KOHESI DAN KOHERENSI WACANA LAGU DALAM ALBUM JKT48 HEAVY ROTATION
Abstract
This research is a study on cohesion and coherence of the song lyrics of
JKT48 in the album Heavy Rotation.
Cohesion and coherence play important roles to construct meaning unity of a discourse. Concerning this phenomenon, the research aims to describe and parse the elements of grammatical and lexical cohesions as well as coherence between interlines and verse of song lyrics.
This study is descriptive-qualitative in nature. The data are in the form of
words, phrases, clauses, and sentences taken from the album Heavy Rotation. The songs contained within the album are ten in number.
The analysis shows that cohesion and coherence found in the songs are of great variety. The cohesion used is of two kinds –grammatical and lexical cohesions. Grammatical cohesion includes reference, substitution, ellipsis, and conjunction. In fact, personal reference, phrasal and clausal substitution, and phoneme ellipsis are greater in use. Substitution is mostly in the form of substitution using Japanese and English rather than Indonesian.
Lexical cohesion comprises repetition, synonymy, and collocation. They are used to emphasize the important lingual units, to construct equal meaning relation, and to support the theme.
Coherence is used to connect the propositions of causal relation, means- product relation, reason-cause relation, comparison relation, setting-conclusion relation, and amplification relation.
Cohesion and coherence serve to connect parts of a discourse in order to achieve a discourse which is unified, relevant, and acceptable for readers.
Key words: cohesion, coherence, song discourse, song lyrics
