Abstract

Syntax plays a foundational role in understanding the structure of language, particularly in the context of English language learning. This paper explores the classification of English parts of speech, their syntactic roles, phrase composition, and sentence structures. Drawing upon both classical syntactic frameworks and recent linguistic scholarship (2015–2025), the study analyzes how word categories function and interact within phrases and clauses. Special attention is paid to the pedagogical implications of syntactic awareness for EFL learners, linking theory with practical application. By revisiting concepts introduced by Hambali & Mirizon (2017) and expanding them with insights from contemporary linguistics, this paper provides a comprehensive overview of English syntax relevant to both educators and learners.

Abstract

This study investigates the denotative and connotative meanings embedded in the lyrics of "Someone Like You" by Adele, a globally acclaimed pop ballad released in 2011. Drawing upon Leech's (1981) semantic framework and Ullmann's (1962) theory of meaning, this qualitative research employs a descriptive-analytical approach to examine the lyrical content. The data were collected through purposive sampling of the song's complete lyrics, and were analyzed using content analysis methods. The findings reveal that the lyrics contain rich layers of both denotative meanings—referring to literal, dictionary definitions—and connotative meanings, which evoke emotional, cultural, and associative significance beyond the literal sense. Key themes identified include grief, longing, acceptance, and unresolved romantic attachment. The study demonstrates that Adele's strategic use of language creates a multidimensional semantic landscape that resonates universally with listeners' emotional experiences. This research contributes to the growing body of literature on semantic analysis in popular music and offers pedagogical implications for English language teaching through song lyrics.
