Abstract

This study explores the syntactic and stylistic aspects of Ed Sheeran’s song Perfect (2017) to reveal how grammatical structures contribute to emotional and artistic meaning. Using a descriptive qualitative method, the research analyzes the song’s lyrics based on phrase structure theory and grammatical framework. The analysis focuses on sentence types, phrase patterns, and clause relations. The findings show that declarative sentences dominate the lyrics, expressing sincerity and emotional clarity, while imperative and interrogative forms add variation and intimacy. Noun, verb, and prepositional phrases collectively create vivid imagery and smooth narrative flow. The combination of independent and dependent clauses reflects both certainty and vulnerability, central to the song’s romantic theme. Stylistic devices such as ellipsis and repetition enhance rhythm and emotional depth. Overall, the study concludes that syntax in song lyrics functions beyond structure, shaping style and meaning. The findings also demonstrate the potential of song lyrics as authentic materials for English language teaching.

Abstract

This study examines the use of formal language in English debate forums on YouTube by analyzing authentic utterances produced by debaters and moderators in formal debate settings. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, this research analyzes three debate videos, including Youth Leadership Debate competitions and a Harvard student debate held at the John F. Kennedy Jr. Forum. The data consist of selected utterances taken directly from debate transcripts that reflect formal language use in openings, argumentation, disagreement, and closing statements. Brown and Levinson’s Politeness Theory is employed to explain how speakers manage disagreement while maintaining professionalism and social harmony. The findings show that formal language in debate forums is realized through institutional greetings, structured argument framing, mitigated criticism, and evaluative closing statements. Expressions such as formal audience address, guided argument markers, and indirect disagreement demonstrate that formality in debate goes beyond basic politeness and is shaped by academic and institutional norms. This study highlights the importance of formal spoken English in debate contexts and suggests that debate videos on YouTube provide valuable data for analyzing academic oral discourse.
