Gramatical Features


Song atau lagu juga punya ciri kebahasaan, lho! Nah, berikut ciri kebahasaan dari song.
·Imagery.
Imagery describes about feelings and emotions. Sebuah lagu biasanya berusaha menggambarkan perasaan yang dirasakan si penulis.

·Rhythm.
Ritme disini digunakan untuk menciptakan mood. Misalnya, apabila kita sedang bersedih dan mendengarkan lagu dengan ritme slow, maka kita akan terbawa suasana dengan lagu tersebut. So, rhythm creates mood!

·Figures of speech
1.Metaphor,comparing two things that are not a like to suggest that they actually have something in common.Sekilas memang kedua hal yang dibandingkan tidak berkaitan, tetapi sebenarnya ada kesamaan antara dua hal tersebut.e.g. “Timeis a thief” or “Her hair was silk” 

2. Simile, comparestwothingsusing “like” or “as’’. Suatu hal digambarkan dengan hal yang mirip dengan menggunakan kata ‘like’ atau ‘as’ e.g. “My love is like a redrose"

·Hyperbole
A dramatic language. Big exaggeration, usually with humor. Suatu hal digambarkan secara berlebihan, terkadang menggelitik karena terlalu berlebihan. e.g. “That math home work took me 8 million years to finish”.

An object appear like a person. Objek (bukan manusia) memiliki kemampuan seperti manusia. e.g. “The wind whisper” or “The snow flakes danced in the wind”.

·Allititration
