Abstract

This study focuses on analyzing the use of figurative language in Harris Jung's songs, motivated by the understanding that song lyrics often contain complex and non-standard language use that can offer deep insights into linguistic expression. Applying a qualitative research approach, this research aims to examine the natural conditions of the object, i.e., the song lyrics, through qualitative methods that prioritize observation over theoretical guidance, relying instead on facts uncovered during the study. The research uses Perrine's (1992) theoretical framework to identify and analyze twelve types of figurative language—such as simile, metaphor, and irony—though only eight were actually found in the five selected songs. The findings detail fifty-five instances of figurative language, with metaphors being the most prevalent. This study not only categorizes the types of figurative language present in the lyrics but also elucidates the process of their identification, highlighting the frequent deviation of lyrical language from conventional language rules. The results of this study provide a foundation for future researchers to explore deeper into these linguistic aspects and draw more nuanced conclusions.
