Abstract

This study discusses the types and meaning of onomatopoeias found in
Donald Duck (2005) comic. In collecting the data, the writer used
observational method and note taking technique (Sudaryanto, 1993). In
analyzing the data, referential identity method (Sudaryanto, 1993) is applied.
The types are analyzed by referring to Ullman’s (1962). The meanings are
analyzed and strengthened by using the lexical meaning (Lyon, 1995) and
contextual meaning (Ullmann, 1962) theories. The results show that there are
two types of onomatopoeias found in the comic, the primary and secondary
onomatopoeias. The primary onomatopoeia is the direct imitation of a sound
produced by an object while secondary onomatopoeia comes from the sound
combination produced by the specific characteristic of an object and its
movement. In addition, the meanings of onomatopoeias derive from the
lexical and contextual meanings. The lexical meaning refers to the dictionary
meaning and the contextual refers to the context of an onomatopoeia in the
comic line. From 15 data, the dominant type found is the secondary
onomatopoeia
