Abstract

This study aimed to discover (1)What kinds of hyperboles are used in the song lyrics of John Legend? and (2) What are the contextual meanings of hyperboles used in John Legend‟s songs?. The qualitative method was used as the research approach in analyzing and presenting the data. Three of John Legend‟s albums were used as the source of the data entitled Bigger Love, Love In The Future, and Darkness and Light. It was found that from those albums, there exist 27 hyperbole expressions, classified as four kinds of hyperbole; (1) Clausal hyperbole, (2) Comparison, (3) Repetition, and (4) Phrasal hyperbole. From those 4 kinds of hyperbole, 19 hyperbole expressions were found and classified as Clausal Hyperbole, 3 hyperbole expressions as Comparison, 3 hyperbole expressions as Repetition, and 2 hyperbole expressions as Pharsal hyperbole. Furthermore, the meaning of those hyperbole expressions is dominantly about the love for his mate, and the relationship that they have been through. The meaning can be derived based on the context of the songs.
