Abstract

This study aims to analyze the figurative language used in the Fiddlehead album Between the Richness. The album, known for its emotive and poetic lyrics, serves as a rich source for understanding how figurative language enhances the thematic depth of the songs. This research applies a qualitative approach to identify and categorize various types of figurative language. This research finds certain number of each type of figurative language. They are: 17 for metaphor, 7 for hyperbole, 1 for simile, 8 for imagery, 3 for paradox, 2 for oxymoron, 1 for alliteration, 1 for juxtaposition, 3 for Symbolism, 1 for synecdoche, 4 for personification, 2 for antithesis, and 2 for repetition. The most dominant type of figurative language used in the Fiddlehead song lyrics in the album Between the Richness is metaphor. The findings suggest that the use of figurative language not only intensifies the emotional impact of the music but also provides deeper insight into the experiences and perspectives shared in the album. This research highlights the role of figurative language in creating a more immersive and meaningful listening experience and offering a nuanced understanding of Fiddlehead's lyrical artistry.

Abstract

This paper investigated how episode titles in Breaking Bad (2008–2013) carried multiple interconnected meanings that influenced narrative interpretation. By applying a cognitive semantics framework, it explored how polysemous titles activated semantic networks and invited dynamic reinterpretation as the story unfolded. Using qualitative content analysis, four episodes—Pilot (S1E1), Cancer Man (S1E4), Crazy Handful of Nothin’ (S1E6), and I See You (S3E8)—were examined for literal and metaphorical layers of meaning. Findings revealed that titles functioned simultaneously as direct references (e.g., medical diagnosis, poker bluff, hospital surveillance) and as metaphorical devices (e.g., Walt as “pilot” of his destiny, cancer as moral decay, bluff as illusion of power, surveillance as vulnerability). Cognitive semantics explained how audiences process these layered meanings: viewers initially interpreted titles literally, but as narrative contexts evolved, they re-accessed metaphorical dimensions through semantic network activation. These layered meanings enriched character arcs, foreshadowed conflicts, and amplified thematic resonance, particularly in the exploration of morality, identity, and consequence. By highlighting polysemy as both a linguistic and cognitive-semantic device, this research contributed to television studies and linguistic analysis, offering new insights into how ambiguity in language deepened storytelling and sustained audience engagement across disciplines.
