Interpretasi teks: subjektiviti berbanding dengan objektiviti

Abstract

Matters of subjectivity and objectivity have become a prime concern in texts analysis, particularly poetry. On one hand, stylisticians claim that texts analysing should be objective, in order to emphasize the contrast between stylistics and its precusor. literary criticism (Thorndorrow & Wareing, 1998: 4-5). On the other hand, literary critics believe that the study of literary texts is influenced by subjectivity, thus objectivity is almost impossible to achieve. The questions of both these aspects, thus need to be further discussed, so that one can understand them better, since each party (i.e., literary critics, linguistics and stylistics) uses similar texts - literary texts. Thus, the fundamental aim of this paper is to focus on the questions of interpretation, subjectivity and objectivity in terms of stylistics analysis.
