Abstract

The purpose of this research is to present the figurative language used in songs by Lady Gaga‟s from A Star is Born Album, in the album there are 19 songs but the writer only analyzes three of them because the three songs are the most popular compared to the others and there are used many figurative languages. The three songs The writer analyses are “Is That Alright?, Remember Us This Way and I‟ll Never Love Again”. The thesis described type of figurative language and meaning from Lady Gaga‟s songs. From the analysis, there were six types of figurative languages: they were paradox, simile, hyperbole, rhetoric, metaphor, and symbol. The most frequently used is hyperbole because so many words that exaggerated the meanings, as we know hyperbole is an expression to make something looks bigger or greater than it really is, According to Kennedy, X. J. (1983:687) stated that the word hyperbole is derived from Greek language, that are „hyper‟ which means „over‟ and „ballien‟ means to „throw‟. To support the analysis, some type of figurative language and other related references were used. There were also some related theories about figurative language used to support the analysis. The writer used theory from Kennedy, Peter, Hayati & Hadiwardoyo, Tjahjono and Masruri. This research highly expected to give contribution to the reader or the next researcher to know about type figurative language, meaning of figurative language, and to identify figurative language easier.
