Relasi Makna Dalam Lirik Lagu Album Pewaris Lagu-Lagu Tradisional Oleh Dato' Siti Nurhaliza: Kajian Semantik

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the meaning relations in the lyrics of the album Pewaris Lagu-Lagu Tradisional by Dato' Siti Nurhaliza using a semantic approach. The focus of this study is to identify and examine various types of meaning relations, such as synonymy, antonymy, polysemy, homonymy, ambiguity, redundancy, hyponymy and hypernymy in the lyrics of the songs. Then this study also examines the most dominant meaning relations in the songs. The research data in the form of lyric texts from four songs in the album, namely zapin bernasib, sireh pinang, cindai, pandang-pandang jeling-jeling, were analyzed qualitatively using descriptive methods. The results of the study indicate that the lyrics of the songs in this album contain various types of meaning relations, both in the form of similarity of meaning (synonymy), conflict of meaning (antonymy), opposition, generalspecific relationships (hyponymy, hypernymy), homonymy, homophony, homograph, polysemy, ambiguity, redundancy. Then the most dominant meaning relation is the hyponymy relation with a total of 15 occurrences. Hyponymic relationships were found in the three songs analyzed, namely Zapin Bernasib (6), Cinda (2), and Pandang-pandang Jeling-jeling (7). The hyponymy relationship is the most dominant meaning relationship and often appears in three songs which show the use of rich vocabulary and layers of meaning in the Malay cultural context. The existence of a dominant hyponymic relationship indicates that the lyrics of traditional Malay songs by Dato Siti Nurhaliza use words whose meaning is considered to be the meaning of other expressions. This research is expected to contribute to the development of Malay language and literature studies, especially in understanding the richness of meaning contained in traditional song lyrics as a cultural heritage.
