ABSTRAK
Paper yang berjudul “ Description of Idiomatic Expression Found in Guns N’
Roses songs”. Membahas tentang idiomatic expression dalam tiga lagu Guns N’
Roses yang dipilih secara acak dalam album Use Your Illusion I. Metode
penelitian yang digunakan adalah penelitian perpustakaan (library research) dan
metode dalam menganalisa data adalah menggunakan metode descriptif
(descriptive method). Deskriptif ini dilakukan karena banyak orang yang bisa
menyanyikan lagu dalam bahasa Inggris tapi banyak juga di antara mereka tidak
mengerti makna dari lagu yang mereka nyanyikan. Pendeskripsian idiomatic
expression dalam sebuah lagu sangat bermamfaat agar orang dapat menemukan
makna atau arti lirik lagu tersebut. Dari deskriptif data saya menemukan tiga
bentuk idiomatic expression yang ada dalam lagu Guns N’ Roses dan
menterjemahkannya kedalam makna yang lain, yaitu: Adjectives and Nouns in
Combination, Idiomatic Verbal Expression, Verb and Preposition Used Together
Idiomatically . Dengan kata lain lagu Guns N’ Roses banyak menggunakan ketiga
jenis idiomatic expression diatas. Dengan kesimpulan, makna dari keseluruhan
dapat digambarkan dalam satu kata yaitu “Love”. Love yang dimaksud dalam
lagu tersebut adalah bentuk kasih sayang yang tulus antara sepasang kekasih yaitu
laki-laki dan perempuan.
