I.INTRODUCTION

               The most important areas in linguistics are synonymy, antonymy and hyponimy,etc. Contradiction of meaning or antonym,

one of the areas that have long been important as human thought and language are closely related.Lyons (1968) say that "humans have a general tendency to polarize experience and research for opposite thinking".

               Antonymy is very useful as one relationship in semantics. Antonimy are words that have contradictory meanings in various word sequences in whole or whole words.For example, soft x hard, down x ride, poor x rich, hell x heaven, female x male, bottom x top. The definition of antonym is derived from "ancient Greek" ie "onoma which means 'name' and anti which means 'to resist'. "For example the word 'bad' anonymous with the word 'nice', the word 'small' anonymous with the word 'big' .Such as synonyms, antonyms are owned at all sentence levels: word level, morpheme level, phrase level, and language level.

antonyms are very contrary to the meaning of other words.
thus, its widespread application, which cancels its amplication.

 We can clearly see two words that make antonyms and their spouses the same but contrary to meaning.
That is not a widely different antonymy and its application.

II.METHODOLOGY RESEARCH

Definition qualitative by experts:

a) Meleong, defines that “qualitative research is a scientific research, which aims to understand a phenomenon in a natural social context by emphasizing the process of deep communication interaction between researchers with the phenomenon studied (Herdiansyah, 2010: 9)”.

b) Qualitative research is” a research used to investigate, discover, describe, and explain the quality or privilege of unexplained social influence, measured or illustrated by quantitative approach (Saryono, 2010: 1)”.

c) Sugiyono (2011: 15), concluded that” the method of skin research is a method of research based on philosophy of postpositivism, used to examine the condition of natural objects, (as opposed to experiments) where the researchers are as key instrument, the sampling of data sources is done purposively and snowbaal, collecting techniques with triangulation (combined), data analysis is inductive / qualitative, and qualitative research results more emphasis on the meaning of the generalization.

III.RESULT

Antonimy is having words whose meaning contradicts one another. Antonim is often referred to as the opposite of the word.The use of the word antonym is widely used in everyday life, one of them in the novel. Antonim has several types, namely:

1.    Antonim in Pairs

The twin antimony is an antonym that uses resistance between two words.

For example: a dead word opposite to life.

2.     Antonim Compound

The plural antonyms are antonyms that use many words.

 For example: the sentence of the house is green in contrast to the house is red.

3.    Antonim Gradual

The gradual Antonim is an antonym that has a degree of resistance.

For example: simple house x luxury homes.

4.    The hierarchical hierarchy is the antonym that the resistance says in a storied position. For example: May x June.

5.    Relational Antenna

The relational Antonim is the second antonym that he says is intertwined.

An example is the word wife and husband.

Verhaar in Padeta (2001) says that "distinguishes antonyms based on the system as follows.

1.Antonim antarkalimat,

 example: he is sick and he does not hurt.

2.Antonim antarfrasa,

example: regularly and irregularly.

3.Antonim antarkata,

 for example: eating and drinking. "

               According to Vehaar and Chaer (2009), "Antonymy is an expression (usually a word, but can also be in the form of a phrase or phrase) whose meaning is considered the opposite of the meaning of another expression,

 for example, good word anonymously with bad words, small words, and the word buy anonymously with the word sell.

The relationship of meaning between two words that berantonim is two-way ".
