| dc.description.abstract | Pop songs are now an important means of expression for the modern generation.
Academicians must consider this phenomenon as the object of language studies. This
research attempts to analyze three songs in a Grammy-winning album of 2021, Folklore.
Song lyrics in Betty, Cardigan, and August, written by Taylor Swift have the quality of
narrative poetry (ballads) for having the characteristics of storytelling voiced by a different
speaker in each song. The purpose of this research is to show how the varying amounts of
transitivity process types in each lyric suggest different perspectives on reality. It uses a
stylistic approach to expose the linguistic features that allow the speakers to portray diverse
perspectives after going through a difficult relationship. As he apologizes to his partner, the
speaker in Betty uses material process significantly to reconstruct the outer experiences. In
Cardigan, the speaker emphasizes mental processes, incorporating her personal experience
into her knowledge and memory. However, in August, the speaker uses both material and
relational processes in equal proportions as she battles with her status in the relationship.
Hence, listeners could identify with the various speakers' individual experiences as
expressed in the lyrics. | en_US |
