Harun, M.Pd. and Dr. Dra. Rostina Taib, M.Hum. This study aims to describe the use of diction and figurative language in the novel Inyik Balang by Andre Setiawan. This study employed a qualitative approach using a descriptive method. The subject of this study was the novel Inyik Balang by Andre Setiawan, published in (2024). The data consisted of words, phrases, clauses, and sentences containing the use of diction and figurative language. The data were collected through reading and note-taking techniques. The data were analyzed using qualitative data analysis through the stages of identifying, classifying, analyzing, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study show that the novel Inyik Balang contains a total of two hundred and nine instances of diction and figurative language, consisting of twelve instances of general diction, including prophets, holy people, airplanes, groups, and awak samo awak, which originates from the Minangkabau language, as well as twenty instances of specific diction, including white tiger, ketapang tree trunk, and dry leaves. This study also found sixty instances of simile, for example like a fawn released into the forest; sixty-six instances of metaphor, such as words of wisdom, a thorn in the flesh, and the minefield of love; four instances of synecdoche, including before their eyes, his presence, and face to face; forty-three instances of personification, for example the waves threw themselves, the gentle wind knocked repeatedly, and curiosity dragged his body; and four instances of irony, one of which is Mr. Happy. The use of diction and figurative language in the novel contributes to clarifying the portrayal of characters, events, settings, and atmosphere, while strengthening the expression of meaning and providing aesthetic value in constructing the story.
