There remains to be a scarcity of pragmatic studies that rely on analysis tools in the literary dimension. It is also deemed not too important to relate the linguistics field to understanding the beauty and metaphoric meanings in the literature. This study describes the metaphors in emotive phrases from a pragmatic stylistic standpoint and their pragmatic connotations. This study identified symbolic utterances of a novel's emotive terms. Thus, this study relied on novel excerpts with metaphorical emotive word meanings. Sindhunata's Gramedia Pustaka Utama book Anak Bajang Menggiring Angin provided source data. The data were collected by observation and then analyzed using distributional analysis. The extralinguistic dimensions of this study were analyzed via a contextual method, especially the extra-lingual equivalent method. This study found anthropomorphic, abstract, and animal imagery analogies. The collected data shows that metaphors have four pragmatic meanings: connotative, emotive, introspective, and collocative. Understanding these meanings is not just confined to a purely literary perspective, as literature and language are like two-sided coins; one field cannot be separated from the other. So, there will be more literary studies with an interdisciplinary perspective on literature and linguistics in the future.
