Abstract

Figurative language is part of semantics. Figurative language is a language that uses figurative language or can be interpreted as a beautiful language but does not describe the actual meaning, only figuratively from its meaning. Figurative words are used to give a sense of beauty and emphasis to what is being conveyed. Figurative language is found in various aspects such as in songs. Songs usually consist of figurative language because figurative language is used in well-written lyrics. Basically in finding meaning in a song, semantics is very important because it can find out the meaning and purpose of the song.
