Abstract

This study was primarily intended to analyze metaphors in selected Blackpink’s song lyrics. The objectives of the study are to identify the types of metaphors syntactically based on Abdul Wahab (1986) and to analyze the metaphorical meanings of selected Blackpink’s song lyrics using source and target according to Lakoff and Johnson (1980). This study uses a descriptive-qualitative approach. The data were the metaphors used in Blackpink's song lyrics. The researcher uses Abdul Wahab’s theory on the syntactical types of metaphor and analyzes the identified data using Lakoff and Johnson’s concept of source and target in metaphor. There were four types of metaphor used in five selected Blackpink’s song lyrics, which are subjective nominative metaphor, objective nominative metaphor, predicative metaphor, and sentence metaphor. The writer discovers that the most common type of metaphor used in Blackpink’s song lyrics is sentence metaphor, followed by nominative objective metaphor, predicative metaphor, and nominative subjective metaphor. Abstract terms with true meanings are found in each of the types of metaphors that have been collected as a result of the study.
