Abstract

This study analyzes the function of language in DJ Khaled’s selected song lyrics in Khaled Khaled album that has not been previously analyzed. The songs are “Thankful,” “Let It Go,” “This Is My Year,” and “Sorry Not Sorry.” The Islamic integration and interconnection exist, as evidenced by the album cover depicting Khaled performing a prayer posture and the inclusion of “Allah” as one of the album's contributors. Despite the fact of the Islamic aspects in the songs, there are some criticisms from other Muslims. The songs in the album are considered too vulgar and it does not have Islamic values. Nevertheless, as a comparison in the song “Let It Go,” there are the lyrics “I'll let it go if you say that you love me, that sh*t better show (On God)”. The two highlighted words have negative and positive connotations. This proves that there are contradictions that can be studied in terms of language to find the function in each of the lyrics. A function can be interpreted as a representation related to the image that the songwriter wants to convey to the reader or connoisseur of the song. Based on this statement, the researcher decided to look at the function of the language being used. Consequently, this research aims to determine the types of language functions used in the object as well as its most dominant function. As seen by the interpretation in the form of document studies and percentage charts, the results are enriched by a combination of triangulation techniques and descriptive qualitative methods. The data triangulation technique was utilized in this research to collect data from the researcher’s interpretation, annotations from music observers, and Google and YouTube as the ultimate source of confirmation. The method aimed to rely on data, organize data, classify data, identify the signs that can be gleaned from the data, and select a subject or object to provide to readers. Lastly, the results from the four selected songs revealed the following functions: referential (30.2%), emotive (52.8%), conative (5%), phatic (2.5%), metalingual (4.3%), and poetic (5.3%). It can be stated that each lyric can serve one, two, or even no function. Meanwhile, the most dominant function of this object is emotive.
