I. INTRODUCTION

1.1.

The Background of the Study Guns N' Roses (sometimes abbreviated as G N' R or GnR) is an American hard rock band that the band formed in Hollywood, Los Angeles, California in 1985. The band led Axel

Rose. The band has released six studio albums, three album industries, and one live album while going through numerous line up changes and controversies since its formation. Rose is the only consistent and original member of Guns N' Roses. The band has sold more than 100 million albums worldwide. (Wikipedia, 2011) G N R has one live album that is Use Your Illusion I. Use Your Illusion I consists of twelve songs. The writer only chooses three songs as the references. The songs are Back Off Bitch, November Rain, and Garden of Eden. The writer chooses Use Your Illusion I because the album has a good and great love song lyric. Talking about rhythm, Use Your Illusion I dominates the slow and emotional feeling rhythm. Moreover, the writer finds the lyric which has some idiomatic expression found in G NR lyric. The writer chooses the songs from this album because this album is all about Love Story of the writer. This album tells about love story which has some truly meaning. In addition, the writer chooses the songs because the writer feels that the album is interesting to study idiomatic expression. Lyrics

of this album have many idiomatic expressions that can help the writer describing this study. Every part of Humans lives is filled with languages. The language has an important role of communication in human life. People use language as a tool to express ideas and feelings. Language is a purely human and non instinctive method of communicating ideas, emotions, and desire by means of a system voluntary produced symbol (Sapir, 1921: 8). It means that language is used when we interact with other people socially or emotionally. So, language is a medium of communication which plays a vital role in human communication. Palmer (1976: 6) said I have suggested that linguistics is the scientific study of language. Linguistics has important role or components of language that include sound, the arrangement of words, and meaning. In the repertoire of any language, idiomatic expression constitute a special category of lexical items presenting a fixed structure and a spesific behaviour language use. Idioms though, display greater rigidity and structural complexity than individual words, which make them uncomfortable elements in any theory of language. An idiomatic expression is a phrase or a sentence that is generally fixed and sematically opaque or methaporical, as its meaning is different from the usual meaning of the individual words in it. For this reason, it must be learnt as a whole unit. Idiomatic expressions are not a separate part of the language which one can choose either to use or omit; rather, they form an essential part of the vocabulary,

and general tendencies of present-day English are towards more and more idiomatic usage. Idiomatic espression are also especially use in informal situation, and they have a stranger meaning than ordinary words. (Campoy, 1944) Music has been called the language of the emotions. Music also elusive state of mind. Music is also an art dealing with the organization of song into patterns. Song is the most natural form of music. Song also has characteristics in understanding the significance. Furthermore, song can not be separated from rhythm and lyric. Rhythm is denotes the orderly movement of music in time. Lyric is a collective words that find in song. Song usually is simpler so that it is easier to understand. On the contrary, the song writer uses idiomatic expression in the lyric. As a result, the hearer gets some trouble in understanding the meaning of lyric. Therefore, it is necessary to discuss about the idiomatic expression used in the song in order to make the hearer and reader improving the meaning of the song. (Machlis, 1955) Based on the explanation above, the writer chooses title Description of Idiomatic Expression Found in Guns N Roses. In this study, the writer improve all describe about idiomatic expression. Idiomatic expression is used to develop idiom which idiomatic expression is generally fixed and sematically opaque or methaporical, but its meaning is different from the usual meaning. In addition the writer hopes that this study has advantages for the reader and himself. 1.2 The Problems of the Study

Based on the background of study, automatically this problem of study are as the following : 1. What kind of Idiomatic Expression is used in Guns N Roses songs ? 2. What is the understanding ? 1.3. The Objectives of the Study The objectives of the study are : 1. To find out idiomatic expression used in Guns N Roses songs . 2. To understand the idiomatic expression used in Guns N Roses songs. 1.4.

But in this paper, this description is only focused on the three types of idiomatic expression found in Guns N Roses, such as idiomatic verbal expression, idiomatic expression with adjectives and noun in combination, verb and preposition used together automatically. 1.5. The Significance of Study This paper is expected to enrich the idiomatic expression study and add knowledge for student of language in terms idiomatic expression. And also can help the students or the readers to understand the meaning of songs. Idiomatic Expression found in Guns N Roses songs

II. REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE This chapter includes the purpose of literature review, a review of the literature on describing of idiomatic expression found in Guns and Roses album. 2.1 Idiomatic Expression According to Hornby(1975: 193) Idiom is a combination of verb and preposition which from one meaning independent. According to Healey(1968:71) Who defines an idiom as any group of words whose meaning can not be deduced from the meanings of individual words. An idiom is defined MacArthur(1992) : an expression, word, or phrase that has figurative meaning that is comprehended in regard to common use of that expression that is separate from the literal meaning or definition of words of which it is made. Idioms are very important for people understanding English. However, idiom as very useful to make a lyric completely and seems wonderful. They are used very frequently in everyday speech and very often, when people have a

conversation, they can be used without noticing them. For this reason idiomatic expression has been object as several studies among linguists for the last decades. In the literature of generatie grammar, a traditional definition of idiom can be more or less as the following : an idiom as fixed expression whose meaning can not be inffered from the meaning of its part. It indicates that the meaning of an idiom can not be inffered drom (or, more precisely, can not be accounted as a compositional function of) the meanings the part carry in that expression. (Wikipedia, 2011) In the dictionary, there is a special section reserved for idiomatic expression. This section is produced by the symbol. Idiomatic Expression (Campoy, 1995 : 44) is a phrase or a sentence that is generally fixed and sematically opaque or methaporical, as its meaning is different from the usual meaning of the individual words in it. For this reason, it must be learnt as a whole unit. Idiomatic expressions are not a separate part of the language which one can choose either to use or omit; rather, they form an essential part of the vocabulary, and general tendencies of present-day English are towards more and more idiomatic usage. Idiomatic espression are also especially use in informal situation, and they have a stranger meaning than ordinary words. Idiomatic expressions are especially used in informal situation and they have a stronger meaning than ordinary words. Idiomatic expression is usually listed under the first main word in a phrase (not article, preposition, auxiliaries). In the dictionary idiomatic expression usually appear under more than one of the main components in order to help users find and identify them more easily. (Blogspot.com, 2011)

Idiomatic expression is a group of word with a special meaning, which can not be understood by taking the meaning of the words at a time. Idiomatic expression consist of eight types such as; idiomatic expression with adjectives and noun in combination, idiomatic expression with preposition or adverbs, two word verb, idiomatic expression in comparison, idiomatic verbal expression, verbs and noun used together idiomatically, idiomatic adjective phrases, verb and preposition used together idiomatically. ( Lou, 2007 ) A. Idioms with adjectives and noun in combination, for examples ; short and sweet ( not wasting time), first and foremost (most important), hope and pray ( wish and expect ), ready to wear clothes (clothes bought in a shop), a narrow escape ( an escape which is nearly unsuccessful), a bolt from the blue ( a surprise or shock ), Monday morning feeling ( general apathy when returning to work on Monday). B. Idioms with preposition or adverb, for examples : time after time ( repeatedly ), on purpose ( intentionally ), under the nose of somebody ( in sight of ), in case of something ( if something happens). C. Two word verb, for examples : blow up ( cause to explode ), burn down ( destroy a building by burning it to the ground ), get over ( recover from or accept a lose of sorrow), cop out ( avoid doing something that you should do or that you have promised to do because you are frightened, shy, or you think it is too difficult). D. Idioms in comparison, for examples: as innocent as a child, as big as a elephant, as arbitrary as a cyclone.

E. Idiomatic Verbal Expression, for examples ; be no chicken ( be no longer young ), be set to do something ( be ready something ), be a steal ( be a bargain ), be up to something ( be interested in something ), go dutch ( share expenses ), rob peter to pay Paul ( take from one to give another, both being equal circumstances, thereby not altering or improving the situation ), break someone ( make someone unable to be successful; ruin someone) F. Verbs and preposition used together idiomatically, for examples ; bombs explode, drums beat, trumpet blare. G. Idiomatic adjective phrases, for example ; hopeless ( completely without skill at a particular activity), upset ( unhappy and worried because something unpleasant has happened), accustomed to something ( familiar with ), H. Verbs and preposition used together idiomatically, for examples : aims ( at something), glance at somebody, no gains without pains, still water runs deep, first comes, first served. 2.2. Lyric Lyrics (in singular form lyric) are a set of words that make up a song. The writer of lyrics is a lyricist or lyrist. The meaning of lyrics can either be explicit or implicit. Some lyrics are abstract, almost unintelligible, and, in such cases, their explication emphasizes form, articulation, meter, and symmetry of expression. (Wikipedia, 2011) Lyric derives from the Greek word lyrikos, meaning "singing to the lyre". A lyric poem is one that expresses a subjective, personal point of view. The word lyric came to be used for the "words of a song"; this meaning was recorded in 1876. The common plural (perhaps because of the association

between the plurals lyrics and words), predominates contemporary usage. Use of the singular form lyric to refer to a song's complete set of words is grammatically acceptable. However it's not considered acceptable to refer to a singular word in a song as a lyric. (Wikipedia, 2011)

2.3.

Song In music, a song is a composition for voice or voices, performed by

singing. A song may be accompanied by musical instruments, or it may be unaccompanied, as in the case of a cappella songs. The lyrics (words) of songs are typically of a poetic, rhyming nature, though they may be religious verses or free prose. ( Machlis, 1955) Song is the most natural form of music. Issuing from within the body, it is projected by means of the most personal of all instruments, the human voice. From time immemorial, singing has been the most widespread and spontaneous way of making music. ( Machlis, 1955) A song may be for a solo singer, a duet, trio, or larger ensemble involving more voices. Songs with more than one voice to a part are considered choral works. Songs can be broadly divided into many different forms, depending on the criteria used. One division is between "art songs", "pop songs", and "folk songs". Other common methods of classification are by purpose (sacred vs secular), by style (dance, ballad, Lied, etc.), or by time of origin (Renaissance, Contemporary,

etc.). A song is a piece of music for accompanied or unaccompanied voice or voices or, "the act or art of singing," but the term is generally not used for large vocal forms including opera and oratorio. Song, however, is not limited to vocal music. There is a large category of instrumental pieces that are in real sense songs without word. In any case, the spirit of song permeates all music, whether vocal or instrument. ( Machlis, 1955 ) Types of Song 1. Art songs Art songs are songs created for performance in their own right, usually with piano accompaniment, although they can also have other types of accompaniment such as an orchestra or string quartet, and are always notated. Generally they have an identified author and composer and require voice training for acceptable performances. German-speaking communities use the term art song Kunstliedto distinguish so-called "serious" compositions from folk song Volkslied. The lyrics are often written by a poet or lyricist and the music separately by a composer. Art songs may be more formally complicated than popular or folk songs, though many early Lieder by the likes of Franz Schubert are in simple strophic form. They are often important to national identity. Art songs feature in many European cultures, including but not limited to: Russian (romancy), German (Lieder), Italian (canzoni), French (mlodies), Scandinavian (snger), Portuguese (canes), Spanish (canciones). There are also highly regarded British and American art songs in the English language. Cultures outside of Europe that have a classical music tradition, such as India, may or may

not feature art songs. The accompaniment of European art songs is considered as an important part of the composition. The art song of the period in which they originally flowered is often a duet in which the vocalist and accompanist share in interpretive importance. The pieces were most often written to be performed in a home or salon setting, although today the works enjoy popularity as concert pieces. The emergence of poetry during this era was much of what inspired the creation of these pieces by Brahms, Schumann, Schubert and other composers. These composers set poems in their native language. Many works were inspired by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and Heinrich Heine. Another method would be to write new music for each stanza to create a unique form; this was throughcomposed form known in German as durchkomponiert. A combination of both of these techniques in a single setting was called a modified strophic form. Often romantic art songs sharing similar elements were grouped as a song cycle. (Wikipedia,2011) 2. Folk songs Folk songs are songs of often anonymous origin (or are public domain) that are transmitted orally. They are frequently a major aspect of national or cultural identity. Art songs often approach the status of folk songs when people forget who the author was. Folk songs are also frequently transmitted non-orally (that is, as sheet music), especially in the modern era. Folk songs exist in almost every, if not all, culture. For more on folk songs, see Folk music. A folk song originates with an individual, perhaps on the spur of the moment. It is taken up by others, a detail is changed, a stanza added, another version created, and in the

course of its wonderings it becomes the collective expression of a group. (Wikipedia,2011) 3. Popular songs Modern popular songs are typically distributed as recordings, and are played on the radio, though all other mass media that have audio capabilities are involved. Their relative popularity is inferred from commercially significant sales of recordings, ratings of stations and networks that play them, and ticket sales for concerts by the recording artists. A popular song can become a modern folk song when members of the public who learn to sing it from the recorded version teach their version to others. Popular songs may be called pop songs for short, although pop songs or pop music may instead be considered a more commercially popular genre of popular music as a whole. Many people consider songs in popular music to have in general simpler structures than art songs, however, musicologists who are "both contemptuous and condescending of popular music are looking for types of production, musical form, and listening which they associate with a different kind of music classical musicand thus they generally find popular music lacking. (Wikipedia, 2011) 2.4. Rhythm Rhythm is denotes the orderly movement of music in time. It is the principle of organization and design that controls the duration of tones. Rhythm is the element of music closely allied to body movement, to physical actions. (Machlis, 1955) The arrangement of the relative durations of and accents on the notes of a melody, usually laid out into regular groups (bars) of beats, the first beat of each

bar carrying the stress. The basic temporal element of music, concerned with duration and with stresses or accents whether irregular or organized into regular patternings. The formulation in the late 12th cent of the rhythmic modes. the perceived form of the flow of processes in time; a basic principle of formal organization in the temporal arts, including poetry, music, and dance. The concept of rhythm is applicable to the spatial arts, to the extent that they presume a process of perception developing in time. The diversity with which rhythm is manifested in artistic genres and styles and outside of the arts (in speech and in work, for example) has given rise to many definitions and to a lack of terminological precision. The definitions of rhythm fall into three main groups: descriptive, rational, and emotional.In addition, Rhythm is may be generally defined as a movement marked by the regulated succession of strong and weak elements, or of opposite or different conditions. (Machlis, 1955) According wikipedia (2011), rhythm has three terminologies or types. There are a following : 1. Alternation and Repetition Rhythm is marked by the regulated succession of opposite elements, the dynamics of the strong and weak beat, the played beat and the inaudible but implied rest beat, the long and short note. As well as perceiving rhythm we must be able to anticipate it. This depends upon repetition of a pattern that is short enough to memorize. 2. Tempo and Duration

Tempo is the speed at which music is or ought to be played, often indicated on written compositions by a descriptive or metronomic direction to the performer.

III. METHODOLOGY The most important in a reseach or describing data has to have a method of description. In this study, the writer applied the library reseach by collecting some data to support the description. The writer tried to describe Idiomatic Expression in Guns and Rosess songs as the main object of the description. As the object or the data of this analysis, I will take three songs by Guns and Roses. They are: Back Off Bitch, November Rain, Garden of Eden. Here are the steps in writing this paper : 1) Firstly, all the songs of Guns and Roses are collected. 2) Secondly, several songs of Guns and Roses which contain idiomatic expression are chosen. 3) Thirdly, some songs are selected as the sample of the analysis. 4) Then, the lines which have idiomatic expression are chosen. 5) Next, each type of idiomatic expression is classified then described them.

6) Finally, the results of the description are concluded.

3.1 Data and Data source The data of this study is focussed to Guns and Roses lyrics. The source of data is focussed to the Guns and roses songs in :Use Your Illusion I album, especially three songs. The titles are ; Back Off Bitch, November Rain, Garden of Eden. 3.2 Reseach Method The method reseach is used to handle the problem by collecting the data from some books, magazines, and listening cassete of Guns and Roses . Nawawi ( 1991:61) said that: There are two method of reseach those are library and field reseach method. The first is collecting the some data from books, newspaper, magazines, journal and other writen sources, and the seconds is using some questions to someone or a certain group of people in collecting data. This study also used descriptive qualitative approach to support the description. A qualitative approach defined as a description of observation which is not ordinarily expressed in quantitative terms. It is not suggested that numerical measures are never used, but the other means of description are emphasize. Nazir (1998: 64) said that descriptive method is a method of research that makes the description of situation of even or occurrence. So, this method only performs the more basic accumulative data. Therefore, descriptive design is a research design which is intended only to describe the variable. 3.3 Data Collecting Method

Population is the whole number of the subjects or people under observation in a research. (Arikunto, 1992: 102). The population of this research is the whole albums of Guns and Roses. And as the sample of this description, I will take an album which consists of five songs by applying purposive sample method, as proposed by sutrisno, (2004:91) said: Dalam purposive sampling, pemilihan sekelompok subyek didasarkan pada ciri-ciri atau sifat-sifat populasi yang sudah diketahui sebelumnya. Purposive sampling

didasarkan atas informasi yang mendahului tentang populasi dan informasi ini tidak dapat diragukan lagi. In this study, I use library research. I also take some materials by reading some books of idiomatic expression. As a result, in choosing the sample as the data of this analysis, the writer will choose three of the songs which support the description. The three samples will provide examples for all idiomatic expression that will be described.

IV. DATA AND DESCRIPTION In any case, the writer applies data from the lyric of Guns and Roses album supporting this paper or sampling to make this paper being understand. 4.1. 4.1.1 Data Back Off Bitch
