ABSTRACT Anggraini, Defi. 2012. A Syntactical Analysis in the English Song Lyrics of “Thank You Allah” Album by Maher Zain. Skripsi. English Education Department, Teacher Training and Education Faculty, Muria Kudus University. Advisor: (i) Fitri Budi Suryani, SS, M. Pd., (ii) Rismiyanto, SS, M.Pd. Keywords: Syntax, analysis, English song lyrics. Syntax is the relationship of words in sentence and the relationship between sentence and sentence structure. The correlation between the word and another word will form phrase, clause, and sentence. One of song writers, Maher Zain, writes the song lyrics in the “Thank You Allah” album. “Thank You Allah” album is a song album that conveys about religious and spirit and in the song lyrics I find some sentences to be analyzed. This research is aimed at knowing (i) the types of sentence in the English song lyrics of Thank You Allah album by Maher Zain, and (ii) syntactical rules in the English song lyrics of “Thank You Allah” album by Maher Zain. This is a qualitative descriptive research. The data were collected by searching and collecting one album of Maher Zain songs and Maher Zain song lyrics, and listening and comparing the songs and song lyrics to get authentic data sources. The result of the analysis of types of sentence in the English song lyrics of Thank You Allah album by Maher Zain shows that there are 144 declarative sentences, 15 interrogative sentences, 1 exclamatory sentences, and 23 imperative sentences. Almost sentences used in the song lyrics are declarative sentences. So, the sentences used in the song lyrics state a statement and give the information to the listeners about the truth. The result of analysis of syntactical rules in the English song lyrics of Thank You Allah album are so many syntactical rules of the sentences in the English song lyrics. The most dominant rule is NP=N. There are 270 rules of NP=N in the declarative sentences, 36 rules of NP=N in the imperative sentences, 21 rules of NP=N in the interrogative sentences and 1 rule of NP=N in the exclamatory sentence. So, the English song lyrics have many single nouns that have function as subject, direct object or indirect object of the sentences. Due to the fact that syntax is a point that is discussed in the grammar, I suggest to the students of English Education Department should not only know the types of sentence but also they should know the purpose of sentences and the implicit meaning of the sentences. The English teacher should teach the types of sentence and the purpose of sentences. So, the students will not only know the types of sentence but also they will know the purpose of the sentences because every sentence has different purpose in it. The students of English Education Department should learn more about the syntactical rules of the sentences in many sources because sometimes when the sentence has type with the other sentence; they will have different syntactical rules. The English teacher should use many references to teach the students about syntactical rules. So, the students will get many information or knowledge about syntactical rules.

ABSTRAKSI Anggraini, Defi. 2012. Analisis Sintaksis dalam Lirik Lagu Bahasa Inggris dalam Album “Thank You Allah” oleh Maher Zain. Skripsi. Program Studi Bahasa Inggris, Fakultas Keguruan dan Ilmu Pendidikan, Universitas Muria Kudus. Pembimbing: (i) Fitri Budi Suryani, SS, M. Pd., (ii) Rismiyanto, SS, M.Pd. Kata kunci: Sintaks, analisis, lirik lagu berbahasa Inggris. Sintaks adalah hubungan antara kata-kata dalam kalimat dan hubungan antara kalimat dan struktur kalimat. Hubungan antara kata dan kata lain yang akan membentuk frase, klausa, dan kalimat. Salah satu penulis lagu yaitu Maher Zain, menulis lirik lagu dalam album Thank You Allah. Album Thank You Allah adalah album lagu yang berisis tentang keagamaan dan semangat umat islam. Di sini saya menemukan beberapa kalimat dalam album Thank You Allah. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui (i) jenis-jenis kalimat dalam lirik lagu bahasa Inggris dalam album Thank You Allah oleh Maher Zain. (ii) Aturan sintaksis dalam lirik lagu dari album Thank You Allah oleh Maher Zain. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian deskriptif kualitatif. Data dikumpulkan dengan mencari dan mengumpulkan satu album dari lagu Maher Zain dan lirik lagu Maher Zain, dan mendengarkan serta membandingkan lagu dan lirik lagu untuk mendapatkan sumber-sumber data yang akurat. Hasil analisis dari jenis-jenis kalimat dalam lirik lagu bahasa Inggris dalam album Thank You Allah oleh Maher Zain menunjukkan bahwa ada 144 kalimat deklaratif, 15 kalimat tanya, 1 kalimat seru, dan 23 kalimat imperatif. Hampir semua kalimat yang digunakan dalam lirik lagu tersebut adalah kalimat deklaratif. Jadi, kalimat yang digunakan dalam lirik lagu tersebut menyatakan sebuah pernyataan atau memberikan informasi tentang sebuah kebenaran. Aturan sintaksis dalam lirik lagu bahasa inggris dalam album Thank You Allah sangatlah banyak. Aturan yang paling dominan adalah NP=N. Dalam lirik lagu ada 270 aturan dari NP=N dalam kalimat deklaratif, 36 aturan dari NP=N dalam kalimat perintah, 21 aturan dari NP=N dalam kalimat tanya dan 1 aturan dari NP=N dalam kalimat seru. Jadi, dalam lirik lagu tersebut banyak mengandung kata benda yang berfungsi sebagai subjek, objek langsung dan objek tidak langsung dari kalimat. Karena pada kenyataan bahwa sintaks adalah titik yang dibahas dalam tata bahasa, saya menyarankan mahasiswa Bahasa Inggris seharusnya tidak hanya mengetahui jenis-jenis dari kalimat saja, tetapi mereka juga seharusnya mengetahui tujuan dan makna yang terkandung dalam kalimat tersebut. Guru Bahasa Inggris seharusnya mengajar jenis-jenis dari kalimat dan juga tujuan dari kalimat itu sendiri. Sehingga siswa tidak hanya akan mengetahui jenis-jenis dari kalimat tetapi mereka juga akan mengetahui tujuan dari kalimat tersebut karena setiap kalimat mempunyai tujuan yang berbeda di dalamnya. Mahasiswa Bahasa Inggris seharusnya mempelajari tentang aturan-aturan sintaks dalam kalimat dari banyak sumber karena ketika sebuah kalimat mempunyai tipe kalimat yang berbeda dengankalimat yang lain, mereka akan mempunyai aturan sintaks yang berbeda juga. Gusnya menggunakan banyak sumber untuk mengajar aturan sintaksis dalam kalimat. Sehingga siswa akan mendapatkan banyak informasi dan pengetahuan. ix
