Abstract

The songs that use figurative language with sensitive sociocultural phenomena are sung a lot by group-based idols like JKT48. They are the first Indonesian idol group to have positive image due to their funny and cute characteristics. However, JKT48 apparently has two songs that contain LGBT issues in their figurative language: “Kinjirareta Futari” (The Forbidden Pair), and “Oshibe to Meshibe to Yoru no Chouchou” (Stamens, Pistils, and Night Butterflies). It was very good to analyze the figurative languages that contained in these two song lyrics using Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis. This research aims to explain the types and actual meaning of figurative languages with LGBT issues that used in these two JKT48’s song lyrics, and describe the implications of this research towards language learning. This research was carried out by translating these two song lyrics from Indonesian to English using literal translation and amplification technique, then the translation results were analyzed their types and actual meaning of figurative languages using text dimension of Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis. Next, the analysis results were looked for the implications towards language learning, and all obtained data were explained using descriptive-qualitative techniques. The findings state that these two song lyrics contained ten types of figurative language. They are simile, metaphor, allegory, personification, hyperbole, euphemism, irony, paradox, metonymy, and synecdoche. Metonymy is the most type that contained in these lyrics. These two song lyrics generally discuss about LGBT couples in lesbian category. These analysis results also have the positive and negative implications towards language learning.
