Abstract

Language style enhances the expression and effect of certain words through linguistic means such as sound, vocabulary and grammar which are the basis of rhetoric, namely using language on the grounds of specific needs in the form of communicative purposes, situations, objects, and so on. This study aims to describe the style of language in songs with different themes.

This research was conducted with a qualitative descriptive research method. The data collection technique was carried out with documentation techniques and the data source in this study was the lyrics of the song Wang lee Hom. The theory used is the theory of figure of speech and language style as well as the theory of qualitative analysis to examine this research.

In the results of this study, there are 9 types of figurative language found in 6 song titles, namely Nĭrén, Nĭwù, Bĭyù, Kuāzhāng, Fănfù, Duì'ŏu, Fănwèn, Shèwèn and Céngdì. The difference in the use of the type of language style in the six song titles is influenced by the nature of the interaction between humans in the song's theme.
