Humans are blessed with mouth to speak; humans also have language for their
everyday communication tools. It cannot be denied that language is indeed the
most important thing in life, because with language, humans can understand each
other through exchanging verbal messages that are coming out of the mouths of
each interlocutor. This research is about figurative language found in Arctic
Monkeys? songs. The writer used qualitative approach by descriptive method
using the lyrics from Arctic Monkeys? songs. The writer uses the theory from
Lakoff and Johnson in this term paper. It is figured that most songs from the
Arctic Monkeys have hyperbole, metaphor, simile, personification, sarcasm,
rhetorical question, and idiomatic expression, with metaphor dominated most of
the songs.
