Abstract

This research aims to describe Dian Purnomo’s writing style in the Novel Perempuan yang Menangis kepada Bulan Hitam (PMBH). The authorship style is seen from two aspects, namely linguistic and semiotic aspects. In the linguistic aspect, diction, grammatical, imaging, and expression are studied; while in the semiotic aspect, the symbols of violence against women are studied in the novel PMBH. Data were analyzed using stylistic and semiotic approaches. The results showed that Dian Purnomo’s authorship style in the novel PMBH based on the linguistic aspect was proletarian fiction (Social Protest Fiction). This can be seen from the choice of diction using local variety, a grammatical arrangement using comparison patterns, the dominant imagery is visual imagery, and figurative speech is satire. Based on the semiotic aspect, there are three forms of symbols of sexual violence against women in the novel PMBH, namely verbal, physical, and mental violence. From the results of the research, it was concluded that Dian Purnomo’s style of protest in the novel PMBH was to convey gender inequality and injustice experienced by women in Sumbanese customs. Many women experience sexual violence in their families and communities and become victims of violence in the “marriage and capture” tradition.
