Linguistics is the science that describes and patterns of the sound system, the words and morphemes and the phrases and sentences, that is, the structure of a language. Linguistics has some branches, including semantics. Semantics studies meaning of the words, sentences, and symbols. Semantics constructs a relation between adjoining words and clarifies the sense of a sentence, whether the meanings of words are literal or figurative. According to Hurford and Heasly (1983) Semantics is the study of meaning in language. According Griffiths (2006:15) Semantics is the study of word meaning and sentence meaning, abstracted away from contexts of use. Semantics used to understand the expression of people through language. Semantics usually use in daily language to show the understanding about the issue with connotation. Semantics discusses several elements of meaning, one of them is figurative language. Figurative language, has several types, including simile, metaphor, personification, onomatopoeia, oxymoron, hyperbole, allusion, idiom, imagery, symbolism, alliteration, assonance, consonance, metonymy, synecdoche, irony, sarcasm, litotes, pun, anaphora, tautology, understatement.

A metaphor is a figure of speech that describes an object or action in a way that isn’t literally true, but helps explain an idea. According Abrams (1999:97) metaphor is a word or expression that in literal usage denotes one kind of thing is applied to distinctly different kind of thing, without asserting a comparison. Metaphor describes sentences with other words, but with the similar meaning. 2 This research focuses on metaphor used in Selena Gomez’s songs.

  • Ranking Selena Gomez Songs: Worst to Best
    Ranking Selena Gomez Songs: Worst to Best Selena Gomez is one of the biggest pop stars of this day and age. I personally have been a big fan of hers for years now, and while I don’t love every single song she’s released I still like the majority of them. For this ranking I decided to only do songs after she stopped singing with her band The Scene and I have also not added in “We Don’t Talk Anymore” with Charlie Puth. I had a lot of fun putting this list together and figuring out where her Songs ranked for me. Read on for more! “Birthday” A bit repetitive and kind of annoying. Sorry, Selena. “B.E.A.T” I’m not a big fan of the music, the lyrics, or really the way Selena sings this song. Still, the lyrics are alright, I guess. “Music Feels Better” A pretty good song, but a bit repetitive. “Body Heat” The lyrics are alright, but I think the beat of this song really pulls it together. “Like A Champion” Eh. The lyrics are alright, but Selena’s voice sounds beautiful singing it so that’s a plus. “Revival” The talking at the beginning is a bit strange, but the song is still good nonetheless. It has a good beat and the lyrics are really good as well. “Me And My Girls” This song is a bit edgy and it talks about girl power which I’m always down for. “Save The Day” Pretty catchy. “Write Your Name” This song about “writing your name” and being a permanent part of someone’s life is catchy.
