Abstract

Music is one of the most powerful means of emotional expression, allowing people to convey feelings that words alone often cannot capture. This study analyses Ed Sheeran’s song “Photograph” using Halliday’s Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) framework to explore how meaning and emotion are constructed through the three metafunctions: ideational, interpersonal, and textual. The ideational metafunction reveals how Sheeran represents love, memory, and emotional experience; the interpersonal metafunction shows how linguistic choices build intimacy and emotional connection with listeners; and the textual metafunction demonstrates how cohesion and coherence organize the song’s narrative. By combining these three metafunctions, the study illustrates how Sheeran’s lyrical style reflects human emotion in a simple yet profound way. The findings demonstrate that “Photograph” not only portrays personal memories and affection but also represents how language functions as a medium for expressing universal human emotions through music.

Abstract

This study investigates university students’ experiences in learning English vocabulary through Taylor Swift’s All Too Well (10 Minute Version). Unlike prior studies that predominantly employed quantitative methods or analyzed songs broadly, this research addresses a gap by deeply exploring how popular songs with strong narrative and emotional qualities foster meaningful vocabulary comprehension in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) contexts. Employing a qualitative narrative inquiry approach, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with two purposively selected students from the English Education Program at a university in Pekalongan City, chosen for their engagement with the song. Findings reveal that the song’s narrative structure significantly enhances contextual learning, enabling participants to infer and retain complex vocabulary. Furthermore, the emotional depth of the lyrics cultivates intrinsic motivation and engagement, transforming vocabulary acquisition into a more meaningful process. Participants also demonstrated active vocabulary application by integrating new words into authentic contexts, such as daily journaling. These findings underscore the potential of narrative-driven popular music as an effective and engaging tool for EFL vocabulary acquisition.
