CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION
A. The Background of the Study
Communication has definition as the process of obtaining information or
expressing thought and feelings. Going by this definition, it is obvious that human
beings are naturally communicators. Communication is the act or activity of
conveying information for the purpose of creating a shared understanding. It’s
something that humans do every day. This activity is used to conveying
information through the exchange of thoughts, messages, or information. All
forms of communication require to the same basic elements, a speaker or sender
of information, a message, and an audience or recipient. The sender and recipient
must also share a common language or means of understanding each other for
communication to be successfull.
Language is used to express inner thoughts, emotions, and interactions in
both spoken and written communication. Spoken means the process of expressing
ideas and feelings or giving information is done orally. Writing is the
representation of a language in a text, like sign and symbols. It is done in writing
activity, such as in short story, article, poem, lyric, etc. Language has functions to
the purposes in which we use language to communicate.
2
We use language for a variety of formal and informal purposes, and
specific grammatical structures and vocabulary are often used with each language
function like compare and contrast, persuasion, asking questions, expressing likes
and dislikes, cause and effect, summarizing, sequencing, predicting,
agreeing/disagreeing, greeting people/introductions. Language is the most
fundamental aspects of human’s life, without language can not communicate
properly.
In understanding a language, it is related to pragmatics study. Pragmatics
is a study on the language expression in communicative situation to get some
meanings from the speakers. Therefore, pragmatics has a role in getting meanings.
In fact, all languages contain of small set of words whose meanings vary
systematically according to whom, where and when they are being used. The
study of pragmatics also relationship with deixis. The discussion of deixis has the
meaning of pragmatics because deixis is a part of pragmatics. According to Yule
(1996:9) states that deixis is a technical terms (from Greek) for one of the most
basic things we do with utterances. It means ‘pointing’ via language. By knowing
and understanding deixis, the reader can easily determine the aspects of deixis
such as person, spatial or place, temporal or time, social and discourse deixis.
The Song lyrics can be related in the deixis. Song lyric is the part of the
music that will express of the singer or writter fellings. Then, the song lyric divide
to many genres like pop, rock, jazz, dangdut, malay, javanese, and etc. The writer
would like to conduct a study of deixis and focuses on the analysis of deixis of
3
interest to be analyzed in the deixis. Many people like teenagers and adults know
that Didi so well. Because, he is a strenght background which he works hard to
build his dreams as a singer even he builds his career as beggar. He is the one of
the icons of campursari in Javanese song. With his creation, Didi Kempot make
campursari music become popular and interesting in Indonesia. So, the album
will be used as basic object. And, the first album had burst in the market. The
songs of "Cidro" and "Stasiun Balapan" which has become a hit song in the
community. The Album has around 1 million copies sold in market. So, the Deixis
in Didi Kempot’s songs will be very interesting to be explored. The writer will
used descriptive analysis with qualitative approach to collect the data of this
study.
B. The Problem of the Study

2. What is the most dominant type of deixis used in Raja Campur Sari of
Didi Kempot’s song?
3. Why is the type dominantly used?
C. The Objective of the Study
Based on the problems of the study above, the objective of the study are:
1. To categorize the types of deixis that is used in Raja Campur Sari of Didi
Kempot’s song.
2. To find out the dominant type of deixis that is used in Raja Campur Sari
4
3. To find out the accurate reason of the dominant type of deixis that is used

D. The Scope of the Study
There are so many songs in Raja Campur Sari of Didi Kempot’s song in 1999.
The writer will focused only 10 titles in album as the scope of this study. This
study will describe five types of deixis based on Cruse (2000:319) adds that they
are person deixis, spatial deixis, temporal deixis, discourse deixis and social
deixis.

especially in the field of pragmatics. It is expected that the findings of the study
will be useful for:
1. The lecturer/teacher: to investigate on deixis will add the variation of
teaching deixis, especially deixis used in song.
2. Students: especially for the English Department Students who are
studying linguistics, to enlarge their knowledge about deixis especially to
identify the types of deixis used.
3. Readers: to get knowledge about deixis theory. It would be more easy to
readers to identify the types of deixis in song.

CONCLUSIONS AND SUGGESTIONS
A. Conclusions
After analyzed the use of deixis in Raja Campur Sari, can be
conclude that:
1. Based on the analysis of the data on song lyrics of Raja Campur Sari, it
can be conclude that there are five types of deixis found in the Raja
Campur Sari, they are person deixis, spatial deixis, temporal deixis,
social deixis and discourse deixis. It consists of 136 person deixis, 67
spatial deixis, 66 temporal deixis, 82 discourse deixis, and 52 social
deixis.
2. The percentages of each type of deixis used in that song lyrics are
33.7% for person deixis, 16.6% for spatial deixis, 16.4% for temporal
deixis, 20.3% for discourse deixis, and 13% for social deixis. The type
of deixis is dominantly used in the song lyrics is person deixis with
total 136 or 33.7%. The deictic word ‘aku’ is dominantly used in the
song lyrics than others, because he/the singer mostly wrote his own
experiences, feelings and emotions inside human being into the song
lyrics. The result implies that person deixis especially ‘aku’ plays a
great role in the song.
71
Didi Kempot used the all deixis of ‘aku’, ‘kowe’, ‘mas’, ‘bojo’,
‘neng/ning’, ‘mung’, ‘iki’, ‘dek/dik’, ‘pelayane’, and etc, into the song
lyrics he used language that is more simple and more explicit
language, because ‘aku’, ‘kowe’, ‘mas’, ‘bojo’, ‘neng/ning’, ‘mung’,
‘iki’, ‘dek/dik’, ‘pelayane’, and etc, it is the language medium which
used by Didi Kempot into the song lyrics were enjoyed by the listener
of the medium class.
B. Suggestions
Based on the result of the study, the following suggestions are:
1. Lecturer/teacher: it is better for the English lecturer/teacher to
investigate deixis that will add the variation of teaching deixis to the
students.
2. Students: it is better for the students to enlarge their knowledge about
deixis especially to identify the types of deixis. It is hoped that they
can move easily to understand the meaning of the song lyrics.
3. Readers: it will be easier for the readers to understand the story and
make them more interested in understanding the meaning of the song.
4. Other researchers: these findings can be applied by other researchers to
