Abstract

This study aims to analyze the use of first-person pronouns in NIKI's song lyrics, focusing on their frequency, pattern, and context of usage. The research employs a descriptive qualitative-quantitative approach, combining corpus analysis with contextual interpretation. The data consists of song lyrics from NIKI's albums and popular tracks, formatted into a compatible text file (.txt) for analysis using AntConc software version 4.3.1. Data collection involved gathering lyrics from reliable sources, cleaning the data, and preparing it for analysis. The analysis process included identifying the frequency of first-person pronouns, observing distribution patterns through the concordance feature, and interpreting the context and meanings of pronoun usage. The findings reveal a dominance of the pronoun "I" (589 occurrences) over "We" (138 occurrences), indicating a focus on individual experiences and emotions in NIKI's lyrics. The study identifies various patterns, including "I + to be," which reflects deep emotional states, self-reflection, and regret; "I + modal," which conveys feelings and desires; and "I + verb," which directly expresses actions and emotions. Additionally, the "We" patterns, such as "We + To Be" and "We + Modal," illustrate collective experiences, possibilities, and relationship dynamics. The results highlight the contrasting roles of individual and collective perspectives in NIKI’s songwriting, enriching the emotional depth of her lyrics.

Abstract

This research analyses the expression of metaphors in the Selected James Arthur's song In this research, the author analyzes the types of metaphors that are used based on Lakoff & Johnson's theory in James Arthur's song lyrics. By using the qualitative method, Metaphor is the most used figurative language to express sadness in James Arthur's song lyrics. Based on the analysis of 25 metaphors, it was found that conceptual metaphor was the most dominant type, with a frequency of 10 times (40%). Conceptual metaphors describe the relationship between one idea and another more concrete idea, such as describing life as a journey. This type helps the listener or reader understand abstract concepts in a more familiar and digestible way. Ontological metaphors took second place with a frequency of 9 times (36%). This type transforms an abstract or formless experience into something more concrete, such as emotions described as objects that can be touched or moved. The use of this metaphor often makes it easier for someone to visualize complex ideas. Meanwhile, orientational metaphors appeared 6 times (24%). Overall, these results suggest that conceptual metaphors are more widely used, perhaps due to their flexibility in conveying abstract ideas, whereas ontological and orientational metaphors complement the narrative more concretely and emotionally

Abstract

This study examines the relationship between grammar proficiency of the students who have finished an intense English course and the growth of their speaking abilities. The purpose of the study is to ascertain whether oral communication ability is enhanced by a greater degree of grammatical understanding. 51 students from an intense English program at one of the state university in Indonesia participated in a quantitative correlational research design. A grammar competency test and a speaking performance evaluation using standardized rubrics with an emphasis on coherence, accuracy, and fluency were used to gather data. The results showed a high positive link between speaking ability and grammar mastery, suggesting that pupils who are more proficient in grammar typically do better while speaking. The findings imply that in order to improve students' overall language proficiency, communicative speaking exercises and explicit grammar teaching should be combined. This study advances our knowledge of how oral skill development in intense language learning environments is supported by grammatical knowledge.
