Figurative languages refer to words and Songologist and popular song specialist groups of words that exaggerate or alter the Philip Tagg defined the notion in the light usual meanings of the component words. of sociocultural and economical aspects, The most commonly used types of popular song unlike art song, popular song figurative language are metaphor, simile,

122 personification and hyperbole. In each of literal meanings, but also suggest reasons those types of language, the author for attributing meanings.” implicitly or explicitly compares something As an example, the sentence "The to something else (Rhody, Lisa M.,2012) ground is thirsty", this sentence is using figurative language means allowing for a figurative language but to recognize the similar beautiful failure – not a failure of figurative language in this sentences we language, but a necessary inclination toward need to know that "ground" word has a form that involves a diminishing of literal meaning because the ground is not language’s possible meanings alive and therefore neither needs to drink Figurative language provides new ways nor feel thirsty. For the people who of looking at the world, it always makes a understand about the figurative languages, comparison between different they will interpreted this sentence that the things.Figurative language affect attitudes ground is dry and need to water. positively across context (Kronrod, A., & Using figurative language is not only Danziger, S. 2013) Figurative language needs an interpretation but also familirity compares two things that are different in between the speaker and listener or between enough ways so that the similarities are author and the reader, because an example interesting, unique and surprising. Keraf in the statement "When I first saw her, my (2007: 19) said that: “whenever you soul began to quiver" this sentence could describe something by comparing it with present some interpretations to the reader or something else, you are using figurative to the listener, because these sentences may language.” describe infatuation, panic, or something Masters of figurative language can else.

If it is translated literally lyric, they are explained as follows: word-for-word, it will often be completely 1. Metaphor misunderstood. Often linguistic devices Metaphoor is a kind of such as irony are used (Farías, D. I. H., figurative language that compare two Sulis, E., Patti, V., Ruffo, G., & Bosco, C. things, two pobjects,two people etc. 2015). Although, there are always Example: He has a heart of stone, you possibilities for the readers to analyze, are my sunshine. understand and translate it correctly. Also Perrine (1974:26), states that: 2. Personification “The human mind requires a cognitive Personification is a kind of figurative framework, made up of memories of all the languages that gives human characteristics possible meanings that might be available to inanimate objects, animals, or ideas. to apply to the particular words in their Examples: The sun greeted me this context. This set of memories not only will morning. The sky was full of dancing stars. give prominence to the most common or

3. Dispersonification of structuralisms: pure structuralism, genetic Dispersonification is kind of figurative structuralism, and dynamic structuralism. language that gives the attributes of Pure structuralism focuses on the intrinsic inanimate thing to animate thing. elements of literary works, this approach is Example: He is calm like a statue. taken as a more objective approach compared to the other approaches because this approach is just based on the literary 4. Hyperbole / Overstatement work and intrinsic alements of literary work Hyperbole is a kind of figurative itself. languages that exaggerate and emphasizes a Genetic structuralism does not only point and more than fact. This statement can analyze intrinsic elements of literary work be ridiculous or funny. Hyperboles can be but also the background of the author and added to fiction to add color and depth to a the social condition where the literary work character. created or called extrinsic elements. Example: He will die for your love. Dinamic structuralism analyzes not only analyze the intrinsic elements and 5. Repetition extrinsic elements of a literary work but Repetition is a kind of figurative also the relation of the literary work to the language that repeat word(s) or group words author, reality, literary work, and the in the sentence to emphasize and create a readers. poetic or rhytmic effect.

Onomatopoeia Using pure structuralism needs a deep Onomatopoeia is a kind of figurative understanding about all of the intrinsic languages that imitate sounds used to refer elements or structures of a literary work, to the objects, living things, or actions that because every intrinsic elements or they are associated with, and onomatopoeia structures in a literary work has a relation to refers to the property of such words. one another and structure itself will give a Example: Plak, plak, plak, plak, everyone meaning if it is related to the other claps their hands for his performance. structures. These statements are also supported by 5. Pure Structuralism Jean Peaget ( 1970: 16), he states that: Structuralism is the way of thinking “There are three important components related to perceptions and structural of struturalism. First, it emphasizes the descriptions. Before the writer explains wholeness of a structure of element; more about the pure structuralism, firstly he compare the common saying that the whole would introduce the structuralisms is more than the sum of the parts. Second, generally. This explanation will help the structures are subject to transformations, readers to differentiate the structuralisms the rules governing them are generally. Generally, there are three kinds simultaneously structured and structuring.

Third, structures are self-regulating, meaning of words and the meaning of the bounding and maintaining the system in way they are combined, which took together question”. from the core of meaning or the starting Using pure structuralism to analyze a point from which the whole meaning of a literary work also must be present the particular utterance is constructed. literary facts about the object of our The figurative languages found in the research and need a general understanding lyric are counted by using Subana’s about everything related to the topic of our frequency of cumulative formula as cited in research because it will help the writer to (Oktoma, & Mardiyono, 2013, p. 79). It can create a more objective research and will be seen as follow: give deep understanding to the readers of our research. FK rel =

FK = Frequency of cumulative METHOD ΣF = Frequency of total The method that used in this research is FK rel = Frequency of relative cumulative descriptive method that is a method to describe, explain and validating of the study. This method is taken because the RESULT AND DISCUSSION After writer analyzed the data, it was writer will describe everything related to the found seven kinds of figurative language in topic of this research. the lyric. The data in this research is consists of a. Stanza 1 one selected song by Lionel Richie where Line 1 My love, the song is talking about a couple that try to Line 2 There's only you in my life convince and declare their “Endless Love” Line 3 The only thing that's bright to one another as the primary data, and as According to the writer the author in the secondary data writer collects some this stanza used two kinds of figurative related literatures to support this research. languages, they are hyperbole and In collecting data the writer uses the dispersonification. library research to support this research Hyperbole can be found in line two. In because the data obtained from written this line the author has made an material that is closely related to the topic. overstatement by using the word “only The steps in collecting data are described as you”. The word “only” means that there is follows: nothing, no one else besides. And in this 1. The writer listened the song carrefully line the world “only” means the special girl and try to understand the content related he loved. So the usage of the word “only” in to figurative language. the line “there is only you in my life” 2.

The writer collected and read some attention and to be loved besides “you” in related literature and references to his life even the author thought that there support this research. are only them in this world. In this research the writer will use pure Dispersonification can be found in line structuralism approach to analyze the kinds three because the author used an inanimate of figurative languages and the meanings of attribute “bright” in the line. The word figurative languages used in “ Endless “bright” means that there is a light that can Love” song lyric. James R. Hurford, be produced by a thing and in this line the Brendan Heasley and Michael B. Smith author made “you” as if a thing which can (2007) stated that pure structuralism is the produce a light. It is impossible to a human study of meaning. Also Kate Kearns (2011) to produce a light, like a sun gives his light stated that pure structuralism deals with the to the earth. In this line word “bright”

125 means someone who can make his life being author used the word “step” in this line better and the best girl among the other because the author wants to show that “you” girls. Fall in love sometimes made someone have stayed in his heart so wherever he is like a fool; they would attribute everything and even though he stay far from “you” he beautiful and everything impossible to make will not stop to love “you”, he will not stop someone whom they loved happy.

Stanza 3 line the author wants “you” to know that Line 1 And i (i-i-i-i-i),i want to there is not anyone as best as “you”, “you” share is the only one who can make his life being Line 2 All my love with you better.

In Line 2 You're every breath that i the line the author repeated the word “i”, the take author repeated the word “i” in this line Line 3 You're every step i make because the author wanted to emphasize that In this stanza the author used two he really loves her, his love only for her. metaphors,they can be found in line two and e. Stanza 4 in line three. Line 1 And your eyes, your eyes, The line you’re every breath that i take your eyes is a metaphor because in this line “you” is Line 2 They tell me how much you compared to the breath. Breath is an care activity to draw on some air, in this line the Line 3 Ooh yes, you will always be word “breath” means that “you” is very Line 4 My “ Endless Love” important in his life, “you” gave him alive, In this stanza there are three kinds of he cannot life without you. So in this line figurative languages. They are repetition, the author used the word breath in this line personification and hyperbole. because the author wants to show that “you” Repetition can be found in the line one, is always in the mind of the author, there is in this line the author repeated your eyes not activity without remember “you” words or phrase. The author repeated the everywhere the author is and everytime the words because the author wants to author breathing he never forget “you”. emphasize that he knew that “you” really Even, the author could not life without care and love the author by seeing the eyes “you”. of “you”. The line three is metaphor because in The personification is used by the this sentece the author compared “you” to author in the line two. In this line an the steps. Step is an activity to move up to inanimate thing eye is given an animate the other places and the meaning of the attribute “tell”. Eyes is a part of our body word “step” in this line means the space or that used to see or a tool to see but in this the distance. In love relationship sometimes stanza the author stated that “eyes” can talk we have to stay away from someone we and tell about something by talking, in this loved but love is not about distance, love is line means a place where he found and he about heart so the distance will not be a knew that “you” loves and cares about him. problem in a love relationship, distance Eyes sometimes can be used to know the cannot stop the love in heart because love is feeling, the mood, and the inside of people not only about physical contact but also love although they did not tell anything to us. A is about feeling. So according to writer the wise word stated that: “To know that

Lots of people separated or Hyperbole can be seen in line four, this divorced even though they have stayed line become hyperbole because the author together for a long times. So in this line the used the word “endless” in the line, this author used the word “begun” to show that word means that have no ending. The author “you” is the only girl who can make him used this word to exaggerate the meaning of understand and feeling the truly love, the the line. In this line the word “endless” author also wants to show that loving and means as long as his life. When people had having “you” made him feel that he just someone whom they love very much they started his life and he will keep love “you” will not willing their love and their forever. happiness have ending. “To be loved is to A pleonasm is used in the line four live forever in someone's heart.” – because in this line there is additional Anonymous.

Stanza 6 emphasize and believed that he and “you” Line 1 And love, oh, love feel the same love, same feeling and same Line 2 I'll be a fool direction. Line 3 For you, I'm sure In the line two the author used a Line 4 You know I don't mind, Oh, hyperbole to exaggerate the line, this line you know I becomes hyperbole because the usage of the don't mind word “begun” in the line, we all knew that There are three figurative languages in everyone start to life since they were born. this stanza, repetitions can be found in the The word “begun” mean that something is line one and in the line four, and hyperbole just started, this line means that the author can be found in the line two. just found and just felt his truly love.
