COHESION USED IN NATIVE DEEN`S SONG LYRICS: ANALYSIS ON ITS

GRAMMATICAL AND LEXICAL DEVICES

ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to describe the kind of cohesion devices used in

Native Deen`s song lyrics. The writer analyzed song lyrics because it is a kind of

language use and also a kind of text. The use of song lyrics in teaching and learning

English is very effective. Songs construct the experience of learning English that

relaxed and enjoyable one.

A descriptive research design was applied in this study. It was also a

qualitative one because the description on the analysis was not ordinarily expressed in

quantitative terms. The population of this study was 67 song lyrics of Native Deen`s

songs from each album released until the time of conducting the study. Simple

random sampling was defined to select 3 song lyrics from the first album until the

third album. A document analysis was the instrument used to collect the data. Data

analysis was formulated as follows: printing, reading, and identifying all types of

cohesion devices found in Native Deen`s song lyrics.

This study showed the following findings. Almost all types of cohesion

devices proposed by Halliday and Hasan in Tanskanen (2006:15) can be found in

Native Deen`s song lyrics. Personal and demonstrative references were found in

Native Deen`s song lyrics. The kind of substitution used in Native Deen`s song lyrics

were nominal and verbal substitutions. Temporarily, the kind of ellipsis found in

Native Deen`s song lyrics was only nominal ellipsis. Afterwards, kinds of

conjunction used in the lyrics were additive, adversative, and causal conjunctions. For

the second type of cohesion devices, lexical cohesion devices, the writer found

repetition and synonym as part of reiteration used in Native Deen`s song lyrics. The

writer also found the use of collocation in the lyrics.

The writer proposes some suggestions to English teachers, English students,

and future researchers. The English teachers should introduce and teach their students

about cohesion devices and they can use song lyrics as alternative source of teaching

media. English students should master cohesion devices that will enable them to

maintain the continuity of thought and idea and also to create the effective and

efficient sentences. As a final point, future researchers can use this study as a

reference in conducting studies in the same field with larger sample and population

with different song lyrics, or they can also study the use of cohesion devices in other

sources.
