Abstract

Hyperbole is a common literary device found in many forms of expression, including song lyrics. In lyrics, it amplifies emotions and expressions, leaving a stronger impression on the listener. By overstating situations or emotions, songwriters can emphasize key themes or messages in a more dramatic and impactful manner. This study, therefore, seeks to examine the use of hyperbolic elements in the lyrics of Taylor Swift's album The Tortured Poets Department. This study utilizes a qualitative research method to identify and categorize hyperbolic forms and types of meaning in the album's lyrics, guided by Claudia Claridge's (2011) theory. For data analysis, the researcher adopted Spradley's (1983) approach, which involves three steps: domain analysis, taxonomic analysis, and componential analysis. The research findings reveal that phrasal hyperbole and clausal hyperbole are the most prevalent forms, appearing 19 and 15 times respectively. Regarding types of meaning, affective meaning and connotative meaning are the most commonly used, with 24 and 17 occurrences. The study concludes that the use of complex hyperbole significantly enhances the emotional depth and storytelling in the lyrics, offering valuable insights for lyric-writing techniques and music marketing strategies.
