AN ANALYSIS OF CONJUNCTIONS IN BRUNO MARS' SONGS ON THE DOO-WOP S & HOOLIGANS ALBUM
Keywords:
Conjunction, Bruno Mars Song, Doo-Wops & Hooligans AlbumAbstract
This study is motivated by the tendency of music listeners to perceive songs merely as entertainment, despite their potential as linguistic learning resources, particularly in the field of syntax. Syntax concerns the rules governing grammatical structures in a language, including the use of conjunctions, which play an important role in connecting words, phrases, and clauses to construct meaningful expressions. This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach, with the researcher acting as the key instrument. The data were collected through documentation techniques by listening to, recording, classifying, and analyzing the lyrics of songs from Bruno Mars’ Doo-Wops & Hooligans album. The findings reveal that a total of 40 conjunctions were identified in the album, consisting of 19 coordinative conjunctions and 21 subordinative conjunctions. These conjunctions function to express relationships such as addition, contrast, cause, condition, time, and result, indicating that the use of conjunctions in song lyrics contributes significantly to the coherence, meaning, and emotional expression of the songs.
