Abstract

This research aims to determine the types of figurative language that appeared in "RED" album by Taylor Swift using Perrine's (1983) theory of Figurative Language. This research will also describe how the use of figurative language affects the meaning of the whole lyrics in Taylor Swift's album. Data on metaphorical language was culled from five songs on Taylor Swift's "RED" album, and analyzed using a descriptive qualitative methodology. The information was collected via a process of documenting events. The research found that there are 10 different types of figurative language, including similes, metaphors, personifications, synecdoches, metonymies, symbols, allegories, paradoxes, exaggerations, and irony. The song's lyrics don't make use of any metaphorical language, such as understatement or apostrophe. As this analysis shows, Taylor Swift often employs the rhetorical technique of simile to communicate the emotional weight of her songs' underlying themes of loss, misery, and betrayal. The purpose of this research is to identify figurative language in songs and analyze how it contributes to the songs' meanings.

Abstract

This study uses a semiotic approach to analyze the emotions experienced by Jeannette Walls in the first chapter of her memoir entitled The Glass Castle. By focusing on the signs contained in the narrative, this research aims to reveal the complexity of feelings Walls experienced in dealing with her mother's condition. Based on the analysis of several fragments of the story, emotions such as surprise, fear, anger, sadness, disgust/disgust, and attraction were found, but no happiness. This absence of happiness shows that in difficult and stressful situations, negative emotions tend to dominate. This research demonstrates the power of memoirs in describing a person's emotional state and how these emotions can be understood through the signs present in the text. Using a semiotic approach, this research provides a deeper insight into the life experiences depicted in memoirs and confirms the importance of signs in understanding the emotional dynamics of characters.
