Abstract

This study investigates the use of figures of speech and diction in the lyrics of “Stecu Stecu” by Faris Adam as a widespread, popular, and distinctive lyrical style that reflects emotional expression and cultural identity, using a stylistic approach. The study aims to identify the types of figures of speech used in the lyrics, analyze the forms and functions of diction, and examine how these stylistic elements contribute to the construction of meaning and cultural representation. This research employed a descriptive qualitative method using content analysis techniques. The data consisted of words, phrases, and expressions from the song lyrics, which were analyzed using stylistic theory. The analysis focused on identifying figurative language, examining diction, and interpreting the cultural meanings embedded in the lyrics. The findings reveal that the lyrics employ several dominant figures of speech, including metaphor, hyperbole, personification, and repetition, which serve to heighten emotional intensity and aesthetic expression. In addition, the song's diction features colloquial and regional expressions associated with Ambonese and Maluku cultural identity. These linguistic choices create authenticity, emotional closeness, and cultural representation within the lyrics. The study also found that figures of speech and diction work synergistically in conveying social values, emotional experiences, and local cultural perspectives. Overall, the findings indicate that contemporary popular songs can function not only as entertainment but also as literary and cultural texts rich in stylistic and sociocultural meaning. This study contributes to stylistic research by highlighting the relationship between figurative language, diction, and cultural representation in Indonesian popular music.

Abstract

This study examines the construction of authoritarianism in J.S. Khairen’s Bungkam Suara through Antonio Gramsci’s theory of hegemony. Positioned within contemporary literary criticism and political fiction studies, the research investigates how the novel represents ideological domination, surveillance culture, and democratic paradoxes through literary discourse and narrative strategies. Employing a qualitative literary discourse analysis, the study analyzes characterization, dialogue, narrative atmosphere, and symbolic representations to identify hegemonic mechanisms embedded in the text. The findings reveal that authoritarianism functions as the dominant ideology in the novel through surveillance systems, political propaganda, and the normalization of obedience. Capitalism, feudalism, socialism, and humanism also emerge as competing ideological formations that shape the narrative conflict. Drawing upon international scholarship in literary criticism, discourse studies, and postcolonial political fiction, this article argues that Bungkam Suara constructs authoritarianism not merely through political themes but through literary discourse that disciplines public consciousness and regulates social behavior. The study contributes to English literary scholarship by positioning contemporary Indonesian political fiction within broader discussions of dystopian narrative, ideological discourse, and authoritarian democracy in global literature.
