Protest Music Review of Theories

while the present study is the lyrics of Anti-Flag; an activist punk band. Sharififar and Rahimi uses the political speeches as the discourse in their study. The second point is the method to analysis the data. Taiwo’s and Kananovich use rhetorical strategy while the present study uses the SFG. Taiwo looking beyond the words to the ideologies that underlie the songs’ composition while Kananovich use concept of CDA to find out the social actors, social practice and textual aspects. The studies using rhetorical strategy migh not explore the lingusitcs units employs of the song lyrics. By using SFG, the representation of ideology and power in the song lyrics are more obvious. It is because the linguitics present the supported evidence of how the language use. The study of Sharififar and Rahimi use SFG as well. Same with the present study, they also focus on transitivity and modality. In transitivity analysis, they focuses only on the major trasitivity processes; material, relational and mental processes. The present study focuses on major processes and minor processes; verbal processes and existential processes except behavioural processes. On the modality analysis, they are different in the analysis of tense. The third point deals with the type of study. The two studies by Kananovich and, Sharififar and Rahimi conduct the comparative study. Kananovich compare the Pussy Riot text and the experts’ report while Sharififar and Rahimi do comparison of two presidents political speeches. As same as the present study, Taiwo does not do comparative study. He focuses on analysis Nigerian panthecostal worship while the present study focuses on Anti-Flag song lyrics.

2.3 Theoretical Framework

This part dealt with how the theories; ideology critical discourse analysis, systemic functional grammar and the related studies elaborated and implemented in answering the two research questions of the study. Ideology as the first theory talks about what the language is in the consideration of there is an ideology inside the language. It is helpful to understand how language, ideology and power related to one another. This theory is also beneficial to identify the clauses that contain power since those features appear as the general ideas of the speeches. In order to analyze the ideology, the theory becomes the guideline in defining what ideologies are and how they presented in the text. This theory also gives understanding that language is applicable to exercise power by means of its features. In relation to CDA, the understanding of the relation between language and power help the researcher analyze how certain linguistic features in the texts can influence the addressee. The second theory, critical discourse analysis talks about the approach used to conduct the study. In this theory, the relation between SFG and CDA presented. In the linguistic point of view, both of them rely on the metafunction analysis to conduct. It can be said that CDA does not only a matter of analyzing a text, but it goes beyond that. CDA believes that a text does not stay alone. It is created in a situation that influences the creation of it. This theory also enlightens the researcher that the critical analysis of a discourse should also consider the existence of power, dominance, and social inequality in which a discourse is produced. Therefore, CDA becomes the approach of this study. The third theory is about systemic functional grammar. This theory becomes prominent since it is the main tool to answer the question number one, which intends to find out the linguistic features in Anti-flag song lyrics. Linguistic features meant in this study are the results of the metafunction analysis: field, tenor, and mode. By analyzing the metafunctions of the clauses in the speeches, the linguistic features in the speeches can be drawn. The results of the linguistic features in the speeches become the guidelines to conclude the ideologies in the speeches. The related studies help to observe the example of academic works of CDA. By involving the related studies, the present study puts itself as one of the works that is also doing the similar study eventhough the explored angles are different. However, the present study still relies on the same basic principles on doing CDA: the field, tenor and more, which is in the linguistic line. PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
