Abstract

A metaphor is a kind of figurative language. Songwriters use metaphors to facilitate listeners' comprehension of song lyrics' meanings. The objective of this study was to examine the kinds, meanings, and functions of metaphors in three chosen songs by Billie Eilish. The study was conducted using a descriptive qualitative technique. The study methodology was executed in three phases: data gathering techniques, data analysis techniques, and presentation strategies for the analysis outcomes. Data collection was conducted via non-participant methods and note-taking approaches. This study analyzes the lyrics of three selected Billie Eilish songs: "Wildflower," "What I Was Made For," and "Blue." The study identified four categories of metaphors in Billie Eilish's songs: animal metaphors, anthropomorphic metaphors, concrete-to-abstract metaphors, and synesthetic metaphors. The metaphorical use of Billie Eilish's song encompasses informational, emotive, and directive roles. The findings indicate that Billie Eilish's songs often serve as a medium to advocate for issues faced by women, including insecurity, envy, and romantic dilemmas.

Abstract

This study aims to find specific types of speech acts and their intended meanings in Sinners movie. The writer used a descriptive qualitative approach to conduct the research. The writer gathered data from a movie script which provided speech transcripts. Sinners is a 2025 American horror film produced, written, and directed by Ryan Coogler. From the analysis, the writer identified three different types of speech acts that the movie used. The data used Searle’s theory. They are the locutionary act, illocutionary act, and perlocutionary act. The writer also discovered that the illocutionary act can be grouped into five different types. They showed 4 assertive cases which most are affirming; 13 acts of directives including commanding and requesting; 8 commisives including promising, threatening, and vowing; 7 expressives, and 3 declarative ones are mainly used as statements. The most common kind of speech act is one where someone makes a direct statement to ask or to request, namely directives. Meanwhile, the most common type of illocutionary function the movie used is the promising function. From this study, we can see the different range of speech acts employed by the characters in Sinners and their impact on communication within the narrative.
