Data will be in the form of excerpts of speech in WhatsApp, questionnaire responses, and interviews. The source of data is screenshots of WhatsApp group conversations.

Abstract

Figurative language is an important device in literature, specifically in trying to enrich meaning and emotional on creative expression, and especially in song lyrics. While its presence in popular music is widely known, a detailed and comprehensive analysis focused on the density, variety, and interplay of the ten figurative language types within a single song has not been commonly explored. The purpose of this study is to identify and analyse the density and variety, as well as the functions of ten figurative language types classified by Knickerbocker and Reninger, within the song lyrics of JT Music’s “Nightmares Never End.” This study also looks into lexical density, and how richness in vocabulary correlates to figurative language’s density. With a qualitative content analysis approach, the lyrics were analysed and categorised accordingly. The analysis successfully analysed ten types of the figurative language, resulting in a total of 27 instances found in the lyrics. This density and varied types show the song’s richness in linguistic artistry and metaphorical meanings, contributing to its theme of psychological issues, struggles, and loneliness. These findings highlight the intricate use of figurative language, showing the interplay between the types that enhance the song’s thematic depth expressed through the words used.

Abstract

The study aims to examine the rhetorical transformation of Ustaz Felix Siauw’s da'wah in digital media. Using a qualitative method and Aristotle’s rhetorical theory (ethos, logos, pathos), this study analyzes his appearance in a Malaka YouTube podcast. The unit of analysis in this study is the verbal transcript of the podcast episode, which lasts over an hour and is publicly accessible. Data were collected through observation of the podcast video, followed by transcription, and categorization based on Aristotle’s three main rhetorical elements. The findings reveal his strategic use of credibility, logical argumentation, and emotional appeal to reshape his image. While his ideological content remains rooted in Islamic political thought, his delivery has become more dialogical and adaptive. The study concludes that this shift signifies a rhetorical moderation in style, not a fundamental change in ideological orientation.
