Abstract

This study aims to analyze lexical cohesion in the lyrics of Delorians' songs using Hasan and Halliday's theory of lexical cohesion (1976) and Brown and Yule's discourse analysis (1983). By thoroughly examining six selected songs, this research seeks to identify patterns of cohesive devices such as repetition, synonymy, superordinates, and general words, and understand their impact on the narrative of the lyrics.The research methodology employed is a qualitative descriptive analysis. The song lyrics were analyzed using the theoretical framework of lexical cohesion and discourse analysis to identify and categorize the types of cohesion present. Data analysis was conducted based on Hasan and Halliday's theory and the principles of discourse analysis according to Brown and Yule.The results of the analysis reveal that repetition is the most dominant element across all songs, significantly contributing to the thematic and emotional cohesion of the lyrics. Words and phrases like "cry," "love," and "baby" are repeated multiple times to emphasize the central themes of love, heartbreak, and emotional struggle. While synonymy is used less frequently than repetition, it plays a crucial role in enriching the lyrical content. Superordinates provide broader categories that help structure the lyrical content, whereas general words help unify various elements of the lyrics, making the narrative more coherent and relatable. The combination of these cohesive devices not only enhances the thematic cohesion of the lyrics but also strengthens their emotional impact.
