Abstract :
Songs are a communication media between songwriters and listeners. Songwriters share their attitude, feeling, and emotion by expressing them in song lyrics to listeners, either implicitly or explicitly. This research aims to analyze how songwriters express their attitudes and how strategies of attitudinal choices are used in song lyrics. The method used is descriptive qualitative by directly observing the song lyrics. The data source for this research is the song lyrics from The Greatest Showman Soundtrack. The data in this research are words, phrases and clauses which are then analyzed using an appraisal system, especially attitudes, developed by Martin and White (2005) to show the attitudinal evaluation in song lyrics. The results of this research are that from 65 data, affect dominates more than judgment and appreciation, it means that songwriters tend to use their personal feelings in songs. In terms of polarity, the songwriters express their attitude by positive and negative, positive attitudes dominate over negative attitudes. The strategy of attitudinal choices is used by songwriters are mostly explicit or inscribed.
