i ii iii iv MOTTO
God never changes people’s, only if they try to change themselves. (Q.S. Ar-Radu:11)
Character is more important than intelligence for success.(Gilberte Beaux)
Real success is determined by two factors. First is faith, and second is action.
A dream written down with a date becomes a goal. A goal broken down into steps
becomes a plan. A plan backed by action makes your dreams come true.
To get a success, your courage must be greater than your fear.

Putri, Asri Ari. 2014. The Analysis of Deixis in English Lyrics Song and Its Application in Teaching Grammar on The Sixth Semester of English Department at Muhammadiyah University of Purworejo Academic Year 2013/2014. Consultant: Dr. Sudar, M.Pd
Keywords: Analysis, Deixis, English lyrics song, Pragmatic, Teaching grammar, Mariah Carey, Simple Future Tense, Application.
People use language as a means of communication in the forms ofsound in structure. One of them is pragmatic. In the pragmatic, we learn about deixis. Deixis is a word which its reference always moves or change depending on the context. Lyrics song is a media to learn about it. This study investigates the use of deixis in lyrics song entitled Hero, When You Believe, Though The Rain, Make It Happen, and Anytime You Need a Friend by Mariah Carey and its application in grammar teaching especially simple future tense. The purpose of this study is to describe the types of deixis found in lyrics song by Marriah Carey’s to describe the kinds of deixis and the most dominant deixis, to describe the application of deixis in the teaching grammar in the lyrics of Mariah Carey’s songs.
This study used descriptive qualitative because the researcher would like to describe about. In this research the types of deixis found in lyrics song entitled Hero, When You Believe, Though The Rain, Make It Happen, and Anytime You Need a Friend, to describe the kinds of deixis and the most dominant deixis found in the lyrics of Mariah Carey’s songs, to describe the application of deixis in the teaching grammar in the lyrics of Mariah Carey’s songs.
The result of this study shows that the dominant kind of deixis is person deixis. Person deixis is dominant because the number of it is higher than other kinds of deixis. The person deixis is 125. They are first personal deixis, second personal deixis, and third personal deixis. There are 5 place deixis. There are 9 time deixis. There are 9 discourse deixis. There is no social deixis found in the lyrics of Mariah Carey’s songs. The person deixis found in the lyrics of Mariah Carey’s songs is higher than other kinds of deixis, so person deixis is the dominant kind of deixis in the lyrics of Mariah Carey’s songs. The last is the applications of deixis in lyrics song by Mariah Carey in teaching grammar. The result of this study is expected to be information for English teachers in teaching grammar and followed by the teacher to start using new technique in learning process and not monotone.
xiv CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION
In this chapter, the researcher wants to present the background of the study, identification of the problem, statements of the problem, objectives of the study, significance of the study, limitation of the study and definition of the key terms.
A. Background of the Study
People use language as a means of communication in the forms of
sound in structure. It is reasonable why language is interesting to be analyses.
Using language is really producing sound in sequences which form groups of
words, both in spoken language or written language and gesture. The meaning
and acceptance can be passed accurately between people if their
communications go smoothly without any obstacles.
Human life cannot be separated from language. As the member of
social community, people need language to communicate. Language is used
as a bridge for daily interaction. People use language to express their idea and
share information, in spoken and written form.
Language can to express any feeling like commanding, questioning,
stating, promising, threatening, and many kinds of expressions. People can
share the past, present, event future information of ideas, emotions feelings,
1 2
or situations through language. All of the expressions are used for communicating each other.
Nowadays people are easy and like to show their feeling by writing the song. Song is another way to communicate people’s feeling to someone else that is through lyrics. Lyrics is not only the arrangement of words into sentences but also representation of the composers emotion to describe the feelings, such as falling in love, sad, happy, jealous, broken heart, missing someone, and others. Every lyric consists of words or sentences which have different grammatical functions and song lyrics could be said as part of discourse.
Generally, songs are written based on the various background of the composer. It can be imagination, experiences, environment in out of the composer. Song may reflect psychological conflicts, idea, though, opinion, emotion. So, someone either composer or reader get messages of the song.
People believe, by listening or singing a song, they will become more relax and decrease their stress in their conflict.
Deixis is a word which its reference always moves or change depending on the context. It is also stated that deixis is a part of pragmatics that has connection with certain word or sentence that changes because of the context. The basic grammatical distinctions here are the categories of first, second and third person. First person include I, my, myself, mine and, me.
Second person include you and third person includes she, he and it. 3
Time deixis is the reference made to particular times relative to some
other time, most currently the time of utterance, the uses of the adverb of time
such as now, tomorrow or soon, or the use of tenses. Discourse deixis is
where reference is being made to the current discourse. And, social deixis is
used to code social distinctions that are relative to the participant role in
social relationship between speaker and addresses or speaker and some
reference.
Mariah Carey is one of multitalented singer who has a beautiful face
and voice. She is philanthropist who has donated time and money to
organizations and written about themes such as love, racism, social alienation,
death, world hunger, and spirituality. Carey's vocal style and singing ability
have significantly impacted popular and contemporary music. She has
collected many honors and awards. Based on the background above, the writer
decides to carry out the research entitled The Analysis of Deixis in English
Lyrics Song and Its Application in Teaching Grammar of The Sixth Semester
of Department at Muhammadiyah University of Purworejo Academic Year
2013/2014.
B. Identification of The Problems
The language which is used in Carey’ lyrics song is very beautiful that
makes the researcher interested to analyze the usage of deixis in Carey’s song.
The researcher does not decrease or increase the original meaning of Carey’s
song itself. The researcher just analyzes the kinds of deixis, they are person 4
deixis, place deixis, time deixis, discourse deixis, and social deixis and
describing the functions of deixis and teaching grammar taken from the
Mariah Carey’s songs. So, the researcher hopes this research could be as
reference to help the learners in studying deixis to application in teaching
grammar especially in Carey’s songs.
C. Limited Of The Problem
In order to gain detail analysis, it is necessary to focus on the certain
area and limitation of the study. The study is focused on studying the kinds of
deixis, they are person deixis, place deixis, time deixis, discourse deixis, and
social deixis and describing the functions of deixis and teaching grammar
taken from the Mariah Carey’s songs and it emphasizes only five selected
songs that are taken from several albums, which Mariah Carey writes and
sings.
D. Problem Statement
Based on the consideration in the background, the writer formulates
problem of the research is mentioned below:
1. What are the kinds of deixis found in the lyrics of Mariah Carey’s songs?
2. What is the most dominant deixis in the lyrics of Mariah Carey’s songs?
3. How is the application of deixis in teaching grammar? 5
E. Objective of the Study
Based on the statement of the problem above, the writer has the
following objective:
1. To find out the kinds of deixis that is used in the lyrics of Mariah Carey’s
songs.
2. To know the most dominant deixis that is used in the lyrics of Mariah
Carey’s songs.
3. To describe the applications of deixis in teaching grammar.
F. Significance of the Study
The study is also conducted in the hope that the result would give
positive contribution to teachers, students, and researchers.
1. Teachers
The result of this research will give advantages for teachers. The
researcher hopes that the research can involve and enrich the various
definitions and examples in deixis. This variation itself uses by the
teachers to teach more clearly and interesting.
2. Students
Deixis is thought in junior and senior high school even not clearly. The
researcher hopes that the research will help the student to understand and
gives more examples about deixis. 6
3. Researchers
The researcher expects that the research can be used as a reference for the
other researchers who want to analyze the uses of deixis of English lyrics
song and its application on teaching grammar.
G. Definition of the Keys Term
To avoid misunderstanding in the way to understand this study, the
researcher needs to provide definition of terms which are often found in this
study as follows:
1. Analysis
Analysis is a description on its elements which has purpose to comprehend
the relationship between one element and others in supporting the meaning
of literary works (Sudjiman, 1984:3-5).
2. Deixis
Deixisis an important field of language study in its own right, but it also
has some relevance to the analysis of conversations and pragmatics. It is
often and best described as “verbal pointing”, that is to say pointing by
means of language (Yule 1996:9).
Deixis is a word which its reference always moves or change depending
on the context. It is also stated that deixis is a part of pragmatics that has
connection with certain word or sentence that changes because of the
context. The change of context in sentence is often caused by the change
of situation including personal, time and place (Levinson, 1983:9). 7
3. Application
Application is the action or an instance of putting a theory, discovery, to
practical use (Hornby, 1995: 48).
4. Lyric is a kind of poetry expressing direct personal feeling and its is
composed for singing; a form of writing arranged in lines, each
conforming to a pattern of accented and unaccented syllables (Hornby,
1978: 201).
5. Song is a short poem or other set of words set to music or meant to be
sung (www.oxforddictionari.com, accessed on March 29th, 2014).
6. Teaching grammar is state explicitly the rules of the language, list the
words and their pronunciations, and aid in learning a new language or
dialect (Fromkin, 2003: 17).
7. Mariah Carey is name of female pop singer in New York CHAPTER II REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
In this chapter, the writer gives some revelation that consists of
previous studies, the notion of pragmatics, the notion of deixis, the kinds of
deixis, the notion of song, the notion of lyric, teaching grammar and the
biography of Mariah Carey.
A. Previous Studies
There are many researchers who done the research with different
perspective in the previous. The research by Dina (2008) that conducted a
research entitled A Pragmatics Analysis on Figurative Language Used in
English Translation of Bukhori Hadith. The research has objective to describe
the types of figurative language used in Bukhori Hadith and to describe the
implied meaning of figurative language used in Bukhori Hadith. The method
that is used by the researcher is descriptive qualitative. The researcher found
four figurative languages in Bukhori Hadith, there simile, metaphor,
personification, and allegory.
B. The Notion of Pragmatics
Pragmatics is the study about the relationship between form of
linguistics and the user of it. According to Levinson (1983:3) pragmatics is
the study of the relationship between language and the context, which is a
basis in understanding the meaning of language. Refers to this statement, 8 9
pragmatics is the study of the aspect of the relationship between language and context that are relevant to the writing grammar. It is dealing with language use and the relationship between language form and language uses.
Pragmatics is concerned with natural language meaning, and more specifically with how natural language becomes meaningful in context. More practically, pragmatics is often concerned with aspects of meaning which results in some clear way from contextual information. For example so-called
'deictic' expressions like here, there, or she are particular good examples for the role of context for the establishment of meaning.
Pragmatics is a subfield of linguistics which studies the ways in which context contributes to meaning. Pragmatics encompasses speechact theory, conversational implicative, talk in interaction and other approaches to language behavior in philosophy, sociology, and linguistics. It studies how the transmission of meaning depends not only on the linguistic knowledge
(e.g. grammar, lexicon etc.) of the speaker and listener, but also on the context of the utterance, knowledge about the status of those involved, the inferred intent of the speaker, and so on. In this respect, pragmatics explains how language users are able to overcome apparent ambiguity, since meaning relies on the manner, place, time etc. of an utterance. The ability to understand another speaker's intended meaning is called pragmatic competence. So an utterance describing pragmatic function is described as metapragmatic. Pragmatic awareness is regarded as one of the most 10
challenging aspects of language learning, and, though it can be taught, often comes only through experience.
Kreidler (1998:18) states that pragmatics is another branch of linguistics that is concerned with meaning. While, Peccei (1999:5) states that pragmatics concentrates on the aspect of meaning that could not be predicted by linguistic knowledge alone and take into account our knowledge about the physical and social world. The focus of pragmatics analysis is on the meaning of words or sentence.
According to Yule (1996:3) pragmatics is the study of speaker meaning. It concerned with the study of meaning as communicated by a speaker (or writer) and interpreted by a listener (or reader). Pragmatics is the study of contextual meaning. It requires a consideration of how speakers organize what they want to say in accordance with who they are talking to, where, when, and under what circumstances. Pragmatics is the study of how more gets communicated than is said. This type of study explores how a great deal of what is unsaid is recognized as part of what is communicated.
Pragmatics is the study of the expression of relative distance. This perspective then raises the question of what determines the choice between the said and the unsaid. 11
C. The Notion of Deixis
Deixis, derived from the Greek for “pointing”, relates to those aspects
of language which anchor the utterance or discourse in a particular situation
or contextual world.
Based on Fillmore (1982:35), deixis is the name given to uses of items
and categories of lexicon and grammar that are controlled by certain details of
the interactional situation in which the utterances are produced. These details
include especially the identity of the participants in the communicating
situation, their locations and orientations in space, whatever on-going
indexing acts the participants may be performing, and the time at which the
utterance containing the items is produced.
Deictics are ‘pointing’ words. They include tensed verbs (temporal
deixis), personal pronouns, demonstratives (these, this, that), and time and
place expressions such as now, then, here, yesterday, today, and so forth.
These words relate our linguistic expression to the current situation. They are
bridges between language and the world (Lyons, 1977:637).
According to Evelyn Hatch (1992:210), the word deixis is derived
from the Greek “deicticos” means to show” or to indicates. Deictic (noun of
deixis) is used to devote to those elements in language that referred directly to
the situation. Deictic terms are used to refer to ourselves to others and object
in our environment. They are used to locate actions in a time frame relative to
the present. Deictic terms show social relationship the social location 12
individuals in relation to others. They are also used to locate parts of text in relation to other parts.
Jaszczolt (2002:191) states that ‘deixis’ derives from Ancient Greek which means ‘to show’, ‘to point out. Deictic words are word with a reference point which is speaker or writer dependent and determined by the speaker or writer position in space and time (Karl Buhler, in Jan Rankema, 1993:76).
Based on Levinson (1983:9), Deixis is a word which its reference always moves or change depending on the context. It is also stated that deixis is a part of pragmatics that has connection with certain word or sentence that changes because of the context. The change of context in sentence is often caused by the change of situation including personal, time and place.
When people say something, they may not only intent to say it, but also mean something behind the utterances they say, and the actions performed via utterances are called as speech acts (Yule, 1996:47). Therefore, people not only produce strings of words as sentences, but also utterances that are intended to achieve their intention. Deixis, as one of the communication strategies also belongs to speech acts.
Yule (1996:9) defines deixis as technical term for one of the most basic things we do with utterances. In addition, Cruse defines that deixis signifies different things to different people (2000:319).
Any linguistic varieties applied to accomplish this ‘pointing’ are called a deictic expression or indexicals (Yule, 1996:9). However, to explicate the importance of a deictic information for interpreting utterances is 13
possibly best exemplified by what happens when such information is incomplete, as what has been stated by Fillmore (1975:38-9) in Levinson
(1983:54). Take a look at the example of deictic expression below:
I’ll bring you a gift and put it here tomorrow.
From the example above, the speaker uses the word ‘I’ to point at himself or herself, in other words, ‘I’ refers to the person who is currently speaking. The speaker uses the word ‘you’ to point at the intended addressee or hearer. The word ‘here’ indicates the place of speaking and ‘tomorrow’ indicates the time after the utterance is spoken. Suppose it was not directly said to certain people but it was written in a note that people find somewhere, the message will mean nothing because that people cannot get complete information of who the speaker is, when and where the exact time and place is.
There are some very common words in our language that can’t be interpreted at all if we don’t know the context, especially the physical context of the speaker. These are words such as here and there, this or that, now and then, yesterday, today or tomorrow, as well as pronouns such as you, me, her, him, it, and them. Some sentences of English are virtually impossible to understand if we don’t know who is speaking, about whom, where and when.
For example: You’ll have to bring it back tomorrow because she isn’t here today.
Out of context, this sentence is really vague. It contains a large number of expressions (you, it, tomorrow, she, here, today) that rely on 14
knowledge of the immediate physical context for their interpretation (i.e. that
the delivery driver will have to return on February 15th to 660 College Drive
with the package labeled ‘flowers, handle with care’ addressed to Lisa
Landry). Expressions such as tomorrow and here are obvious examples of
bits of language that we can only understand in terms of the speaker’s
intended meaning. They are technically known as deictic expressions, from
the Greek word deixis (pronounced like ‘day-icksis’), which means ‘pointing’
via language (Yule, 1996:115).
In pragmatics and linguistics, deixis is a process whereby words or
expressions rely absolutely on context. A word that depends on deictic clues
is called a deictic or a deictic word. Pro-forms are generally considered to be
deictics, but a finer distinction is often made between personal pro-forms
such as I, you , and it (commonly referred to as personal pronouns) and pro-
forms that refer to places and times such as now, then, here, there . In most
texts, the word deictic implies the latter but not necessarily the former.
It is clear that the meaning of utterance in deictic expression can be
interpreted through context and we must know who the speaker and listener
are being interpreted by certain situation.
D. The Kinds of Deixis
Deixis are those words in a language that entirely depend on context
based on Fromkin (1991). Traditionally, deixis were divided into three
categories - referring to people, place and time. By the 1980’s, two more 15
categories had been added – discourse and social deixis (Levinson, 1983).
Levinson (1983:63) identified five major types of deictic markers: person
deixis, place deixis, time deixis, discourse deixis, and social deixis. a. Person Deixis
Person deixis is a word that has functions as personal pronoun. Person
deixis is encoded in pronouns: ‘I’ for the speaker, ‘you’ for the addressee,
‘he’, ‘she’, ‘it’, ‘we’, ‘they’, for others.
Person deixis related with personal pronoun, if its reference which is
used appropriate with the context is being used. As stated by Levinson
(1983:62), personal deixis concerns the encoding of the role of participant
in the speech event in which the utterance in question is delivering. The
category of personal divided into three: the category first person is the
grammaticalization of the speaker’s reference himself, second person the
encoding of the speaker’s reference to one or more addressees. Third
persons encode of reference to person and entities that are neither speakers
nor addressees of the utterance in question.
Personal deixis is an utterance that uses a personal pronoun to refer to
him or to refer to who is as hearer (I, you, and they). Reference pointed by
personal pronoun keeps changing based on the character brought by
participant role. A person who speaks gets a role as a first person. If he or
she does not speak again, then to be a listener, he or she changes into a
second person. A person who does not present in speech event or close
with the place of conversation is called third person (Yule, 1996:10). 16
The traditional view of person deixis (Lyons, 1977: 638-9) allows first
and second person pronouns into the category, since „I,‟ „we‟ and „you‟,
and their verb forms, encode the participants in a discourse. Third person
forms are excluded as being non-participatory.
The basic grammatical distinctions here are the categories of first,
second and third person. First person include I, my, myself, mine and, me.
Second person include you and third person includes she, he and it. A
person who speaks gets a role as a first person and the hearer as a second
person. And the person or thing being spoken of called the third person.
The use of personal deixis is so pervasive in natural language both
oral and written. Its aim is to make the interpretation process of some word
that the referent always changes becomes easier. If it is not used, it will be
satiation to the reader or hearer.
However, it might appear to the reader or the hearer some
misunderstanding of the personal deixis. They will find it is difficult to
interpret whom is uttering or to whom the utterance is uttered. b. Place Deixis
According to Levinson (1983:62), place deixis concerns the encoding
of spatial locations relative to the location of the participants in the speech.
Place or location can be deixis if that place or location is being seeing
from the location of the people who are doing communication in language
use in speech event. Place deixis deals with proximal (close to speaker) or
distal (close to addressee) dimension. 17
Place deixis can be seen from the use of demonstrative pronouns such
as; ‘this’ and ‘that’, and also can be seen from demonstrative adverbs of
place such as; ‘here’ and ‘there’. The spatial location is relative to
speaker’s location. It can be proximal (close to the speaker) or distal (away
from the speaker). Adverbs of place ‘here’ means proximal or close to the
speaker’s location. And ‘there’ means distal or away from the speaker’s
location. The word ‘there’ also can be proximal to addressee of speech act.
While, demonstrative pronoun ‘this’ can mean an object close to the
speaker’s location. Then, ‘that’ means the object is far away to the
speaker’s location of speech event. The forms ‘these’ and ‘those’ are
plural forms of ‘this’ and ‘that’ that have the same concept.
Based on the definition above, place deixis is the words refer to the
location of speech events, and deal with the distance either proximal or
distal of speaker’s location. c. Time Deixis
According to Levinson (1983:217), time deixis refers to the time
which relative to the time of speaking or an utterance spoken. Hatch
(1992:217) states that time deixis refers to time relative to time of
speaking.
Time deixis is generally grammaticalized by the form of adverbs of
time, like now, then, yesterday and of tense (Levinson, 1983: 62). 18
d. Discourse Deixis
A word can be said as discourse deixis if that word refers to certain
part of that text. According to Levinson (1983:85), discourse deixis use of
expression with some utterance to refer to some portion of the discourse
that contains the utterance (including the use of the utterance itself). It is
where reference is being made to the current discourse.
Example:
a) That’s a rhinoceros
b) Spell it for me
It refers no to the referent, the beast itself, but to the word
rhinoceros. Here, it is not doing duty for a use of rhinoceros but rather
for a mention of it. It is an example of token reflexivity discourse
deixis, in which a word in utterance refers to the utterance itself. e. Social Deixis
Social deixis is use to code social distinctions that are relative to the
participant role in social relationship between speaker and addressee or
speaker and some reference (Levinson, 1983:63).
While, Fillmore in Levinson (1983:89) states that deixis is concern
with the aspect of sentence, reflect, establish or determined by certain
realities of the social situation on which the speech act occur.
Further, Hatch (1992:220) states that social deixis is code to know
social relationship between speaker and addressee or audience. 19
E. The Notion of Song
Songs are written based on the various background of the composer. It
can be imagination, experiences, environment in out of the composer. Song is
poem set to music, intended to be sung (Oxford Learner’s Pocket dictionary,
1996:395). Song is a great influence for human life. Song may reflect
psychological conflicts, idea, though, opinion, emotion. So, someone either
composer or reader get messages of the song. People believe, by listening or
singing a song, they will become more relax and decrease their stress in their
conflict.
F. The Notion of Lyric
Reaske (1966:35) states that lyrical referred originally to lyric poetry
that is to poetry written to be sung to a lyric.
The term “Lyric” designates a short poem which emphasizes the
expression of the individual’s feelings and emotions rather than external
events or attitudes.
As stated by Hornby (1978: 201), lyric is a kind of poetry expressing
direct personal feeling and it is composed for singing; a form of writing
arranged in lines, each conforming to a pattern of accented and unaccented
syllables.
Lyrics in this study refer to the words of a song as lyric in general.
The term lyric denotes a poem of limited length expressing the thought and 20
especially the feeling of a single speaker. Although lyrical poems are no
longer necessarily sung, they frequently retain their musical quality.
G. Definition of Song
Song is short piece of music with words that you sing. Song in general
is music for singing a song at a very low price song and danceunnecessary
fuss.Instrumental work in vocal style: an instrumental work written in style of
a composition for the voice, or, in popularmusic, any musical work. Song
could be used to teach grammar because in the lyrics of song there are several
kinds of tenses, teacher could choose definitesong which appropriate with
tenses that would be taught. Media is anagent or companion, Association for
Education and Technology(AEGT) define that media is a tool which is used to
distributeinformation. Moreover, National Education Association ( NEA )
define that media is a something which can be manipulated, seen,heard, and
read by instrument used in teaching learning process. Inother hand, media is a
tool store and conveys information. Media inteaching learning process are
often used by teachers to improvestudents’ understanding on the material and
to make teaching andlearning process more enjoyable.
The Characteristics and Components of Song according to Jan
Peterson that a good song contains fourimportant characteristics they are; first,
a good song needs a universalmessage and a story worth telling. It means that
songs ideas whirlaround us every day, but you need to catch that one special
massage. 21
H. Simple Future Tense
1. Definition of Simple Future Tense
Simple Future Tense is tense is a verb form that marks the event
described by the verb as not having happened yet, but expected to happen
in the future.Simple Future Tense is describing the tense which describes a
future action: uses forms of will, shall of be goingto.The structure of the
Simple Future Tense is:
Subject + auxiliary verb (will/shall/be going to) + main verb
Examples:
- He will finish his work tomorrow
- He is going to finish his work tomorrow
Will or be going to is used to express future time, the use of shall with I or
We to express future time is possible but uncommon in American English.
Shall is used much more frequently in British than in American English.
Simple Future has two different forms in English: "will" and "be
going to." Although the two forms can sometimes be used
interchangeably, they often express two very different meanings. These
different meanings might seem too abstract at first, but with time and
practice, the differences will become clear. Both "will" and "be going to"
refer to a specific time in the future.
Form will:
(Will + verb) 22
Examples:
+ You will help him later.
? Will you help him later?
- You will not help him later.
Form is going to:
(Am/is/are + going to + verb)
Examples:
+ You are going to meet Jane tonight.
? Are you going to meet Jane tonight?
- You are not going to meet Jane tonight.
I. Teaching Grammar
According to Harmer (2007: 57), teaching is about transmission of
knowledge from teacher to students, or it is about creating conditions in
which, somehow, students learn for themselves.
When someone learn another language besides his or her mother
tongue or first language. He or she needs to learn the rules about that
language. There are many definitions of grammar.
According to Richard, a grammar is a person’s subconscious language
knowledge. You use your English Grammar whenever you speak or write
English or understand someone else’s speech or writing. A grammar consists
of principles or rules that allow you to create an infinite number of possible
sentence out of a finite number of words. 23
From those definitions above, it can be conclude that grammar is
knowledge about the rules of language. It explains how to combine words or a
little bit of words in order to make something understanding or meaningful
sentence both written and spoken.
Teaching grammars are used in school to fulfill language requirements.
They can be helpful to persons who do not speak the standard or prestige
dialect, but find it would be advantageous socially and economically to do so.
Teaching grammar state explicitly the rules of the language, list the words and
their pronunciation, and aid in learning a new language or dialect (Fromkin,
2003:17).
J. The Biography of Mariah Carey
Mariah Carey (Mariah Angela Carey) was born in Long Island,
Huntington, New York, on March 27, 1969. Her parents are Patricia Hickey
(Irish-American) and Alfred Roy Carey (African-American/Venezuelan). Her
mother was a mezzo-soprano New York City opera singer and a freelance
vocal coach; whereas, her father was an aeronautical engineer. Carey, third
and youngest, has siblings Alison and Morgan, who was significantly older
by ten years.
Predestined to be a multiracial family, the Carey menace were faced
with racial insult, hostility and even violence, with crosses being burnt on
their lawn, their dogs poisoned, their car blown up, and a shot fired through
the kitchen window during mealtime. In addition, Carey's mother Patricia also 24
faced much racism in the early 1960s, during which she was disowned by her family when she married Alfred Roy Carey.
The bad experiences had caused the whole family to move often around New York area to find more friendly neighborhoods. Also, those incidents caused Carey great distress and created tension within the family itself, which then led Alfred and Patricia to get divorced in 1972 when Carey was still three. After her parents' divorce, Carey and Morgan stayed with their mother while Alison stayed with their father. Living away from her father and having little contact with him were too much for such a little girl like Carey but life had to go on somehow. As a single mother, Patricia had to struggle with two or three jobs and continued moving among different towns on Long
Island. Though so, she managed to provide a spirited, loving household for children.
Having a good vocal quality, Carey began singing when she was three and it happened by accident that her mother realized early on her tremendous potential. One day when her mother was rehearsing her role of Maddalena in
Verdi's "Opera Rigolettos", she heard Carey imitating her singing perfectly.
Since then, her mother began teaching her how to develop her vocal skills, despite the fact that she was only three years old. So, during the year of 1974,
Patricia nurtured her daughter's talent by coaching her at home without trying to force the issue too much. In fact, the intense vocal lessons pushed Carey to make her public singing debut. She first performed in public when she was 25
six, singing for friends and performing in talent shows and folk-music festivals.
At the age of 16 years old, Carey entered Oldfield Middle School and started to find a new interest which was not far from singing, writing her own songs. Having strong passion in crafting songs, Carey frequently skipped classes and poured her spirit in penning songs and dreaming about becoming a famous singer. When she enrolled at the Harborfield High School, she started traveling back and forth to Manhattan in order to study music with professionals. That's the one and only reason why she rarely showed up for class, because of which she was jokingly named "Mirage" by her high school friends. Wishing to break into the music business, Carey took part-time job after school, singing on demo tapes at Long Island studios.
Before she got her big break, Carey already completed 500 hours of beauty school, worked as a hair sweeper in a salon, and also worked as a waitress and as a coat check girl. On her sixteenth birthday, her brother
Morgan paid the cost of her first professional recording session in Manhattan, and there she met keyboard player and songwriter Ben Margulies who later on became her songwriting partner and close friend. In 1987, Carey graduated from Harborfields High School on Long Island. Subsequently, her mother remarried and she moved to Manhattan, recording and offering her demo tape to record companies. One year later, all of her hard work came to fruition.
She got into an audition and landed a job as singing backup for Brenda K.
Starr. 26
In June of 1990, Mariah made her debut with "Mariah Carey" which entered at #73, but on August 4, 1990, it reached #1. Her 1990 self-titled debut album went multi-platinum and spawned an extraordinary four consecutive #1 singles: "Vision of Love," "Love Takes Time," "Someday" and "I Don't Wanna Cry," and led to Grammy Awards for Best New Artist and Best Female Vocalist. Her 1993 album titled Music Box went ten-times platinum. On September 30, 1995, she made music history. Her single
"Fantasy" from her 1995 Daydream album debuted at #1 on the Billboard Hot
100, making her the first female artist to accomplish a number one debut in the U.S. Her other Daydream's single "One Sweet Day" remained for 16 weeks at the top of the charts. She is the only artist since The Beatles to have so many #1 singles and albums. With "Heartbreaker", the first single from her
1999 album Rainbow and also her 14 #1 single, she became the only artist to top the charts in each year of the 1990s, and with "Heartbreaker" at its 60th week atop the Billboard's charts, she pushed ahead of The Beatles's 59-week record as the only artist with the most cumulative weeks spent atop
Billboard's Hot 100 Singles chart. Following "Heartbreaker," her second single "Thank God I Found You" also from her Rainbow album became her
15th #1. "We Belong Together" from her 2005 album The Emancipation of
Mimi became her 16th #1 single and was also her first #1 without any guest artists since her song "My All" (also a #1 single) captured the top spot in May
1998. The single "Don't Forget About Us" also from her 2005 album
Emancipation of Mimi became her 17th #1 single, tying her with Elvis 27
Presley's 17 #1 singles. Three more Grammy Awards were gained from The
Emancipation of Mimi album. She is the most successful selling female artist in music history and is the only female artist to have the most #1 singles and albums and also holds the record for straight #1 singles and albums each year.
Along with numerous awards and incredible vocal range, she also composes all of her own material, with the exception of song covers.
In April 2008, the single "Touch My Body" became her 18th #1 single, pushing her ahead of Elvis Presley's 17 #1 singles. Now she is the only artist since The Beatles to have as many number one singles and the only singer alive likely to succeed them. CHAPTER III RESEARCH METHODS
The research method has an important role in guiding the research in order to make the study meaningful and acceptable. This chapter discusses the research design, source of the data, research data, instrument of research, procedure of data collection, and data analysis.
A. Research Design
The term method was come from latin “Methodos”. It is divided two
words; meta and hodos. Meta is concern follow accompany. And hodos is the
way, manner, direction. In the broad meaning, method is a way or a procedure
to know something which has the systematic steps. So, every research needs
research method, and it is needed because it helps solving the problems.
There are two methods to research; qualitative and quantitative methods. In
this analysis, the writer uses qualitative research to analyze the deixis on the
lyrics of Mariah Carey’s songs.
The writer collects and reads several literatures about Mariah Carey’s
songs, and browsing to the internet. Research methods allows to collect
information about the world in a systematic way and to closely analyze it, so
it might make claims or propose theories about the society and human
behavior.
28 29
According to Neuman (1991) library research is also called a
qualitative research, in which the data are the text, written words, phrase or
symbols. It is not concerned with any numbers. Moreover, the author
suggested that the most obvious of its difference from other is that the form
qualitative data are words, sentences, and paragraph rather than number.
While Denzin and Lincoln (1994) in Newman and Benz (1998:16), state that
Qualitative research is multi method in focus, involving an interpretive,
naturalistic approach to its subject matter.
According to Sugiyono (2012: 13) states that characteristic of qualitative research as follows:
a. Qualitative research has the natural setting as the direct source of data and
researcher is the key instrument.
b. Qualitative research is descriptive. The data collected is in the form of
words of pictures rather than number.
c. Qualitative research are concerned with process rather than simply with
outcomes or product.
d. Qualitative research tends to analyze their data inductively.
e. “Meaning” is of essential to the qualitative research. 30
B. Source of the Data
Source of the data of this study is text of lyric song in Mariah Carey’s
songs entitled: Hero, When You Believe, Anytime You Need a Friend,
Through the Rain, and Make it Happen.
C. Research Data
The research data of the study are the kinds of the deixis on the lyrics
of Mariah Carey’s songs, the dominant deixis and applications in teaching
grammar in the lyrics of Mariah Carey’s songs.
D. Instrument of Research
The research instrument of this research is human instrument.
Therefore, the writer used herself as the key instrument of this research. To
make the data easier to be analyzed, the writer listening, reading, and
understanding the lyrics of Mariah Carey’s songs to identify the data related
to the purposes of the study.
So, in this case, the writer herself is as the key instrument of collecting
the data. According to Bogdan and Biklen, Sugiyono (2012:13) states that
qualitative research has the natural setting as the direct source of data and the
researcher is as the key instrument. 31
E. Procedure of Data Collection
After deciding the title, the writer collects the data by reading,
analyzing, classifying the words and sentences in the lyric songs, and also
tries to collects the references which support her analysis.
Collecting the data is the way of systematic and standard procedures
of obtaining data. It is very important because by having valid data, the writer
will produce a reliable analysis in collecting the data. The process of
collecting data can be described as follows:
1. Listening, reading, and understanding all of the Mariah Carey’s lyric
songs.
2. Choosing data dealing with the deixis.
3. Selecting data that are relevant with the purpose of the study in the Mariah
Carey’s lyric songs.
4. Categorizing and conducting the description to words lyric songs on the
basis and relevance to the research problem in Mariah Carey’s songs.
5. Coding the data. Coding will make the work easier to be done.
6. Classifying the type of teaching grammar.
Miles and Huberman (1994:58) suggest that data can be
codeddescriptively or interpretively. Unlike some authors, they
suggestcreating an initial “start list” of codes and refining these in the
field. Researchers using a strictly inductive approachmight choose not to
create any codes until some observationsand informal interviews were
conducted from which codescould be induced. 32
Bogdan and Biklen (1992) recommend reading data over atleast
several times to begin to develop a coding scheme. Theydescribe coding
data according to categories and details of settings;types of situation
observed; perspectives and views of subjects of all manner of phenomena
and objects; processes,activities, events, strategies, and methods observed;
and socialrelationships.
So, in collecting the data, the writer codes the data to make
efficient time and effort. Code (A) for person deixis, code (B) for place
deixis, code (C) for time deixis, code (D) for discourse deixis, and code
(E) for social deixis. While reading, the writer underlines some parts in the
lyrics are considered as the deixis.
F. Data Analysis
After collecting the data, the writer has to determine some steps that
will be used to analyze them. Analysis includes working with data. Content
analysis is a procedure for categorization of data, for the purpose of
classification and referring to the research problems and the content analysis.
Miles and Huberman (1984) in Aminuddin (1990:18) state that analyzing data
in qualitative research done continually, since connecting data until writing
final report of research. So, the next steps should be done by the researcher in
analyzing the data are as follows:
1. Analyzing the data 33
All of the data are collected. Then the writer gives the mark on the
context of songs.
2. Describing the data
After analyzing the data, the writer focuses on finding and describing
the deixis on the lyrics of Mariah Carey’s songs. The table of the kinds of
deixis is:
Table 3.1 The Kinds of Deixis
The kinds of deixis No Sentence Person Place Time Discourse Social Deixis Deixis Deixis Deixis Deixis
The writer counts the data which many kinds of the deixis on the
lyrics of Mariah Carey’s songs. After analyzing the data, the writer finds
the dominant kinds of deixis in the lyrics of Mariah Carey’s songs. Table
of dominant kinds of deixis expressions:

Total 3. The writer making conclusion and suggestion. CHAPTER IV RESEARCH FINDINGS AND DISCUSSION
In this chapter, the writer would like to analyze the data. The writer focuses on finding and describing the deixis and also the dominant deixis in the lyrics of Mariah Carey’s songs. There are five songs, entitled: hero, when you believe, through the rain, make it happen, and anytime you need a friend. And then, application teaching grammar.
A. Research Findings
1. Hero Lyrics
Hero is one of the lyrics of Mariah Carey’s songs. Taken from Music
Box Album, 1993. Lyrically, the song is regarded as one of Carey's most
inspirational and personal ballads, with its protagonist declaring that even
though the writer and the reader may feel discouraged or down at times, in
reality "heroes" if the writer and the reader look inside themselves and see
their own inner strength, in time, it will help them to find the way. It can
be seen at the stanza below:
There's a hero If you look inside your heart You don't have to be afraid Of what you are There's an answer If you reach into your soul And the sorrow that you know Will melt away
34 35
And then a hero comes along With the strength to carry on And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive So when you feel like hope is gone Look inside you and be strong And you'll finally see the truth That a hero lies in you
The song's lyrics describe the individual power that lies inside every person, their ability to be their own hero. The song inspires anyone to be a hero. It’s great. It talks about people who don't trust themselves, have no faith and self-confidence, they can search themselves and find that there's a hero inside,a hidden talent, and everything. Hero is about looking into oneself and discovering the inner courage inside each individual, and being strong and believing in oneself through times of trouble and adversity.
It's a long road When you face the world alone No one reaches out a hand For you to hold You can find love If you search within yourself And the emptiness you felt Will disappear
Lord knows Dreams are hard to follow But don't let anyone Tear them away Hold on There will be tomorrow In time you'll find the way 36
From the stanza above, it can show that the writer and the reader
must keep confidence all the time. Whatever the people are said, or how
the problems attack, the writer and the reader should give themselves a
chance to prove the strength enough to solve the problem.

4. Make it Happen Lyric
This song tells of Carey's personal struggles prior to her rise to fame,
and how her faith in God helped sustain her.As a child, Carey lived with
her mother Patricia in a small apartment on Long Island, New York. They
were poor and had to move several times as Patricia found different
jobs. As a result, Carey frequently transferred into different schools, and at
the age of seventeen, she moved into a small Manhattan studio with other
young women to pursue a career in music. She had already begun working
on her demo tape with Ben Margulies, a fellow classmate at her school in
Huntington, Long Island. During this period, she lived a lifestyle of
poverty, often sharing a box of spaghetti with her five roommates and
wearing torn shoes. She held several jobs, while juggling school, writing,
and recording music.
After graduating from high school, Carey invested more time into her
music while working sporadically at different jobs. She began working for
Puerto Rican singer Brenda K. Starr as a background singer, hoping to find
new opportunities and meet important record executives along the way. At
a gala for Sony executives, Starr gave a copy of Carey's demo tape
toTommy Mottola, CEO of Columbia Records. Mottola was sufficiently
impressed with the tape to sign Carey to the label. Two years later in 1991,
Carey was well under way writing and recording material for her
second studio album, Emotions (1991). During the months spent
conceptualizing the album, Carey decided to write a song that would 52
illustrate her lifestyle prior to her success. She felt listeners' hearing her rags-to-riches story might inspire them to pursue their dreams. As a result, Carey wrote what was described by author Chris Nickson as her
"most inspirational song" (up until "Hero"), titled "Make It Happen".
Following the success of herself titled debut album, Carey wanted to pen her personal struggles prior to her signing with Columbia. She hoped to give her fans an idea of what her life two years prior and to instill relief or inspiration in them. In the song, Carey sings:
Not more than three short years ago I was abandoned and alone Without a penny to my name So very young and so afraid No proper shoes upon my feet Sometimes I couldn't even eat I often cried myself to sleep
Later in the song, Carey sings:
But still I had to keep on going I struggled and I prayed And finally found my way
From the stanza above, this song is retelling how her faith helped guide her until her career blossomed and expressing to listeners the importance of finding and connecting with God. That isn’t just a faith in herself and her talent, but also the ability to let she go, to pray to God, and to trust in what will happen. 53

5. Anytime You Need a Friend Lyric
Anytime you need a friend song is taken from Music Box Album,
1993. The song draws influence from pop, R&B and gospel music genres.
While the album focused heavily on pop oriented and radio friendly
material, "Anytime You Need a Friend" deviated from the formula,
finishing as the only gospel-infused song onMusic Box. Lyrically, the
song's protagonist tells her love interest that anytime he may need a friend,
she will be there unconditionally for him. Throughout the
song's bridge and climax, critics noted the lyrics altering from those of a
friend, to those of a lover.
All of the people need a friend. A friend makes us always put a smile
on our face and try to find the sunshine in the day. Always being a good
friend in bad times and in good times because friends are the most
important people when bad times happen. Don’t feel lonely. Not being
selfish. Good friend are like stars.

communication whose interpretation depends on knowledge of the context in
which the communication occurs. Deixis means the study linguistics in the

Material The future tense indicates that an action is in the future relative to the speaker or writer. There are no inflected forms for the future in English (nothing like those -ed or -s endings in the other tenses). Instead, the future tense employs the helping verbs will or shall with the base form of the verb: She will leave soon. We shall overcome. The future is also formed with the use of a form of "go" plus the infinitive of the verb: He is going to faint. English can even use the present to suggest the future tense: I am leaving later today." Note that the auxiliary will can be combined with "be" and a progressive form of the main verb to create a sense of the future that does not harbor any hint of insistence (which is possible with the auxiliary alone). For instance, if stress is placed on the word will in "When will you arrive?", the sentence can sound impatient, insistent. In "When will you be arriving?" there is less of that emotional overtone. The construction form of to be + infinitive is used to convey a sense of planning for the future, command, or contingency. There is to be an investigation into the mayor's business affairs. You are to be back on the base by midnight. If he is to pass this exam, he'll have to study harder. To create a sense of imminent fulfillment, the word about can be combined with the infinitive. He is about to die.
Formula of Simple Future Kind sentence Formula Example of Simple Future Tense Positive (+) S + will + bare infinitive You will win S + be(am/is/are)+ going + They are going to come infinitive Negative (-) S + will +not + bare You won’t win infinitive S + be(am/is/are) + not + They aren’t going to going + infinitive come Interogative Will + S + bare invinitive Will you win (?)

So when you feel like hope is gone Look inside you and be strong And you'll finally see the truth That a hero lies in you
It's a long road When you face the world alone No one reaches out a hand For you to hold You can find love If you search within yourself And the emptiness you felt Will disappear

WHEN YOU BELIEVE
Many nights we've prayed With no proof anyone could hear In our hearts a hopeful song We barely understood Now we are not afraid Although we know there's much to fear We were moving mountains long Before we knew we could
[Chorus]
There can be miracles When you believe Though hope is frail It's hard to kill
Who knows what miracles You can achieve When you believe Somehow you will You will when you believe
In this time of fear When prayer so often proves in vain Hope seems like the summer birds Too swiftly flown away
Yet now I'm standing here My heart's so full, I can't explain Seeking faith and speaking words I never thought I'd say [Chorus]
They don't always happen when you ask And it's easy to give in to your fears But when you're blinded by your faith Can't see your way through the rain Honesty will reveal all When hope is very near

TROUGH THE RAIN
When you are caught in the rain With no were to run When you’re distraught And in pain, without anyone and you keep crying out to be saved, but nobody comes and you feel so far away
That you just can't find your way home you can get there alone it's okay what you say is
I can make it through the rain I can stand up once again On my own and I know That I’m strong enough to mend And every time I feel afraid I hold tighter to my faith And I live one more day And I make it through the rain And if you keep falling down Don’t you dare give in You will arise safe and sound So keep pressing on steadfastly And you’ll find what you need to prevail What you say is
[Chorus]
I can make it through the rain I can stand up once again On my own and I know That I’m strong enough to mend And every time I feel afraid I hold tighter to my faith And I live one more day And I make it through the rain
And when the wind blows As shadows grow close Don’t be afraid There’s nothing you can’t face And should they tell you You’ll never pull through Don’t hesitate Stand tall and say
[Chorus]
I can make it through the rain And stand up once again And I live one more day, and I I can make it through the rain Oh yes, you can You’re gonna make it through the rain.

Not more than three short years ago I was abandoned and alone Without a penny to my name So very young and so afraid No proper shoes upon my feet Sometimes I couldn't even eat I often cried myself to sleep But still I had to keep on going Never knowing if I could take it If I would make it through the night I held on to my faith I struggled and I prayed And now I've found my way
[Chorus]
If you believe in yourself enough And know what you want You're gonna make it happen Make it happen And if you get down on your knees at night And pray to the Lord He's gonna make it happen Make it happen
I know life can be so tough And you feel like giving up But you must be strong Baby just hold on You'll never find the answers If you throw your life away I used to feel the way you do Still I had to keep on going Never knowing if I could take it If I would make it through the night I held on to my faith I struggled and I prayed And now I've finally found my way
[Chorus]
I once was lost But now I'm found I got my feet on solid ground Thank you Lord If you believe Within your soul Just hold on tight And don't let go You can make it Make it happen

ANYTIME YOU NEED A FRIEND
If you’re lonely And need a friend And troubles seem like They never end Just remember to keep the faith And love will be there to light the way
[Chorus]
Anytime you need a friend I will be here You’ll never be alone again So don’t you fear Even if you’re miles away I’m by your side So don’t you ever be lonely Love will make it alright
When the shadows are closing in And your spirit diminishing Just remember you’re not alone And love will be there To guide you home [Chorus]
If you just believe in me I will love you endlessly Take my hand Take me into your heart I’ll be there forever baby I won’t let go I’ll never let go
Anytime you need a friend I will be here You’ll never be alone again So don’t you fear Even if you’re miles away I’m by your side So don’t you ever be lonely It’s alright It’s alright
