Metaphorical depiction in Siti Binti Saad’s songs
Keywords:
context, imagery, metaphor, semioticAbstract
This paper sought to examine the importance of context in the Siti Binti Saad’s songs. How does the context assist in the creation of the theme and the stylistic devices? Several songs have been used to answer the above question. Siti Binti Saad grew up during the colonial period and in the last times of slave trade. Colonial time is one of the factors of context that can be depicted from Siti’s songs. This paper has also vividly by examples outlined how metaphors are created in the reverence of context. Context plays a big role in the creation of imagery and the metaphors. It will be of help if the singer or the writer of literal work can understand the context of his audience.
