Poems.
Skripsi thesis, Fakultas Bahasa dan Seni.
Abstract
This research aimed to analyze the ambiguity found in T.S. Eliot’s poetry. This
research was focused on Eliot words such as “The Love Song of J.Alfred
Prufrock,” “The Hollow Men,” “Ash Wednesday,” “The Waste Land,” and
“Gerontion.” This research used qualitative descriptive methods to discuss the
ambiguity of analysis contained in T.S. Eliot’s poetry. The data was analyzed
using Katz’s (1971) theory of ambiguity. The result found ambiguity divided into
three types, namely structural, referential and lexical ambiguity. This research
identifies types of ambiguity in the data, then explains how ambiguity occurs in
the data. The research results show that lexical ambiguity frequently occurs in
T.S. Eliot’s poetry rather than structural and referential ambiguity. In this study,
phonetic ambiguity was not found in T.S. Eliot’s poems.
