Fikiran dan interpretan dalam Bahtera Madani

Abstract

This article explains the available nature of interpretants derived from the structural organization of poems in Bahtera Madani, an anthology by A. Aziz Deraman, the poet. The author tries to show how interrelated factors are gathered to contribute to the possible realization of poetic realm in terms of cultural appearances on the face and heart of the message as intended by the poet. The factors may include the concepts of idea and though as the basis for interpreting the cultural philosophy that lies beneath the surface structures of poetry, the function of sign in the signification of human actions and realities as interpreted by their semantic and pragmatic relations through structural sequences of words in poetry as well as the knowledge of culture possessed by the reader about the same culture understood by the poet. This endeavor will prove an intended study of meaning among and beneath other meanings in poetry.
