Abstract

This scientific writing is categorized as a literature that discusses figurative language in advertisements, particularly used in Visitor’s Guide to Bali that is one of the tourism elements or facilities in Bali. The title of this paper is “Kinds of Figurative Language Found in Printed Advertisement.” In analyzing the figurative languages in these advertisements, I applied the theory from L. Larson in his book entitled Meaning-Based Translation as the main theory and as the supporting theories, I took the theories from a book entitled Matriculation English Course written by Neisfield and David Nunan in his book entitled Discourse Analysis. In this theory, I also found a lot of discussions discussing figurative language. Some other supporting books that relevant to the topic are also used to assist the analysis. The method of analyzing the data is a library research in which the data were taken from the text advertisements of Visitor’s Guide to Bali Advertisement.
