Perbandingan pemilihan kata dan analisis semantik inkuisitif dalam lirik dan aspek muzikal antara lagu dangdut di Malaysia dan Indonesia

Music is a medium of approaching society through its composers who play the role of messengers so as to create certain responses in humans. This phenomenon can be felt through psychological responses and human behavior when listening to songs. This shows the manifestation of the songwriter's own thoughts to give birth to philosophical values, reason and wisdom through song art. Casual study research on song lyric data involving words is generally found to tend to be superficial and ignore the importance of the musical aspects that accompany it. To reach the true manifestation of the songwriter's thoughts inquisitively by exploring holistically the data conceptualized as 'song lyrics', a detailed and systematic study was conducted on a total of 872 pieces of dangdut songs in Malaysia and Indonesia throughout the era (60s-2000s). The choice of dangdut song genre in this study was driven by the strength of the song's presentation, which is correlated to the realities of people's lives. From the overall findings of the song lyrics data obtained, as many as 112,529 (tokens) and 13,591 types of word frequency (types) have been identified through the corpus database. All data information was categorized into three (3) types of words, namely Name Words (KN), Verbs (KK) and Adjectives (KA) using ATLAST ti application. The musical aspect data was also analyzed and clarified in terms of the type of instrument and the ability to stimulate the musical texture (tempo and tone scale) that underlies each dangdut song composition to the listener. The results of the analysis of word types led to the discovery of implicit/abstract words that collocated with them and were explored in depth using an Inquisitive Semantic approach by Nor Hashimah Jalaluddin (2014). Additional inquisitive information through the division of musical aspects has also helped to strengthen the analysis of song lyrics holistically. The overall result of the study through both aspects analyzed has been able to highlight the true manifestation of the thoughts of dangdut songwriters. This study is also expected to open up opportunities for scholars in the field of linguistics to explore every perspective of language use in the context of song lyrics so that it can be explained systematically, authentically and reliably.
