| Summary: | This graduation paper explores the usage of diction, style of language, and
concrete word in the Ninomiya Kazunari�s lyrics. Lyrics of the song have the
same characteristic as poem. A poem consists of the nature of poetry (inner
structure) and the method of poetry (physical structure). Diction, style of language,
and concrete word are the elements of method of poetry.
Diction is the chosen words that are used by poets to deliver the meaning,
concrete word means the words that are used by poet to make the meaning of his
or her poetry real and concrete, and style of language focuses on conveying the
meaning of poetry by poets in indirectness way. With the analysis of diction, style
of language, and concrete word in the lyrics of the song, the writer is able to
understand the meaning of lyrics created by Ninomiya Kazunari. The writer also
analyzes Riffaterre�s indirectness of expression in the Ninomiya Kazunari�s works
to find out the typical style of Ninomiya Kazunari in delivering the meanings of
his works.
Niji, Gimmick Game, and 1992*4##111 are the data of this research.
Ninomiya Kazunari�s typical styles in delivering of the three are: a dialogue or
conversation of two characters, immense katakana, an unusual way to read some
kanji, and unfamiliar way to write the lyrics, i. e. only provide a few repetation.
Concerning the meaning, three of them have the different themes but have a
typical appeal in conveying the meaning. The meaning of Niji is about the
memories of a spouse when they were still dating. The meaning of Gimmick
Game is about a couple that lied and betrayed each other, while the meaning of
1992*4##111 is about saying a gratitude through a code.
