Abstract

This research was written in order to analyze the lyrics of a song by American rock band Incubus. The purpose of this research is to discover what types of metaphors are present in the lyrics of the song, and how metaphors are used by songwriters to structure their lyrics and to give meaning in their worldplay. Previous research on this topic has primarily concentrated on categorising types of figurative language, with insufficient emphasis on the role of metaphor as a cognitive mechanism for representing emotion. To solve this, the research will focus on analysis of metaphor in use as a cognitive tool with Conceptual Metaphor theory as a framework for analysis.This study utilises a qualitative descriptive methodology, employing the official lyrics as data. Metaphorical expressions are discerned and examined through the mapping of source domains (concrete metaphors) onto target domains (abstract metaphors), succeeded by cognitive interpretation. There are two subjects used in this research. The first subject is a song by Incubus which is Dig from their 2006 album Light grenades. The second subject is George Lakoff and Mark Johnson's (1980) Conceptual Metaphor Theory within a cognitive stylistic framework. The results show 16 metaphorical expressions, which can be divided into three groups: structural (37.5%), orientational (31.25%), and ontological (31.25%). Structural metaphors are the most common. Thus it can be argued that the usage of structural metaphors reflects a tendency to relate abstract things in terms of concrete things like physical actions and processes. Orientational and ontological metaphors depict emotional states through spatial and entity-centric mappings. The study concludes that metaphor serves beyond a mere linguistic tool and is a cognitive mechanism that facilitates the comprehension of intricate emotional experiences through embodied and relatable constructs.Keywords: Metaphor, Cognitive stylistics, Emotional expression, Song lyrics, Conceptual Metaphor Theory

Abstract

Lirik lagu dapat dianalisis melalui dinamika wacana, namun hubungan antara pengalaman emosional dan agensi dalam album lirik R&B kontemporer masih belum banyak dibahas dalam penelitian Linguistik Fungsional Sistemik (Systemic Functional Linguistics/SFL). Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menerapkan sistem transitivitas sebagaimana dikemukakan oleh Halliday (1994) dalam menganalisis emosi dan agensi yang direpresentasikan oleh SZA dalam enam lagu dari album SOS, yaitu Kill Bill, Snooze, Good Days, Nobody Gets Me, I Hate U, dan Shirt. Untuk mencapai tujuan tersebut, penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan deskriptif kualitatif yang didasarkan pada prinsip-prinsip tata bahasa fungsional yang dikemukakan oleh Halliday (1994) serta Gerot dan Wignell (1994). Korpus penelitian berupa lirik lagu yang diambil dari Genius dengan total 164 klausa. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa proses mental mendominasi data dengan persentase 31,7%, diikuti oleh proses material (29,9%), relasional (22,0%), verbal (7,9%), perilaku (4,9%), dan eksistensial (3,7%). Tingginya frekuensi proses mental dan material menjadikan album SOS berbeda dari korpus lirik lagu lainnya serta mencerminkan adanya konflik antara pengalaman emosional dan agensi yang diperdebatkan. Selain itu, konstruksi identitas yang diwujudkan melalui penggunaan proses relasional menunjukkan bahwa penutur memiliki karakter yang berorientasi pada hubungan interpersonal.
