Abstract :
Ghanaro, Mohammad. 2021. Figurative Language in The Statler Brothers Song Lyrics for Literature Teaching. Final project, English Study Program, Faculty of Language and Arts Education, Universitas PGRI Semarang, Advisor I: Dr. Nur Hidayat, M.Hum., Advisor II: Dr. Jafar Sodiq, S.Pd., M.Pd. Keywords: Figurative Language, The Statler Brothers, Lyric, Literature Teaching Figurative language and its meaning has always been an important part in the literary work. This study aims to identify the types of figurative language used in The Statler Brothers? selected song lyrics, to find the meaning of the figurative language used in the selected song lyrics, and to elaborate the contribution of the study for literature teaching. The research design of this study is qualitative research. In data collection of the study, the writer has analyzed The Statler Brothers? selected songs namely ?Bed of Rose?s?, ?New York City?, ?Flowers on the Wall?. ?Elizabeth?. ?Do You Know You Are My Sunshine?, ?Pictures?, and ?We Got Paid by Cash?. The writer uses Kennedy?s theory to classify the types of figurative language in The Statler Brothers? selected songs. The songwriter uses hyperbole to deliver the idea and feeling effectively which is suitable to Kempson?s theory. The songs can be used as alternative learning material to literature teaching. The writer suggests that the students should learn more about the meaning and the nature of words and sentences. This study is expected to be an alternative reference to the next researcher to explain more about figurative language.
