Abstract

This study aims to find the variation of interjection forms in Indonesian pre-independence novels and Indonesian post-independence novels. This type of research is qualitative research with descriptive qualitative method. The research sample was selected by purposive sampling technique. The data collection procedure used literature review, listening method, note-taking technique, and reflective-introspective. The data analysis model used is the interactive model. The results of this study found that the form of interjections in pre-independence Indonesian novels is still very limited in its use in the form of basic interjections to express psychological feelings, such as hi, ih, cih, oh, ai, ah, o, eh, nah, wah, and others. In addition, interjections in pre-independence novels are still influenced by the expression of feelings in Malay, for example the forms amboi, wahai, nian, aduhai, and aduh. Meanwhile, post-independence Indonesian novels are no longer influenced by Malay interjection forms and have more constructive, expressive and varied forms. For example, in basic interjections, the forms: wow, hey, you know, you know why, okay, yah, in addition to continuing to use the basic interjection forms that were commonly used in the pre-independence period. The post-independence novels contain many forms of interjections constructed by the author to produce certain psychological effects, such as bangsat, dog, curse, pig, crocodile, monkey, taik and others. Then, there are also elements of absorption to express feelings according to the purpose of the form, such as Insya Allah, Masha Allah, Alhamdulillah, Amin, good luck, please, please dong, waffaqakumullah, Subhanallah, and Astagfirullah.
