Contoh Analysis Deixis
"HANYA ANJING YANG BOLEH KENCING DISINI"
The
statement “Hanya anjing yang boleh kencing disini” is written as a warning in
many places such as in the corner of someone’s house, in the walls, etc. As I
have ever heard, this warning is commonly found in Batak people’s surrounding.
Actually this statement has an interesting meaning for those who comprehend
what the hidden or the intended meaning behind this warning. In fact, an
interesting story usually came by the time someone started to write this
statement. As obviously seen that this place is a gate of one’s house and has
been a comfortable zone for anyone passing this way take a piss in the corner.
However, the owner of the house is being upset because of this case.
The
question is, does this statement work as a warning? Because there will be no dog
can read this warning, right! Can we imagine that dogs can read this warning?
Certainly there will be many dogs take a piss there. However, this statement is
clearly addressed to anyone who take place to take a piss in that corner.
Hopefully, the owner will not smell aroma of piss when he or she come out to
open the gate. In fact, this statement
does not work regarding the place where this statement posted is very strategic
for pisser.
In
my analysis using Deixis theory, similarly as I have explained ebove, “Hanya
anjing yang boleh kencing disini”, this warning obviously uses deixis partial
which refers to point out a place. The word “Disini” in the picture is telling
us about the exact place where the statement prohibit people to not piss there.
This kind of deixis is used for communication between the writer and the reader
through a written expression. The writers’ imply is to send a message that
prohibit anyone to not piss in his place anymore. Although, the writer wrote
“Disini” which directly goes to the place where people often do pissing, on the
next day, it is possible that the pissers (tukang kencing) will piss again by
just moving beside the word “Disini” itself, because the word “disini” only
refers to the exact place where it is mentioned or where it is written. It
seems that this warning will never work as long as this written expression has
no mark to enlarge the area of the word “disini” refers to from where and until
where. In addition, a written expression is totally different with spoken
expression when you use deixis place to communicate. When you say the word “disini”
you can say it while you are moving around and it refers to anywhere around
you, or in other words ‘it follows you’. While, when you use deixis place in
written expression, clearly, you cannot change the statement position, and the
word “disini only refers to the exact place in which the statement is written
or posted.
