Abstract
This study aims at identifying and describing syntactic deviation found in the collection of poems written by Langston Hughes. The objectives of this study are to identify and describe (1) the types and (2) the author’s purposes wrote The Collected Poems of Langston Hughes using syntactic deviations. This study was a descriptive qualitative study with the researcher as the main instrument and the data sheet as the secondary instrument. The object of this research was the poetic utterances in the Collected Poems of Langston Hughes. The data were utterances in the form of phrases, clauses, and sentences containing syntactic deviations. In collecting the data, interpreting every sentence in the poem is the first thing to do. Then, the data were categorized and analyzed based on each category of types and functions of syntactic deviations. To enhance the trustworthiness of the data in this study, triangulations applied by asked the supervisors to check the data and two friends to review his study. The result of the research shows two important points. First, there are seven types of syntactic deviations; they are (1) multiple negation, (2) inversion, (3) subject displacement, (4) noun phrase displacement, (5) prepositional phrase displacement, (6) adjectival phrase displacement, and (7) adverb displacement. Second, there are seven purposes of the author wrote The Collected Poems of Langston Hughes using syntactic deviations. They are (1) to show jazz music that expresses sorrow and loneliness, (2) to portray American dream, (3) to show African-American’s struggle, (4) to depict racism in America, (5) to face difficulty wisely, (6) to show self-actualization, and (7) to show the other problems faced by African-American. As a result of types, multiple negation was the type which mostly appeared in Langston Hughes’ poems. It was proved that more than half of the findings of syntactic deviations belong to multiple negation categories. Hughes used more negations which gave more emphasis to the message without changing the structure of the sentence. As the result of functions, Langston Hughes talked more about the relationship problems than about the American Dream or racism in America at that time, for example, the relationship affair among African-Americans.
