Abstract

This research is qualitative research of the album Four (Deluxe) by ONE DIRECTION which explains the types and the functions of figurative language contained in song lyrics using the theory of Johnson and Arp. This research used the primary data taken from the song lyrics and the secondary data were obtained from articles, journals, and previous studies. This research used a qualitative descriptive method, where the analysis focused on answering the problem formulation. The data collection technique was done by listening to songs and reading the lyric text. From the results of the research, the researcher concluded that types of figurative language found in the album is hyperbole, simile, symbolic, personification, and allegory. Meanwhile, the function of figurative language found in the album is to provide imaginative pleasure, to talk a lot in a short compass, and to add emotional intensity. Hyperbole is the most frequent used in the album (5 data), and to provide imaginative pleasure is the function that is most frequent used in the album (9 data). These two results are interconnected where hyperbole which describes something in exaggerated terms can make the reader interpret the meaning of the song lyrics on his own and can make the reader imagine what atmosphere is in the song so that reader’s imagination is more developed. Keywords: stylistic analysis, figurative language, Four album, One Direction
