Abstract

Syntax is crucial for understanding the structure of language, including verb phrases. While research into syntactic structures has been done in several texts, there is limited focus on modern song lyrics, particularly in the context of syntactic tree representation. This research looked into the syntactic patterns of verb phrases found in Olivia Rodrigo's song Traitor using the Chomsky Tree Diagram method. A qualitative descriptive approach classifies the verb phrase into intransitive, mono transitive, ditransitive, complex transitive, and intensive types. This research applies TGG to the data, comprising of the verb phrases extracted from the lyrics, which are illustrated as tree diagrams. The findings of this study have shown different forms of the structure of verb phrases and their hierarchical relationship existing within the lyrics. The given study contributes to the syntactic research by pointing out the importance of verb phrase analysis in modern textual forms.

Abstract

Understanding lexical meaning is essential in analyzing song lyrics, and metaphors often enrich that meaning. Although research such as Suprihatin (2019) has explored lexical and contextual meaning in song lyrics, and Ngailo, Suastini, and Pratiwi (2020) have analyzed figurative language in Billie Eilish’s songs, these studies do not specifically discuss how metaphors influence and expand lexical meaning to create emotional depth. Darmawan, Sanditari, and Fauziyah (2024) also focus on semantic meaning in Olivia Rodrigo’s songs, and Salsabila (2022) examines conceptual and associative meaning in Tulus lyrics, but does not explore the relationship between lexical meaning and metaphor. This research aims to fill this gap by investigating how metaphor influences lexical meaning in Billie Eilish’s “Wildflower”. Using a qualitative descriptive method with a semantic approach, this research analyzes the lexical meaning in song lyrics and identifies how metaphors expand the meaning of words. The findings suggest that Eilish uses metaphors to provide additional layers of meaning to her word choices, enriching themes of fragility, growth, and hidden beauty. In conclusion, the strategic use of metaphor enhances the lexical meaning of “Wildflowers”, which contributes to the emotional and artistic impact of the song.
