ix UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background of the Study

It is known that in our daily life, language has an important role. Every human being, society, or nation in this world has their own languages. In the other words, we may say that no human being and no society live without language. We need language to communicate with others in daily life, and the language itself is a medium for people to make communication. It is also used to share or exchange our knowledge, belief, opinions, wishes, threats, commands, thanks, promises, declarations, feelings, etc.

Language is a communication device used for conveying thoughts, ideas, concepts or feelings using sounds, signs, and symbols with meaning. According to

Sapir (1965: 78), language is purely human and not instinctive method of communication ideas, emotion and desire by means of a system voluntarily produced symbols. Language is an important part in human life. It is one of the vital factors that differentiate human from other creatures. As a human being, people need language to express their emotions, ideas, feelings, and thoughts to other people by using sounds, gestures, and signals that have pattern.

Stylistic is a way to express idea through language to show the soul, spirit, and the personality of the writer. Keraf (2006: 116) explains that stylistic has four parts : (1) Stylistic based on the choice of words: formal style, informal style, convertational style; (2) Stylistic based on tones; simple style, powerful style, medium style; (3) Stylistic based on sentence structure: climax, anticlimax,

1 UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA parallelism, antithesis, repetition; (4) Stylistic based on direct or indirect meaning; rhetoric style such as alliteration, euphemism, litotes, hyperbola, anastrophe, paradox and figurative language style such as simile,metaphor, personification,allegory, eponymous and irony).In this study, the writer analyzed one of four parts stylistics that are started by Keraf, that is stylistic based on direct and indirect meaning which is including rhetoric style and figurative language style. Rhetoric style consists of alliteration, litotes, hyperbola, paradox, euphemism, anastrophe and figurative language style consists of similie, metaphor, personification, allegory, eponymouse and irony.

Language style is a method of applied language study which uses textual analysis to make discoveries about the structure and function of language

(Simpson: 1996). It means that style is a method which has structure used on text such as poem, novel, and songs. Style refers to the way in which language is used in a given context by a given personand for a given purpose. Style is able to describe expression in spoken and written forms such as poem, novel and songs.

Style is also as both the characteristic language and form-structure language forming relationship.The aim of speaker expressing his idea through language is to make the hearer understand through the meaning of the language. Meaning is a part of language, and through language we give and take meaning.

According to Keraf (2006: 113), language style is the way of giving expression through a special language which shows the soul and the writer‟s personality (language user). A good language style has three certain elements: honesty, civility, and attraction. Honesty means that we go along with the good rule to use language. Civility is giving appreciation for people who encourage in a

2 UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA conversation by using polite words. The last is attraction that contains variation, humor, appreciation, and imagination.

Literature is always interesting because it is the expression of thought, feeling and attitude in writing or speaking. It is also such a process of observing the social events as living the impact of the reality. Literature comes from society, which is described by the writer in their works. The writer can communicate everything existing on their mind. This imagination is being influenced by the experience of the writer„s life and the existence of life reality.

Waluyo (1987:83, 27) said that language style is often related with literature especially poetry, besides, language style can give more meaning. Language style is a one of unsure in poetry.

From the definition above it can be concluded that style of language has a very tight connection with literature. Song is a kind of literary work that uses figurative language and commonly ambiguously words. Song is one of the ways to express someone‟s feeling and experience. Song writers express their feelings by using a composition of words and languages to create attraction to the song‟s lyrics. Hornby (1995:1133) says that a song is a piece of music with words that is sung. Song lyric is composed by a composer to express his feeling. The composer also uses non-literal meaning to beautify his song lyric. Song lyric is one of interesting works that give the enjoyment by reading or listening to it. It also tells some information expressing deep meaning.

Song becomes a part of human life and stick on their mind because the song is easy to find, and the lyrics can be an interesting way to express the feeling.

3 UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA Song can be found in television, radio or even by downloading from s smartphone. It even can be easier to find in this modern era since internet providing is highly increasing. Everyone now can hear songs while going to a garden, market or coffee shop, etc. Song is made not only to entertain, but also to especially inspire people with the music and the lyric. There are many expressions that song writer make from their song, such as sad song, love song, inspired song and many more that make people easily express the feeling. Sometimes, when someone is sad and feeling down in their life, she or he will listen to the happy song which can change their mood. Has beautiful in meghan trainor‟s song lyric, american singer song language.

In this thesis the researcher analyzes the language styles of Meghan

Trainor‟s song lyrics.Gorys Keraf (2006) classified the language styles based on direct and indirect meaning, they are rhetoric style and figurative language style.

Both classifications consist of several kinds language style where rhetoric consist ofalliteration, euphemism, litotes, hyperbola, anastrophe, paradox, and figurative language style consist of simile, metaphor, personification, allegory, eponymous and irony. The following is some examples of language style based on direct and indirect meaning found in Meghan Trainor‟s song lyrics.

(1) Because you know I‟m all about that bass

Based on the piece of lyric above shows figurative language of metaphor.

Here there is a comparison between “I‟m” and “the bass”. Literally, the word

bass refers to a music instrument which means that it has no similarity with

human. But what the song writer means is that she looks like a bass in the

4 UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA term of size. She just wanted to say that she is fat just like a bass and everyone

knew it.

(2) I walk in like a dime piece

That piece of lyric is categorized as simile, because here there is an expression

of using word like as an element of simile because the song writer compared

herself with the word “like a dime piece”.

(3) I see the magazine workin‟ that photoshop

That piece of lyric is categorized as personification. Literally the magazine

can‟t do working. Here the songwriter personifies the magazine as if they can

do working the Photoshop like human characteristic. This personification

means that people who worked in the company of the magazine had faked

everything by using a photo editor software called Photoshop just to be looked

perfect.

(4) Every inch of you is perfect from the bottom to the top

It contains an expression ofhyperbole, because of the lyric piece shows

exaggerated statement or something sound many or more. We can see the

songwriter used sentence “Every inch of you is perfect from the bottom to the

top” that actually want to show that everyone is perfect just the way they are.

Because it‟s impossible to know the perfectness of someone by measuring the

body inch by inch.

5 UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA Based on explanation above, the researcher analyzes the selected song lyrics of Meghan Trainor. There are some types of figurative language that the songwriter uses in every statement. However, Meghan Trainor surely has certain aims that she wants the listeners to understand. In addition, the writer believes that

Meghan Trainor‟s song lyrics have different language style than other songs lyrics.

Another reason that the writer chooses Meghan Trainor‟s work as the object of this analysis is because of the popularity of her songs. Meghan Elizabeth born in Massachusetts on the 22th December of 1993is an American singer-songwriter who released three independent albums before signing a contract with Epic

Records. She also achieved a breakthrough in 2014 with the single "All About

That Bass" which reached top position on the US Billboard Hot 100.

MeghanTrainor‟s song genre is dominant in bubblegum pop, blue-eyed soul and doo wop which has been recognized with several awards and nominations, including a nomination for Record of the Year and Song of the Year for "All

About That Bass" at the 57th Grammy Awards. Based on the elaboration above, the writer analyzed Meghan Trainor‟s song lyric by using the theory of language style according to GorysKeraf.

1.2 Problems of the Study

Based on the background of the study above, the writer finds some problems that appear in the study and it arises some questions, such as:

1. What types of language styles are used in the Meghan Trainor‟s song lyrics?

6 UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA 2. What type of language style is dominantly used in Megan Trainor‟s song

lyrics?

1.3 Objectives of the Study

1. To describe the types of language style of Meghan Trainor‟s song lyrics.

2. To find out the dominant language style realized in Meghan Trainor‟s song

lyrics.

1.4 Significances of the Study

In this research the writer also expects that she could achieve some

significance for the readers:

1. To enrich our knowledge about the language styles, especially which

language found in the lyrics Meghan Trainor.

2. This analysis can be advantageous to the readers, especially to the students of

English Department who are interested in Stylistics and its aspects.

1.5 Scope of the Analysis

In order to avoid overly broad discussion, it is important to limit the analysis of the specific data that has been selected and to avoid complications and analysis.

So due to those, the researcher makes a limitation of the research to get more specific matter to discuss and in order to help the researcher to get the best results.

Due to those reasons, the researcher decided to choose some selected Meghan

Trainor‟s songs as the analytical object of the research. Those selected songs next will be analyzed based on the language styles according to Gorys “Keraf Diksi

7 UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA dan Gaya Bahasa”. In this research, the researcher focuses and analyzes on five selected song of Meghan Trainor‟s songs in different album they are (1) All About

That Bass, (2) Dear Future Husband (3) Better When I'm Dancin', (4) Me Too, and (5) No.

8 UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA CHAPTER II

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

This chapter is devoted to review the related literature of the research. These reviews are supposed to serve important background information to support the study and discussion of the research. The literature review are consist of stylstica, an overview of language style, songs lyric, relevant of study, and theoretical framework.

2.1 Stylistics

Stylistics, as a branch of linguistics, has become an established field of study and analysis which is usually linked to the study of the style of literary language. Collins English Dictionary (2000) provides a more intricate definition of stylistics as “a branch of linguistics concerned with the study of characteristic choices in use of language, especially literary language, as regards sound, form or vocabulary, made by different individuals or social groups in different situations of use”.

Leech (1981:22) “Stylistic comes from style and linguistic. So, stylistic is a branch of linguistic that studies the style of language and describes the norms and usage of literary language in speech, in various types of written works and in public affairs”.

Still a more elaborate definition of stylistics is suggested by The Fontana

Dictionary of Modern Thought as “A branch of linguistics which studies the characteristics of situational distinctive uses of language, with particular reference to literary language, and tries to establish principles capable of accounting for the

9 UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA particular choices made by individuals and social groups in their use of language”

(1977/1988).

According to Leech (2007: 9) the word „style‟ refers to the way in which language is used in a given context, by a given person, for a given purpose. Style can be defined as the peculiarity, the set of specific features of a text type. It means that style becomes an important element that distinguishes a literary text from another. Since a poet has poetic license, style may always be defined as the peculiarities of the text in which the writer exempt to write.

Coulthard (1985) stylistic in linguistic refers to the identification of patterns of usage in speech and writing., while stylistic in literary studies is usually made for the purpose of commenting on quality and meaning in a text. In other word, stylistic is the study of style used in literary and verbal language and the effect writer or speaker wishes to communicate to the reader. Further, Coulthard said that stylistic devices are represented by two categories; (1) figures of thought, and

(2) figures of speech. Both figures of thought and figures of speech are used in speech with the same aim of intensifying the emotional or logical emphasis that the information transferred should convey.

In other hand, stylistics has a tight relation with language style just like what

BurhanNurgiyantono said (2014:74):

“Stilistika berkaitan erat dengan stile. Bidang garapan stilistika adalah stile, bahasa yang dipakai dalam konteks tertentu, dalam ragam bahasa tertentu .Jika „style‟ di indonesiakan dengan diadaptasikan menjadi „stile‟ atau „gaya bahasa‟, istilah stylistic juga data diperlakukan sama, yaitu diadaptasi menjadi stilistika. Istilah stilistika juga lebih singkat dan efisien daripada terjemahannya yang „kajian gaya bahasa‟ atau „kajian stilistika‟.”

10 UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA 2.2 An Overview of Language Style

Language style is the way a writer expresses his thought through the words written in the pages. Nurgiyanto (2002:296) said that language style is a technique of language that uses figurative meaning. Figurative meaning is a language that used is to tell something without indicating the object.

WhileSumardjo (1998:127) said that stylistic is the way of using the language to raise the power of attraction). From statement above, style of language the way in language to make literature has stronger meaning.

Anwar (2001:119) says, “Gaya bahasa adalah ciri khas seorang penyair ataupun pengarang dalam membuat karya tulis yang menarik untuk menarik pembaca. Biasanya, gaya bahasa menggunakan bahasa kiasan untuk mengekspresikan perasaan tertentu atau mendorong imajinasi yang dikembangkan dalam menciptakan gambar, tujuannya adalah untuk meningkatkan efektivitas, kejelasan, dan kenikmatan dari komunikasi baik tertulis maupun lisan”.

(Language style is the characteristic of a poet or an author in making the attractive writing to attract the reader. Usually, stylistic use figurative language to express a particular feeling or encourage imagination by a well-developed means of creating images, it is purpose being to improve the effectiveness, clarity, and enjoyment of both written and oral communication).

According to Keraf (2010:113) language style is the way of giving expression through a special language which shows the soul and the writer personality (language user). A good language style has three certain elements, there are: honesty, civility, and attractive. Honesty it means that we go along with the good rule to use language. Civility is giving appreciation for people who encouraged in a conversation by using polite words and the third component is

11 UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA attractive. A style that attractive has to contain variation, humor, good understanding, and having imaginations.

From the definitions above, it can be concluded that style of language is the way to show about the expression in many ways.

Keraf (2010:115-129) explained that that language style can be observed from many of viewpoints. Language style can be looked from language aspect and non-language aspect. Based on language aspect, language style distinguished into language style based on word choices, note, sentence structure, and based on direct and indirect meaning.

In this study, the writer analyzed the language styles based on direct and indirect meaning that are started by GorysKeraf. Those classifications are rhetoric language style and figurative language style. Rhetoric style consists of alliteration, euphemism; litotes, hyperbola, paradox, and figurative language style consist of simile, metaphor, personification, allegory, eponymous and irony. The following is a brief description of those language style classifications.

2.2.1 Rhetoric Style

Style is the traditional canon of rhetoric and means the manipulation of language for rhetorical effect. Historically,eras that emphasized style in rhetoric also tended to regard rhetoric as of secondary as importance in public discourse, as the window dressing for logic and more subtantive modes of invention.

When we think of style more broadly as the use of gesture, clothing, decoration, objects, grooming-in short, of style in the more colloquial sense of

“he‟s got style”-then we see a wider and more important role for style as major

12 UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA form a rhetoric. Today, theneed of global capitalism to sustain artificially high level of consumption is largely achieved through a rhetoric of a style. The public must be persuaded to churn its clothing, decoration, grooming style and so forth constantly to keep consumption up, and the most effective way to achieve that end is through creating in people preoccupation with style. Once that happens, thenstyle becomes the major way in which we think about presenting ourselves to others. Style become the way in which people say who they are, who they want to beand who they feel opposed to. Rhetoric style consists of: a. Alliterationis the repetition of a single letter in the alphabet or a combination

of letters. It is just about the easiest form of repetition a poet can use. b. Euphemism is a figure of speech in which a mild or vogue expression is a

substituted for a harsh or blunt one. Euphemis is used to make some idea,

concept, or action, more appealing or as the case may be, less unappeling than

it would be if started directly. In the simple word it can be said the euphemism

is using as the pleasanter, less direct name something thought to be unleasant,

„swirl‟ is used to replace of a phrase uncertain condition. c. Litotesis figure of speech that express thing by modest and graceful. This style

is used to shrink the reality for the purpose of humbling. d. Hyperbole is figurative language by using exaggeration, the function is to

emphasize. This language can make attention to the readers and it is an

exaggeration of object or incident in the life. e. Anastrophe is the deliberate changing of normal word order for emphasis. It

refers to the inversion of the typical word order in a sentence

13 UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA f. Paradox is a language style that contains apparently contradiction with the

fact. Paradox is also all of the things that interesting because the fact.

2.2.1.1 Alliteration

Alliteration is the repetition of the same consonant sound at the begining of words that are in close proximity to each other. This repetition of ound brings attention to the lines in which it is used, and creates more aural rhythim. In poems, alliteration can also refer to repeated consonant sound in the stressed syllables of a line. For example, in Shakespeare‟s sonet 30, we find the line “then can i grieve at grievancesforegone.” In this case ,the “g” sound is alliterative in “grieve”,

“grievances”, and “foregone” starts with “g”.

Alliteration has been used as a literary device in the English language for many hundreds of years, prevalent in works of literature all the way back to

Beowulf, the eight-century Old English Poem.

2.2.1.2 Euphemism

Euphemism is a polite expresion used in place of words or phrases that otherwise might be considered harsh or unpleaseant to hear. Euphemism are used regularly, and there are many example in every language. The examples of euphemism are: passed away instead of died, departed instead of died, ethinic cleansing instead of genocide.

2.2.1.3 Litotesis

Litotesis is an understatement in which a positive statement is expressed by negating ist apposite. This sounds like a strange definition, but a few examples

14 UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA will make the meaning clear. The classic example of litotes is the phrase “not bad.” By negating the word “bad” you‟re saying that something i good, or at least ok. However, in most context it‟s an understatement. For example: “not bad! Not bad at all! The idea here is that someone is actually pretty excited about something –that they think it‟s alot better than just “not bad.”

2.2.1.4 Hyperbole

Hyperbole is fugure of speech in which can author or speaker purposely and obviously exaggerates to an extreme. It is used for emphasis or as way of making a description more creative and homourous. It is important to note that hyperbole is not meant to be taken literally; the audience know it‟s an exaggeration. For example: that suitcase weighed a ton! In this example, the speaker claims that a suitcase weiged a ton-two thousand pounds! Of course, this does not mean that the suitcase literally weighed a ton. The speaker is using hyperbole in order to emphasized that the suitcase feels very heavy.

2.2.1.5 Anastrophe

Anastrophe is a schene in which the writer invert the words in a sentence, saying, or idea. By invert, we meant that the words are written out of order. Poets often use anastrophe in order to help maintain rhytim or a ryhme scheme. Though the use of anastrophe is less common in prose, it is often used in order to create a sense of depth or wisdom to the words being written. Example of anastrophe:

„powerful you have become; the dark side i sense in you.‟

15 UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA 2.2.1.6 Paradox

Paradox is a statement that, despite apparently sound reasoning from true premises, leads to an apparently self-contradictory or logically unacceptable conclusion. A paradox involve contradictory yet interrelative elements that exist simultaniously and persist over time. Some paradoxes are known to be invalid arguments but are still valuable in promoting critical thinking. For example, consider a situation in which his father and his son are driving down down the road. The car chrases into a tree and the father is killed.

2.2.2 Figurative Language Style

Figurative language tyle is language that uses words expression with a meaning that is different from the literal interpretation. When a writer use literal language, he or she simply stating the facts are they are. Figurative language, in comparison, uses exaggeration or alterations to make a particular linguistic point.

Figurative language style is very common in poetry, but is also used in prose and nonfiction writing. Figurative language style consist of: a. Simile means a comporison between two object using like, than, or as. The

word „‟ smile‟‟ and „‟ similar‟‟ come from the same latin word, similess,

which mean „‟ like‟‟ a smile diffrent from methaphor by keeping the three

items separate and asking the audience to find similar features intead of saying

they are the some thing.Similes are introduced by like or as a comparison

between two object using like or as. b. Metaphor is a mapping between two dominas. Methapor may be simple, that

is may occur in the single isolated comparison or large methapor may fuction

16 UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA as the controlling image of the whole work. Methapor is an analogy identyfing

one object with another and ascribing to the first object one more of the

quality of the second. c. Allegory can be said to be an extended metaphor. Allegory is a comparison on

a deeper note. When compared to metaphor, allegory can be longer passages

of comparison. An allegory, which is a substitute for another object or action,

includes more fine points than a metaphor. d. Eponymousis people‟s name used to naming place, invention or certain thing

caused by the role of the public figure in object that named e. Personification is the projection of characteristics that normally belong only to

humans onto inanimate objects, animals, deities, or forces of nature. These

characteristics can include verbs of actions that only humans do or adjectives

that describe a human condition. The characteristics can also be emotions,

feelings, or motives given to objects incapable of thought. f. Irony is figure of speech when an expression used in the opposite of the

thought in the speaker‟s mind, thus conveying a meaning that contradicts the

literal definition.

2.2.2.1 Simile

2.2.2.2 Metaphor

Metaphor is a figure of speech that makes an implicit, implied, or hidden comparison between two things that are unrelated,but which share some common characteristics in other words, a resemblance of two contradictory or different object is made based on a single or some common characteristics.

2.2.2.3 Personification

Personification is a figure of speech in which a thing-an idea or an animal- is given human atributes. The non-human objects are portrayed in such a waythat we feel they have the ability to act like human beings. For example, when we say,

“the sky weeps,” we are giving the sky the ability to cry, which is a human quality. Thus we can say that the sky has been personified in the given sentence.

Motor company” refers to Henry Ford. Recent usage, especially in the recorded- music industry, also allows eponymous to mean “named after its central character or central”.

2.2.2.6 Irony

Irony is a figure of speech in which words are used in such a way that their intended meaning is different from the actual meaning of the words. It may also be a situation that ends up in quite a different way than what is generally anticipated. In simple words , it is a difference between appearance and reality.

19 UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA For example, the name of Britain‟s biggest dog was “tiny”, you laugh at a person who slipped stepping on a banana peel, and the next thing you know, you‟ve slipped too, the butter is as soft as a slab of marble.

2.3 The Song Lyrics

Song is a composition for voice or voices, performed by singing. A choral or vocal song may be accompanied by musical instruments, or it may be unaccompanied, as in the case of a cappella songs. According to Oxford

4.1 Data Display

It has been explained in chapter 3 that data displayis process of organizing, compressing and assembling the data by showing the visual data in form of chart, graphic, diagram or matrix that allows conclusion drawing. Bellows are the tables of data display which contain the data identification.

33 UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA 4.2 Data Analysis

It has been decided by the writer of this thesis that for making this thesis authentic, this section the data in a from Meghan Trainor songlyricsare going to beanalyzed by using Keraf (2006).

4.2.1 Rhetorica language style

Rhetorica language style is Rhetoric is the science of questioning how to seek truth by dialogue as a technique. Because the truth dialogue can arise by itself.The purpose of rhetoric is persuasion, which is meant in persuasion in this relationship is the conviction of the hearer of the truth of the idea of what the speaker is talking about. This means that the purpose of rhetoric is to foster mutual understanding that develops cooperation in fostering peace in the life of society through the activity of speech.

4.2.1.1 Alliteration

Alliteration is the repetition of a single letter in the alphabet or a combination of letters. It is just about the easiest form of repetition a poet can use.

The following is some examples of alliteration for better understanding.

(1) That’s gold, show me some respect (A4)

The lyricsThat’s gold, show me some respect from song title Me Toois bellowing to Alliteration. As defined that alliteration is repetition of usually consonant sounds in two more neighboring words or syllables. The lyrics of

“That’s gold, show me some respect” contains the repetition of consonant sounds of S.

34 UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA (2) But I can shake it, shake it like I am supposed to do (B10)

This lyricsBut I can shake it, shake it like I am supposed to dofrom song title All About That Bass also contains the repetition of consonant sounds of S as in the word of shake which repeat twice and the word supposed.

(3) Bout that bass, no treble (B2)

This lyricsBout that bass, no trebledofrom song title All About That

BassThe repetition consonant sound in this lyrics is the consonant of B sound as in the words of Bout, Bass,andTreble.

4.2.1.2 Litotes

Litotes is figure of speech that express thing by modest and graceful. This style is used to shrink the reality for the purpose of humbling. The following is the example of litotes.

(1) I ain’t no size two (B9)

This lyricsyeah, its pretty clear, I ain’t no size twodoes related with what the song talked about. This lyric is in her song entitled “All about that bass” in which the song writer expressed about her feeling for her size of body. This song is specially refers to girls who lost their confident because of fat body. The lyrics of

“I ain’t no size two” is a kind of the way she expressed that she realizes she‟s fat but it actually did not bother her at all. and is referred to fat by Meghan is well built is the body desired by the women and coveted by each partner, and indirectly

Meghan express it and suport the listener especially woman fat with big butt.

35 UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA (2) Here’s a few things (C23)

The lyrics of Here’s a few things you’ll need to know if you wannabe song entitled Dear future husband in this song is including of litotes. However, this lyric means that there are the things that man probably should understand about the woman. But the word a few things never means that they‟re really a few or a little. The word a few things is used just to give a simple impression because the in the reality, there are many things that a man must understand about woman.

(3) I never learn to cook (C15)

This lyrics I never learning to cook song entitled Dear future husband is just used in order just to give a humble impression. She said that she never learn to cook does not always mean that she rally never. The lyric just perhaps means that she is not good in cooking as good as best chef who can serve delicious food. and with humility in accordance with the litotes language style which means humble in this sentence I never learn to cook, Meghan revealed that he never cooks, because every woman must be able to cook even though not like the famous chefs with super delicious cuisine.

(4) Even if I was wrong (C31)

The lyric even if was wrong song entitled Dear future husband is including in a context of litotes as this statement showed about a humbling. The statement of “even if I was wrong” is kind of realization that nobody is perfect even the best human can possibly do wrong. So the humbling statement in this lyric might signed that this is a kind of litotes language style.and in accordance with the notion of rhetoric style of questioning about how to speak that has appeal and

36 UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA charm, so that people who listen to it can understand and aroused feelings in accordance with that contained in the style of Litotes language that shows humility and in this sentence also provides motivation for listener, with words that make the listener interested.

(5) If I was you, I’d wanna be me, too (A25)

This lyrics If I was you, I’d wanna be me, too song entitled Dear future husband In a context called litotes because the authors compare your '' you '' and

'' me '' where in you words it shows a very great person that I want to be like him by expressing his desire to mean it with pride that he is a great person indirectly or by humbling himself but with a view to boast.

4.2.1.3 Hyperbola

Hyperbole is figurative language by using exaggeration, the function is to emphasize. This language can make attention to the readers and it is an exaggeration of object or incident in the life. For better understanding about hyperbola, the following is some examples of it.

(1) I don’t need nobody else (A24)

This lyrics I don’t need nobody else song lilted Me Too this statement might been classified in hyperbola language style since this lyric is overstate. Human is a social creature which lives in a society and always need other‟s help. So due to those, the statement which declare that “I don’t need nobody else” does not mean as literally as it is. This statement might be used by the song writer to express that she could be an independent girl and show them that she is strong enough.

37 UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA (2) Every inch of you is perfect from the bottom to the top (B36)

This lyrics Every inch of you is perfect from the bottom to the top song entitledAll About That BassIt contains an expression of hyperbole, because of the lyric piece shows exaggerated statement or something sound many or more.

We can see the songwriter used sentence “Every inch of you is perfect from the bottom to the top”that actually want to show that everyone is perfect just the way they are. Because it‟s impossible to know the perfectness of some by measuring the body inch by inch.

(3) Show the world you’ve got that fire (fire)(E9)

The lyrics Show the world you’ve got that firesong entitled Better When I

Am Dancing is including hyperbola since showing the thing to the world does not mean we show that thing to the entire world. It is just an expression which means that we are able to do thing which people assume we cannot do. It is a kind of expression that we should prove ourselves to those who have doubt with us.

(4) My one and only all my life (C4)

ThislyricsMy one and only all my lifesong entitled Dear Future Husband refers to the meaning that a man who loves a woman will always be with him faithfully. The sentence also contains an exaggerating meaning that is contained in the phrase "the only on 'and' 'in my life'’ 'in accordance with the Hyperbola language style that the man will not cheat his girl with another girl forever.

However, these lyrics contain expression hyperbole because the lyrics just meant that the man will always be with him all his life.That does not mean that the man is the only thing his girl has.

38 UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA (5) Buying groceries (C10)

This lyrics Buying groceries song entitled Dear Future Husband No doubt, this is a kind of Hyperbolaexpression. This lyric refers to couple who love each other and they can buy anything they want in groceries. So, the sentence of

“buying groceries” does not meant that they are buying the groceries, but they are just buying the things that are sold in groceries.

(6) Even when I am acting crazy (C36)

This lyricsEven when I am acting crazy song entitled Dear Future

Husband actually means a man must understand her anytime even in bad condition though. It does not really mean literally that the girl goes mad, the crazy thing here is because in this condenses the woman who has to be understood with a high selfish so that's a kind of Hyperbolaexpression that is contained in the phrase i act crazy.

(7) I’ll be the perfect wife (C9)

This lyrics I’II be the perfect wifesong entitled Dear Future HusbandThis statement is just over exaggerated. No one is perfect perfectly. So the meaning of these lyrics is that the girl is always trying to be best wife she can and she is going to do anything to give her best as a wife. However, a perfect human does never exist which means a perfect wife does not either.

(8) But I can write a hook (C16)

This lyrics but i can write a hook song entitled Dear Future

Husbandactually still contains ambiguity meaning because it does not clear about what write a hook means. Generally, the world “hooks “does not have any

39 UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA relation semantic with the verb of “write”. But however, this lyric has any relation with the previous line that said “I never learn to cook”, with means that the girl want to tell that even she never learn to cook, but she still write a hook. The song writer just wants to show a contrary statement just to give a defense for she never learns to cook. However, his defense by using the statement “But I can write a hook “is including of hyperbola expression.

(9) Tell me I am beautiful each and every night (C27)

This lyrics Tell me I am beautiful each and every nightsong entitled Dear

Future Husband contains a Hyperbola expression since she hoped that the man would admit that her girl is beautiful each and every night. Regardless of people have many arguments about what the characteristics of beautiful are, but to tell a girl that she is beautiful each and every night is kind of over statement. True love may admit this statement, but however it is a hyperbola expression because in reality no one is perfect. A girl will never always beautiful each and every night, it is just the man who love her unconditionally will always see that girl is beautiful every day.

(10) Go ahead, get crazy (E6)

The lyrics Go ahead, get crazy song entitle Better When I Am Dancingare a kind of Hyperbola. Because the statement of get crazy doesn‟t mean becoming a crazy person. It means like an invitation or persuasion to do the happy thing. The song in which this lyric contains, tells about how it is happy to dance. So that, the world crazy means doing dance to make happy.

40 UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA (11) And you slay that solo (E19)

This lyrics and you slay that solo song entitle Better When I Am

DancingThe world slay refers to an act of killing. But in this lyric, the world slay is linked with the world of solo which means loneliness. So the lyric may have a meaning of how a person solving her loneliness. However, the statement of “slay that solo” is a kind of Hyperbola expression.

(12) And you make your hips away (E23)

This lyricsand you make hips awaysong entitle Better When I Am

Dancingis in the context of dancing. It does not mean someone is dropping the hips away but it just about how they do dance by moving their hips. So this line may include of Hyperbola expression.

4.2.1.4 Paradox

Paradox is a language style that contains apparently contradiction with the fact. Paradox is also all of the things that interesting because the fact therein.

(1) They can’t do like I do (A20)

This lyricsthey can’t do like i do song entitled Me Toocontains a Paradox language style since it contains two contrary worlds for some purpose. “They can’t do”and“I do” is the two contrary words which mean that “they” are not able to do a thing while “I” is able to do a thing.

(2) Even when I am acting crazy tell me everything is alright (C53)

The two contrary conditions in this lyric are“I am acting crazy”and

“everything is alright”. Song entitled Dear future husband Those two words

41 UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA have a contradictive meaning because the statement of “crazy” does mean that everything is alright.

4.2.1.5 Euphemism

Euphemism is a figure of speech in which a mild or vogue expression is a substituted for a harsh or blunt one. Euphemism is used to make some idea, concept, or action, more appealing or as the case may be, less unappealing than it would be if started directly. In the simple word it can be said the euphemism is using as the pleasanter, less direct name something thought to be unpleasant,

„swirl‟ is used to replace of a phrase uncertain condition.

(1) Don’t worry about your size (B17)

This lyrics don’t worry about your size song entitle All Abote that bassThis is a kind of Euphemism because she used a polite way to state about fat which in this lyric she used the word size. However, this lyric means that a girl should not worry that they will not be a beautiful girl if they are fat.

(2) I know you think you’re fat (B34)

This lyrics i know you thnk you’re fat song entitle All Abote that basscontainsEuphemism expression since the world fat usually indicates an ugliness which is mostly perceived by the girl. But in this lyric, it is not said that

“I know you think you’re ugly” instead “I know you think you’re fat”.

(3) Dear future husband (C1)

This lyrics dear future husband song entitled dear futuure husbandactually has a broad meaning which needs an extra explanation. However, the statement of

42 UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA “dear future husband” is a very polite way to address the man who would become the husband one day. This politeness in mentioning dear future husband may be categorized as Euphemism expression.

In this part the writer suggests that research about figurative expression can use different theories with the same data and all types of language style in

Meghan Trainor‟s song lyrics can be discussed totally.

English students who to study more about language style.
