Abstract

This research analyzes the use of figurative language in the lyrics of the song “Let It Go” by Idina Menzel, which is widely known as a theme song of Disney’s “Frozen”. The study aims to identify and classify various types of figurative language, such as metaphor, simile, personification, hyperbole, idiom, alliteration, and symbolic expressions, and interpret their meanings using a qualitative descriptive approach. Drawing on Ferdinand de Saussure’s semiotic theory, the research decodes the song’s linguistic signs (signifier and signified) to explore how language shapes meaning, emotion, and imagery in the lyrics. The findings show that the lyrics are rich in figurative expressions that represent Queen Elsa’s inner transformation, emotional struggles, and the symbolism of freedom and empowerment. Hyperboles and personifications are used to enhance the imagery of Elsa’s magical powers, while similes and metaphors illustrate emotional depth and resilience. The study concludes that figurative language in “Let It Go” not only adds aesthetic value but also serves as a powerful medium to convey character development and thematic elements such as identity, self-acceptance, and liberation. This research highlights the importance of understanding figurative language in songs to grasp deeper meanings and emotional nuances.

The results showed that all data, namely Subject A1 to Subject D1, had both types of pauses based on Fromkin's theory, namely silent pauses and filled pauses. While there are only 3 out of 6 types of tongue slips based on Dardjowidjojo theory, there are anticipation, transposition, and perseveration. While there is no slip of the tongue for the types of blend, malapropism, and substitution. In this research, speech errors such as pauses and slips of the tongue were caused by fatigue, a focus on accents, not mastering the material or vocabulary, nervousness, rushed, and the habit of saying the words “eee” and “aaa”. This finding also expects other researchers to further analyze psycholinguistics so as to minimize other speech errors.

Abstract

Abstract is This study used a qualitative approach and descriptive-qualitative method to examine code-mixing and code-switching among sixth-semester students in the English Education Program at Mathla'ul Anwar University Banten during the 2022-2023 academic year. Five microteaching videos were analyzed. Data were collected through observation, documentation, and checklists. The study found that Subjects A to E used three types of code-mixing according to Hoofman’s theory: intra-sentential, intra-lexical, and mixing involving pronunciation changes. Based on Poplack’s theory, the types of code-switching observed were tag-switching, inter-sentential switching, and intra-sentential switching. Subject A showed the highest frequency of code-mixing with 30 instances (26 intra-sentential and 4 intra-lexical) and the highest frequency of code-switching with 30 instances (1 tag-switching, 14 inter-sentential, and 15 intra-sentential). Code-mixing and code-switching were influenced by bilingual or multilingual abilities, the need to fit social or situational contexts, and specific communication needs. The study suggested further research in sociolinguistics to better understand these phenomenon. The researcher hoped the findings would be useful for readers, students, and researcher interested in code-mixing and code-switching. Keywords: Code Mixing, Code Switching and Sociolinguistics
