Abstract

This research examines the speech functions present in the lyrics of Maher Zain's song "Free Palestine," which was recently released in June 2024. The song was selected because its lyrics serve not only as entertainment but also as a means to convey important messages, raise awareness, and foster empathy for current humanitarian issues. The primary objective of this study is to investigate how speech functions are realized in the lyrics of "Free Palestine" through discourse analysis. The research employs a qualitative approach. The data were analyzed focusing on speech functions. The data analysis process involved several steps, namely: initially identifying the lyrics, segmenting the lyrics into clauses, analyzing the clauses in terms of its function, determining the Mood types based on their grammatical structures (Declarative, Interrogative, Imperative, and Exclamative), and identifying speech functions, and drawing conclusions. The results revealed there were three types of Mood: Declarative, Interrogative, and Imperative. Declarative statement was predominant in the song, comprising 73.68% of the total analyzed clauses.

Abstract

This study examines the discourse structure and interpersonal meaning in selected dialogues from The Old Man and the Sea, with a focus on moves and speech functions. Using a qualitative descriptive method, it applies Halliday’s moves and speech functions analysis to explore how grammatical forms, interrogatives, declaratives, and imperatives, perform pragmatic and interpersonal functions beyond their literal meanings. The analysis reveals a predominance of ‘k’ type moves or information exchange, including k2, k1, k1f, and k2f, over ‘a’ type moves or offers of service, which appear as a1, a1f, and a1. Declarative clauses are the most frequently used, encompassing structures such as RSQ, S, RRSQ, and AS. The findings highlight dynamic exchanges of knowledge and action, showing how dialogue advances the narrative and develops character relationships. Despite their brevity, Hemingway’s dialogues convey complex meanings, reflecting authentic interaction and his minimalist style. The study underscores the dual function of literary dialogue as a vehicle for both storytelling and social interaction.

Abstract

This study investigates the speech functions found in the lyrics of “Blue” by Yung Kai. The song was selected for its expressive language in portraying longing, imagined affection, and emotional vulnerability. The aim of this study is to examine how interpersonal meaning is conveyed through the use of speech functions. Using a qualitative descriptive method, this research applies discourse analysis based on Halliday’s theory. The lyrics were segmented into clauses and analyzed to identify the types of mood (declarative, interrogative, imperative) and their corresponding speech functions (statement, question, offer, command). The results show that statements are the most frequently used, serving to express emotions, beliefs, and personal commitment. Questions represent uncertainty and longing, while offers and commands indicate emotional closeness and desire. The study concludes that beyond entertainment, the song functions as a medium for expressing deep emotional experiences. This highlights the role of song lyrics as a form of interpersonal communication and emotional expression in contemporary music.
