INTRODUCTIONThe study is activity analyze something object to find a fact or answer from the object under study (Winnicott, 2018). one method usual research used is method qualitative (Campbell, 2014). Method qualitative in a study is a method that has a purpose for understanding reality socially through activity understanding (Toloie-Eshlagh et al, 2011).
Method this is what makes the difference Among method qualitative with method quantitative which has a purpose for the test. So from that, the method study should get support from a valid source.
Introduction, substance, artistic, and study from something work scientific required for learning stories, values contained, characters, even existing knowledge on the topic being discussed (Zeidner et al, 2012).
With learning something work we could expand outlook us and know the meaning of the story in it (Entman, 2009). The substance is the essence or main idea of something (Woods, 1974, January). The substance is used to define someone who has honesty and intelligence, or when researching a message to find its essence.
For example, if you remember the main points of a lesson, you've got the substance.
Philosophically, the substance is the basic thing, from which the world is composed. The substance is the underlying reality, or as the substrate of all that exists.
According to Aristotle, the substance is the ultimate reality (Tracy, 1982). The substance is the category of existence on which every other category of existence is based
(Jolliet et al, 2003). Aristotle also described the substance as the underlying reality, or as the substrate of all existing things. He described the substance as formal and material reality and discussed the relationship between potentiality and actuality (Simanjuntak, et al, 2022).
Artistic is something traits that have Mark strong beauty on a result work art created by someone nor group. Work art that has Mark artistic is work art that stands out in value special made by the artist.
According to Widhiya Wisnuwardhana, in everyday life explains that humans are a balance between the physical and the spiritual.
Because beauty is not just adapted from works of art (Tooby and Cosmides, 2001). Analyze or understand conclusion something object study in series meaning, concept, and perspective about things that are arranged, arranged by carefully studied by real and aware (Schutz, 1972). Whereas study is the most important thing in object research (Bramão et al, 2011).
Because analysis will make something based or the most important basis from draft research.
Base an objective theory will also determine the weight most important from something research that will make. Although rule from every agency that different method use, will but at least study can Becomes dominating arrangement number two after results analysis that alone.
How to paraphrase sued for overcoming hassle writing stylistics, especially in translate (Saud, 2014). Approach paraphrase is a system used for conveying a post from a language
418
source to a language purpose, which is applied to the position of a word, expression, clause, or rules (Medhat et al, 2014). How to serve return own several characteristics, videlicet impact on results presentation back classified based on ratio with source scientific, is at the level of micro and limited, mutually related but based on environment certain, functional, and has purpose and reason profession for served back (Illich, 1996). Use of serving mode return will help the translator determine position quality presentation return the resulting words, expressions, clauses, and rules in a presentation back. Besides that, statement repeat will help determine language the most original applied in the target language. Thus, form original statement repeat-containing meaning substantial could apply the in-unit colorful language. Using technology presentation return will produce presentation easy accurate return digested and read by summary language served back. Of course, presentation returns should be customized with deployment book text, especially must-have songs studied in shape sentences.Piece language level carries on could study and studied from substance statement repeat popular (Savage-Rumbaugh et al, 1993).
Limited vocabulary, distrust art, and substance often make statements repeat Become no accurate (González‐Calvo et al, 1997). Crime in understands statement repeat that doesn't by communication Writer will have a very negative impact on development values scientific (Bushman and Anderson, 2001).
Complexity style language is the one-factor reason the difficulty presentation back. In the process of presenting back, the translator often experiences a problem. To overcome Case this is needed style presentation good return.
Poetry is reproduction, reflection, or representation from the world and life mortal (Haraway, 1992). Understanding this reflects that poetry is a collection of purposeful abstract words for manipulating excitement abstract Becomes the effect of imagined concrete (MacIntyre and Gregersen, 2012). Frequent lyrical words used in songs can also reflect the currentness of the author which means the listener could learn and feel the effect experienced by the listener (Fathallah, 2020).
They show that the words in a song could make it easy melody and listener for representing, reflect, and educate desire they by open without look for approval or definition from other people. in terms of language, poetry is a collection of words that can interpret the rules alone. Words in lyrics are made with good word choice and structure. This thing shows that function language creature is lyrical, videlicet works for describing the meaning contained in symbol language that alone. As reflection more meaning in, lyrics song it is also related with reality, so of course, though strange imagine the communication permanent can understand. Effect as this can we find in lyrics song romantic many colorful in Indonesia liked by children young.
Meaning lyrics a song need anatomy by the basics of the moral strata of the song
