Abstract

This research examines the use and significance of metaphors in the lyrics of James Arthur's songs. The research aims to identify and categorize the types of metaphors used and to interpret their meanings within the context of the songs. This research was designed in qualitative research. The study categorizes metaphors into three types: structural, orientational, and ontological. Based on research findings, the researcher found that ontological metaphors are the most frequently used, followed by structural and orientational metaphors. By exploring the metaphors in selected songs, the research found how metaphors convey complex emotional experiences and articulate themes of love, memory, safety, and loss. The technique of descriptive analysis was applied to analyze data by reading the data and identify the types of metaphor used in James Arthur's selected song lyrics. Data collection is conducted through document study and non-participatory observation. Primary data is derived from the song lyrics, while secondary data is gathered from related journals and resources. These results are expected to help English teachers to use metaphors in the teaching process, and using metaphors in class can be an effective way to expand students' vocabulary, besides that it can be material for consideration and support for future researchers.

Abstract

This study investigates the use of derivational and inflectional affixes in selected songs by Meghan Trainor. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, the study analyzes 10 of Trainor’s songs to identify and classify affixes based on their morphological functions. The results show that inflectional affixes dominate the lyrics, with a total of 77 occurrences compared to 27 derivational affixes. This indicates that the lyrics frequently feature inflectional affixes to convey grammatical functions such as tenses, plurality, and comparison. This finding may suggest a tendency in similar English pop lyrics tend to use inflectional affixes to maintain grammatical structure while supporting rhythmic flow.

Abstract

This study examines language acquisition in early childhood, with a focus on Bebi, a 3-year-old bilingual child. The aim of this research is to understand the language acquisition process of Bebi, who is a bilingual child, and how he combines vocabulary from two different languages ​​in everyday communication. The research method used is descriptive qualitative, with data collection through observation of daily interactions between children and their environment. The research results show that Bebi tends to simplify words that are difficult to pronounce and uses pronunciation patterns that are already familiar to her. Children also demonstrate a basic understanding of everyday concepts and objects. These findings suggest that bilingual environments can influence children's language development in unique ways, and that bilingual children can master both languages ​​well if they get enough exposure.

Abstract

This study aims to identify the types of slang used by teenagers and explain the reasons behind their use in the context of social identity. Slang is defined as an informal language used by certain social groups for internal communication, reflecting the values and experiences of its users. This research uses a descriptive qualitative method with data collection techniques through semi-structured interviews and observations on social media, especially among high school students aged 15-17 years. The results show that there are 10 slang terms that are often used by teenagers, such as “BFR”, “tea”, “C U”, “PAP”, “YOLO”, “salty”, “Kk”, “Btw”, “fix” “YOLO”, and “ASAP”. This study also found that the use of slang can strengthen teenage social identity as well as influence intergenerational communication patterns, where adults often do not understand or negatively judge teenage use of slang. Thus, this study provides insights into how informal language plays a role in shaping social identity and interaction dynamics in teenage communities.
