Abstract

This study analyzes slang variation and emotional expression in selected song lyrics by Billie Eilish using sociolinguistic and pragmatic approaches. Previous studies have generally examined slang usage and emotional expression separately, with limited attention to how slang contributes to emotional meaning construction in contemporary popular music. This study addresses that gap by investigating the relationship between slang variation, emotional expression, and identity representation in Billie Eilish’s lyrics. The study also contributes theoretically by integrating sociolinguistic theories of slang with pragmatic analysis of emotional meaning. This research employs a qualitative descriptive method with data collected from nine selected songs: “Bad Guy,” “Bury a Friend,” “Therefore I Am,” “Lost Cause,” “Your Power,” “Happier Than Ever,” “My Strange Addiction,” “idontwannabeyouanymore,” and “Six Feet Under.” The findings reveal three types of slang: General Slang (45%), Creative Slang (32.5%), and Group Slang (22.5%). General Slang is dominant because it creates conversational authenticity and emotional closeness with listeners. The emotional expressions identified include sadness (30%), anger (22.5%), fear or anxiety (17.5%), frustration (12.5%), insecurity (7.5%), emotional vulnerability (5%), and confidence or rebellion (5%). The findings demonstrate that slang functions not only as informal language but also as a sociolinguistic and pragmatic strategy for intensifying emotional meaning, expressing identity, and representing youth culture in contemporary song lyrics.

Abstract

This study discusses foregrounding in expressing melancholy and nostalgia in Lana Del Rey’s song lyrics. Although many studies have analyzed figurative language in song lyrics, few have focused on foregrounding as the main analytical framework. This study aims to identify the forms and functions of foregrounding in the songs The Greatest and Happiness Is a Butterfly. This research applies a descriptive qualitative method based on Geoffrey Leech’s (1969) theory of foregrounding. The findings show that foregrounding is realized through semantic deviation and parallelism. Semantic deviation appears through figurative expressions and is more dominant, functioning to construct melancholy, while parallelism appears through repetition and functions to construct nostalgia. In conclusion, this study shows that foregrounding plays an important role in expressing emotional meanings in song lyrics through non-literal and patterned language. This study contributes to stylistic analysis by explaining how linguistic features construct emotional meaning in contemporary song lyrics.

Abstract

Language style and emotional expression play significant roles in human communication because they reflect social relationships, communicative purposes, and psychological conditions. In sociolinguistics, language variation is influenced by social contexts and interactions among speakers. This study aims to analyze the types of language styles used by Christy Beam in Miracles from Heaven (2016) and to identify the emotional expressions reflected in her dialogues. The study focuses on the relationship between language style and emotional expression as represented through the main character’s interactions with family members, doctors, and other individuals. This research employed a descriptive qualitative method. The data source was the movie Miracles from Heaven, directed by Patricia Riggen, while the data consisted of Christy Beam’s dialogues. Data were collected through repeated observation, transcription, classification, and interpretation based on Martin Joos’ theory of language styles and theories of emotional expression. The findings reveal that all five language styles proposed by Joos were present in the movie, namely frozen, formal, consultative, casual, and intimate styles. Consultative, casual, and intimate styles were the most dominant, each accounting for 26.67% of the total data. Furthermore, six types of emotional expressions were identified: anxiety, love/affection, anger, fear, happiness, and sadness. Anxiety emerged as the most dominant emotional expression, representing 33.97% of the data. The findings indicate that Christy Beam’s language choices are strongly influenced by social relationships, communication settings, and interaction purposes, while her emotional expressions reflect her psychological experiences as a mother struggling to support her daughter through a serious illness.
