Abstract

Taylor Swift is an American singer who released the album Lover in 2019. In the album, there are songs titled "Death by Thousand Cuts" and "False God" whose lyrics tell about her love story. In this study, the researcher tries to reveal the meaning of the lyrics of the two songs with metaphors. Metaphors are often used in songwriting to implicitly convey meaning. Taylor Swift, who has always been known for her incredible lyrics, is no exception. The method used in this study is descriptive qualitative with a metaphorical approach according to Ullman and Leech. The result obtained is that the two songs have the same number of metaphors. The song “Death by Thousand Cuts” has 6 metaphors out of 16 lines of lyrics, and the song “False God” has 6 metaphors out of 15 lines of lyrics. Then the metaphor with the highest number according to the data analysis is the type of metaphor from concrete to abstract with a total of 5. From the results of the analysis of the two songs, it proves that the role of metaphor in a song can help listeners understand meaning and feelings in depth. By using concrete to abstract metaphors, Taylor Swift tries to tell a clear story to listeners through her songs.

Abstract

Language style is a variety of language caused by differences in language situations or differences in the relationship between the speaker (writer) and listener (reader) (Joos, 1976). The purposes of this research are: 1) to identify the types of language styles used in The Jakarta Post headlines about COVID-19 and 2) to analyze the function of language styles in The Jakarta Post headlines about COVID-19. This research was analyzed using Joos's theory as the basis of analysis. Joos (1976) said that there are five types of language styles; 1) frozen style, 2) formal style, 3) consultative style, 4) casual style, and, 5) intimate style. The object used in this research is from The Jakarta Post newspaper. The researcher uses a qualitative case study to analyze this study. The steps of analyzing data are determining the criteria of each category, matching each data which fits the types of language styles, and describing the function of language styles in The Jakarta Post headlines. Based on the result of the analysis, the researcher found 108 data on the types of language styles, there are 8 data of frozen style and 100 data of formal style. In addition, the researcher takes 20 pieces of data to describe the function of language style in The Jakarta Post headlines about COVID-19. This research concludes that The Jakarta Post headlines dominate with formal style and frozen style in conveying the topic. Because, the topic of Covid-19 is talking about serious things, therefore using the frozen and formal styles is more suitable than the other styles.

Abstract

The research aims to comprehend the use of deictic expressions in Jacinda Ardern’s speech and identify the potential use of the deictic expressions in the EFL context. The present study was conducted qualitatively. The researchers identified the sources of data manually. They further identified the data sources by watching the YouTube channel containing the speech performed by Jacinda, who was once a newly elected prime minister. The findings indicated that the person’s deixis is the most frequently used in her speech. For example, ‘we’ is the most frequent pronoun to indicate the sense of togetherness between the speaker and her audience. In terms of the application of personal deixis in the pedagogical context, it can also be found that the use of personal deixis belongs to the most frequently used deictic expression by teachers. Despite its importance, the use of personal pronouns in English learning process can pose a persistent problem to non-native English learners, as English is known as the language which emphasizes the harmony between subject and verb. The researchers suggest that the teaching of pronouns be conducted in more contextually meaningful approaches. Keywords: Jacinda Ardern, Speech, Linguistic, Pedagogy
