metonymy in which a part of a thing

way, the author came across an ancient church deep in the d oa nl w Norfolk countryside, located in a hard-to-see location, surrounded by trees The road to get there is also very difficult Perhaps that day was also a gloomy nv a lu day, so the church appeared in the dark The author uses personification in the fu an phrase “mature trees” to trigger the reader to imagine the scene The young shoots have now grown into big trees, like a child growing up and becoming ll oi m an adult These trees are big, the shade covering the whole sky, thereby at nh enclosing the church in the dark The scene here is deserted, secluded as an z expedition It stimulates an imagination for the readers, making them want to z gm @ explore the place Three figures of speech in story appear in a series of

unicorn and “one simple date” with “no name, no motto, nothing” This figure can bring the readers an additional imagery about the loneliness of the person in the tomb Another example of figure of speech which functions to bring an additional imagery to the readers is presented in the following: They heard a sound like steam escaping, and a door slid open (S8) lu A metonymy “a sound like steam escaping” is used in this sentence to an give the readers an imaginative picture of a sound which is similar to that of n va steam going out of a container Furthermore, a personification is also seen in tn to this example when the writer used the word “escape” - an action of a person p ie gh or animal- for an inanimate thing like “steam” With this, the writer has given the readers an additional picture of some kinds of movement like d oa nl w “escaping”.As can be seen, figures of speech can help to increase the attractiveness of a literary work nv a lu 4.3.3 To add emotional intensity fu an

smacking the floor, the lifeless body following like a piece of meat (S1) In the above sentences similes appear in two places First, the writer lu used a simile based on the similarity of the “petrified mouse under the paw of an a cat” and the hopeless situation of the motionless victim Second, he used n va the simile “like a piece of meat” to indicate the situation of “the lifeless tn to

speech collected from 20 English contemporary short stories from 2000 to tn to 2019 Both quantitative and qualitative approaches are used with the p ie gh assistance of descriptive method for the validity and reliability of the study The major conclusions drawn to answer the two research questions are presented as follows d oa nl w First of all, three categories of figures of speech classified by comparison, by association, and by contrast occur in the data at a different a lu nv ratio.More specifically, there are ten of the twelve types of speech figures fu an found in the data of the research study Through the quantitative analysis, the ll frequencies of occurrence of some commonly used stylistic devices have been m oi displayed, from the highest to the lowest, as follows: Simile, personification, nh at overstatement, metaphor, understatement, symbol, paradox, irony, and z z metonymy @ gm The writer of 20 short stories used simile as the most frequent figure of om l.c speech Overall, the writer uses simile to compare two things which have similar characteristics to give a better emotional intensity to the readers and an Lu imagine the scene in the story through the text briefly Another style of figure of speech that is also popular is personification, which gives human ability to n va c a th Stt.010.Mssv.BKD002ac.email.ninhd

of speech appear in the data with a quite modest number, they function as the tools to make the stories more interesting and vivid Allegory and apostrophe are not employed in the stories in question The second conclusion is about the function of these figures of speech It is concluded that each type of stylistic devices has its particular function Among the four ones: Affording imaginative pleasure, bringing an additional lu imagery, adding emotional intensity, and saying much in a brief compass an Simile and understatement function in both adding emotional intensity to the n va readers and saying much in a brief compass Meanwhile, metaphor functions tn to in bringing an additional imagery to the readers and adding emotional p ie gh intensity in the story Personification functions in affording imaginative pleasure and adding emotional intensity Overstatement/hyperbole, paradox d oa nl w and irony only has one function - adding emotional intensity to the readers Metonymy and synecdoche only function in saying much in a brief compass nv a lu Symbol also has only one function- bringing an additional imagery fu an From the results of the research, the use of figures of speech in short stories in question can influence readers' minds, cause them to enjoy, and ll oi m construct their imaginations In particular, personification is the figure of at nh speech that contributes the most numerous imaginative pleasures due to the its z nature Therefore, it can give the readers pleasure through imagination z @ In addition, the function of bringing additional imagery

the writers used some types of figures of speech, such as simile, metonymy, synecdoche, and understatement Simile is the most dominant type of figure of speech which functions to say something in a brief way 5.2 Implications This study contributes many values, bringing a great number of benefits lu to both teachers and learners an Firstly, the findings of the study have helped readers have a deeper n va insight into the contemporary short stories, and the hidden or connotative tn to meanings of the language of these stories have been revealed p ie gh Secondly, the research also cultivates knowledge about the field of literature, specifically the types of figures of speech Learners, especially d oa nl w students majoring in linguistics who are interested in stylistics, can use knowledge about figures of speech to analyze the literary works more nv a lu precisely In addition, the searched data will be a tool to support learners, fu an helping to enhance their ability to analyze and stimulate thinking This thesis will help learners improve their writing through the use of styles of figures of ll oi m speech They can be applied not only in learning but also in learners‟ daily at nh life communication z Last but not least, this study helps English teachers to learn and know z gm @ more about English stylistics in general and figures of speech in English contemporary short stories in particular Stylistic devices seem indispensable om l.c in daily use and in literature As a result, it is quite necessary for a teacher to master the knowledge that students can ask for The

space It requires the researcher to have full knowledge and support from the available data However, research conditions are still limited, so that there are some particular limitations in the study is unavoidable First of all, stylistics is classified into four categories which are lu definitely lexical categories, grammatical categories, cohesion and context, an figures of speech The scope of the thesis is only about figures of speech va n Another limitation is that the sample source for analysis are rather tn to limited The figures of speech are collected from only 20 English p ie gh contemporary short stories from 2000 to 2019 Therefore, data might not be abundant and adequate d oa nl w For these limitations, I am very interested in honest opinions, fair assessments on this thesis Through that, we can make it more validity and nv a lu reliability fu an 5.4 Recommendation for further study As clarified above, the research could not cover all of the dimensions of ll oi m stylistic devices Therefore, there remain certain appealing areas which can be at nh developed for further research and studies, as followed: z The future researcher is expected to develop this analysis with the z of movie, poem, and other literary works gm @ same theoretical framework on different genres which can vary in the forms om l.c It is also suggested that the future researcher conduct a research with other kinds of categories of stylistics, such as lexical deviation or grammatical an Lu deviation in English and Vietnamese literature n va c a th
