<![CDATA[This study looks at the way language is used in the lyrics of Lana Del Rey's song "Cinnamon Girl" using Martin Joos' (1967) theory of language styles, seen through the lens of sociolinguistics. So far, most research on Lana Del Rey's songs has looked at things like metaphors, symbols, and the meanings behind the words. But not much has been written about how her language style works as a social and linguistic thing. This study aims to address this gap by looking at how different ways of using language help express feelings and build connections between people in modern song lyrics. This study used a descriptive qualitative research method and focused on library-based research. The main data came from the official lyrics of "Cinnamon Girl," and the secondary data were collected from books, journal articles, and earlier research related to sociolinguistics and language style. The data were analyzed using an interactive model suggested by Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña in 2020.This process involved collecting the data, reducing it to its key points, presenting it in a clear way, and then drawing conclusions and checking them again. The study found thirteen examples of language styles, which were divided into three categories: Intimate Style, Casual Style, and Consultative Style. The Intimate Style was most common, appearing six times (46.15%), then Casual Style came next with four times (30.77%), and Consultative Style had three occurrences (23.08%). No examples of Frozen Style or Formal Style were found because the lyrics mostly show personal, emotional, and conversational talk. The results show that the way people speak is not just about language differences but also helps them show their feelings, build connections with others, and share their inner experiences. This study helps sociolinguistic research by showing how Martin Joos' theory can be used to look at modern song lyrics.It also gives a better understanding of how the way people speak, their emotions, and how they interact with others are connected in popular music.]]>
