Abstract

ABSTRACT Figurative language is a phrase, word, or sentence used in implicit forms to create stylistic delivery or expressive intended meaning. It is an utterance that departs from its literal meaning and can be found in the simple form of literary works such as verse in song lyrics. This study's object was an album entitled Folklore by Taylor Swift. The aims of this study were (1) to find out the types of figurative language, (2) to find out the meaning of figurative language (3) to disseminate the figurative language in the album Folklore at SMA Negeri 2 Ogan Ilir. This study utilized descriptive qualitative research. In collecting the data, this study searched the songs and the scripts from the Folklore album booklet. The data were classified into some types of figurative language based on Kennedy's theory (1983). The results showed that 163 lyrics from 17 songs utilized 17 types of figurative language. It also highlighted that the dominant figurative language types were metaphor with 61 instances (37.42%), simile with 23 instances (14.11%), and hyperbole with 17 instances (10.43%). Figurative language expressions found in Folklore were used to give an intense delivery, extended explanation, and meaningful lyrics that make each song's story lively and exciting to listen to. The dissemination of figurative language at SMA Negeri 2 Ogan Ilir showed that the twelfth-grade students were already familiar with figurative language in the Indonesian context. It was easier for them to interpret the meaning correctly, but it was hard to classify it precisely since they experienced language barriers.
