This study aims to describe the use of dark-toned diction in the poetry collection Antologi Mimpi by Anna N. A. F. (2017). The study employs a qualitative descriptive method with a stylistic approach to examine the use of language in constructing meaning and aesthetic effects in poetry. The research data consist of quotations of words, phrases, and sentences containing dark-toned diction found in the poetry collection. Data were collected through intensive reading techniques and note-taking of diction that represents a gloomy emotional atmosphere. The data were analyzed using an interactive analysis technique, which includes data condensation, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that dark diction in Antologi Mimpi represents psychological human conditions, including helplessness, despair, and emotional entrapment caused by memories of past romantic relationships. The use of metaphors, symbols, and imagery associated with wounds, emptiness, and illusory hope strengthens the emotional intensity of the poems and enhances readers’ affective engagement. The findings confirm that diction in poetry functions not only as an aesthetic element but also as a medium for representing the poet’s inner experiences, which are universal in nature. Therefore, a stylistic analysis of dark diction can reveal the relationship between language choice, emotional expression, and meaning construction in literary works.

This study discusses how the relationship between humans and nature is represented in popular song lyrics through the perspective of Emerson's Transcendentalism. This study examines how song lyrics can represent alternative views of nature as personal and moral consciousness. This study is a literary critique that takes a mimetic and expressive approach, using comparative literature as an umbrella to compare the two objects of study. The objects of this study are the lyrics of the songs Colors of the Wind and Lihatlah Lebih Dekat, which are analyzed using Emerson's four functions of nature: Commodity, Beauty, Language, and Discipline. The results show that Colors of the Wind represents all four functions of nature, with an emphasis on criticism of the commodification of nature, colonialism, and moral learning through human-nature relations. Meanwhile, Lihatlah Lebih Dekat highlights the function of Language by describing nature as a symbolic medium that encourages reflection on nature. This difference shows that Transcendentalism is adaptable and remains relevant across language contexts, and can be used to read popular song lyrics as literary texts that represent individual awareness of nature.
