The research on Miley Cyrus's album Endless Summer Vacation, Plastic Hearts, Younger Now gives us a clear look at how she uses phrasal verbs in her lyrics. The study found a total of 113 phrasal verbs across 28 songs, with 78 of them being transitive and 35 intransitive. This shows a strong preference for transitive phrasal verbs, which describe actions that directly affect something. This choice helps create clear and vivid pictures in the lyrics, making it easier for listeners to connect with the songs. By focusing on actions that impact objects, the lyrics become more lively and relatable, enhancing the overall listening experience. In this research, The relatively small sample size of songs analyzed might also limit the generalizability of the findings to other artists or genres. Therefore, for the future researcher could expanding the scope of research to include a larger and more diverse sample of songs could also strengthen the generalizability of the findings and contribute to a more comprehensive analysis of phrasal verbs in music.
