In this blog I will discuss figure of speech in "A Whole New World"
Theory
Definition of Figure of Speech
In Indonesia, Figure of Speech is often defined as the use and use of language and body to have certain effects on readers that tend to affect the reader's emotions. It is a beautiful language that reinforces sentence structure to convey an imaginative impression or to give a certain impression to readers and listeners.
Basically, figure of speech in English and Indonesian have similarities because the function of the figure of speech itself is to perfect the structure of the sentence so that it has an imaginative and emotional impression for readers and listeners. Even some figure of speech in Indonesian is adapted from the figure of speech in English.
Types and examples of Figure of speech
1. Idiomatic
Maybe some of us are familiar with several terms such as golden voice, loan shark, puffed up, discouraged, and others. These terms are examples of idioms or in English it is also called Idomatic Phrase. From this example, we can explain that idioms are combinations of words that have a meaning that is not the true meaning of the words.
The meaning of words from idioms cannot be interpreted by translating the elements of the words. Even in some situations, idiomatic terms can only be understood by certain groups. Its use in English can be exemplified as follows.
- This letter have seen better days and unreadable
- I say it from the bottom of my heart
2. Alliteration
Alliteration is a repetition of words in a consonant sound in the first letter of at least two words and phrases on one line. The term alliteration itself comes from Latin which means putting the letters together. An example of an English alliteration figure is as follows.
- Come see softer side of Sears
- In Philadelphia, people can pay a parking ticket by phone
3. Onomatopoeia
In everyday interactions, we may have imitated sounds from animals or other objects to help explain understanding to our interlocutors. This in English literature is called Onomatopoeia. So the definition of Onomatopoeia is a word that imitates, resembles, or shows the sound source of the object to be conveyed. The name of the object is usually derived from the sound associated with the object. An example of Onomatopoeia can be obtained from the following fragment of poetry by Lee Emmet from Australia.
- “whoosh, passing breeze”
- “flags flutter and flap”
- “frog croaks, bird whistles”
- “babbling bubbles from tap”
4. Personification
In Indonesian, the personification figure of speech has a characteristic that is used to turn on inanimate objects. Likewise in English, personification is used to bring an inanimate object to life as if doing something like a living thing. An example of personification in :
- English is as follows.
- I see the moon follow me wherever I go
- He did not realize that opportunity was knocking on his door
In the first sentence the moon is depicted as living and continuing to follow wherever it goes. Likewise with the second sentence which assumes as if the opportunity is alive and comes knocking on the door.
5. Cliche
Have we ever heard some of the terms or slogans that appear in the mass media and electronics? So the terms and slogans are included in the cliche figure of speech. Cliche is a collection of various words in sentences and phrases that are often spoken so that these terms become common. Usually the words in a cliche are said by people who are famous or most influential. An example of a cliche in English is as follows.
- No pain, no gain
- Practice makes perfect
6. Simile
Simile language found in Indonesian is almost the same as that used in English, usually used to compare something that is attached to the subject with objects that have certain characteristics. An example of a simile figure is as follows.
- His heart is as hard as a rock
- Her hope is like a candle in the dark
7. Metaphor
Metaphore or in Indonesian is often called Majas Metaphor is a figure of speech which is often used to compare something. This language is almost the same as simile, the difference is that simile uses conjunctions such as "like", "as", "such as", "as if" but the metaphore does not use conjunctions. An example of a metaphore is as follows.
- He is feeling blue after his father passed away
- My mother is the light of my life
8. Hyperbole
Hyperbole is a figure of speech that is often used to create emphasis effects by using excessive, strong, and repetitive words. As in other sentence connotations, hyperbole can have positive or negative meanings. An example of a hyperbole in English is as follows.
- It was cold, I saw polar bears wearing jackets
- I have told you a thousand times

A Whole New World - Aladdin
Shining, shimmering, splendid
Tell me, princess, now when did
You last let your heart decide?
I can open your eyes
Take you wonder by wonder
Over, sideways and under
On a magic carpet ride
A new fantastic point of view
No one to tell us, "No"
Or where to go
Or say we're only dreaming
A whole new world
A dazzling place I never knew
But when I'm way up here
It's crystal clear
That now I'm in a whole new world with you
(Now I'm in a whole new world with you)
Indescribable feeling
Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling
Through an endless diamond sky
A hundred thousand things to see (hold your breath, it gets better)
I'm like a shooting star, I've come so far
I can't go back to where I used to be
A whole new world
With new horizons to pursue
I'll chase them anywhere
There's time to spare
Let me share this whole new world with you
A new fantastic point of view
No one to tell us, "No"
Or where to go
Or say we're only dreaming
A whole new world (every turn, a surprise)
With new horizons to pursue (every moment, red-letter)
I'll chase them anywhere, there's time to spare
And then we're home (there's time to spare)
Let me share this whole new world with you
That's where we'll be (that's where we'll be)
A thrilling chase (a wondrous place)
For you and me
