Pembentukan dan Makna Yojijukugo Dalam Lirik Lagu Karya Sixfonia

Abstract

Sixfonia presents original songs rich in wordplay and Japanese aesthetics, one of which is by incorporating yojijukugo into their lyrics. This study aims to identify the types of yojijukugo, analyze their formation, and uncover the meanings contained within them. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed to observe and describe data from the lyrics of 11 original Sixfonia songs. The results of the study show that there are three patterns of yojijukugo formation, with the 2+2 pattern dominating with 41 data points. In addition, five main types of meaning were found: idiomatic meaning (24 data), denotative meaning (10 data), connotative meaning (6 data), figurative meaning (6 data), and referential meaning (1 data). This study also provides new insights into how yojijukugo is creatively utilized in modern song lyrics to convey concise, poetic, and profoundly meaningful messages. It is hoped that the findings of this research can serve as a reference for Japanese language learners and other researchers interested in morphological and semantic studies in the context of musical art.
