Semantics
- Definition of Semantics
- Properties of Semantic Relations
A uniform approach to the different semantic relation types seems elusive, since the types - and even instances of a relation within a type - have inherently different, often contradictory, properties. Binarity: Some relations only relate to pairs of words, although larger sets of words may be semantically available to the relation (eg black/white rather than black/grey/white). c). Variability: Which word(s) a particular word is related to varies depending on which sense of the word is used and the context in which it is used. d).
Prototypicality and canonicity: Some word strings exemplify a relation better than others, and some word strings (especially some pairs of antonyms) have a special status as canonical examples of a relation. e).. meaning: The semantic properties of words are not the only factors that work in connecting words and judging semantic relationships. f).

Concept of Connotation
- The Definition of Connotation
- The Cultural Connotation
A connotation is a commonly understood cultural or emotional association that some word or phrase carries, in addition to the word or phrase's explicit or literal meaning, which is its denotation.7. Connotation is said to be "the meaning of the second order", often the meaning of "cultural", which complements the denotation. It is important to note that not all connotations are exclusively positive or exclusively negative - depending on how a word is used, it can connote different things.
Connotation is an additional meaning to a word or phrase, many words will have the same literal meaning but may mean different feelings or ideas. If in the above sentence we exchange the adjective "aroma" so that it now reads "the stench of grandma's cooking", the meaning changes completely. For example, when talking about a pet, the word ―dog‖ has a neutral connotation; but, the word ―mutt‖ has a negative connotation, while the word ―pure breed‖ has a positive connotation.
Because of its traditional links with meaning in the mind, it is therefore rare for corpus linguists to venture into the realm of connotation.10 One of the few scholars who do, tells us that cultural connotation is about ―what a lexical item within' indicate a culture. ‖. Shared connotations may vary from one social group or culture to another, but since we are institutionalized, we can also expect them to be encoded in the language. As a result, although it is true to say that connotative meaning is not inherent in the referential meaning of a lexical item; it does not necessarily exclude it from belonging to the semantic and pragmatic meaning of that lexical item in a given language.
However, not all connotations are shared, and we can never claim that readers always "get" the allusions suggested in the text.
Explanation of Lyric
The lyrics can also be analyzed for the sense of unity (or lack of unity) it has with the backing music. We often read and sing the lyrics of a song without knowing what message the writer was trying to convey. Failure to understand the meaning of a text is the result of not knowing the right method to use in finding the true meaning of a text.
Fortunately, today we know that there is a method that can lead us to investigate the meaning of an object. Through the song, the singer wants to tell the listener about the writer's feelings that come from his heart. Weird Genius is an Indonesian DJ group consisting of Reza Oktovian, Eka Gustiwana and Gerald Liu.
The group was formed in 2016 and released their first song in 2017 under the title DPS. This DJ group is very complete because the three of them each have their roles.12 Eka Gustiwana is the person behind making music or arranger. When asked to describe Weird Genius music, they describe it with hard, upbeat, pumping, crazy-drop.
This trio formation aims to elevate the name to put Weird Genius on the world map.

Approach
Scanning of materials, no field notes or qualifying and arrangement of data in some types based on the source of information. What is the general perception of the overall depth, credibility and use of data as information. Adopting textual data or images, segmenting sentences or paragraphs or images into several categories., and marking these categories with a tem, often an expression that is in the participant's actual language, are the actions of this step.
Use the coding process to produce a description of the environment or people based on the categories or themes of the analysis. The essence of ideas is captured by what researchers can learn through teaching. Thus, the interpretation in this qualitative research is tailored to different types of design and flexible to convey personal, research-based and action-based understandings.
