Song Lyric : More Than Words - Westlife



Saying I love you
Is not the words I want to hear from you
It's not that I want you
Not to say, but if you only knew
How easy it would be to show me how you feel
More than words is all you have to do to make it real
Then you wouldn't have to say that you love me
Cos I'd already know

What would you do if my heart was torn in two
More than words to show you feel
That your love for me is real
What would you say if I took those words away
Then you couldn't make things new
Just by saying I love you
It's more than words
What you say is the thing  you do

Now I've tried to talk to you and make you understand
All you have to do is close your eyes
And just reach out your hands and touch me
Hold me close don't ever let me go
More than words is all I ever needed you to show

Learning Motivation

Gardner (1985:51) says it is possible to classify the reasons for second language learning so that they reflect some ultimate goal. Once classified, the various categories would seem best identified as orientations in order to maintain conceptual clarity. Ellis (1986:300) agrees with the need to classify the reasons for language learning when he puts forward that ‘motivation in language learning can be defined in terms of the learner’s overall goal or orientation.’ Gardner (1985:51) argues that ‘this terminology (orientations) was introduced by Gardner and Lambert (1972) when they focused on two types of orientations, integrative and instrumental, and subsequent studies have tended to focus on these orientations.’ Lambert (1974:98) states that a distinction is often made between the two types of orientation (integrative and instrumental). He observes that:  An integrative orientation toward language study reflects ‘a sincere and personal interest in the people and culture represented by the other group.’

Language Attitude


Language is a mental attitude or feelings towards the position of its own language or language of others (Kridalaksana, 2001:197). In the Indonesian language attitudes word can refer to the body shape, the upright standing position, behavior or gestures, and actions or action taken based on the view (establishment, beliefs, or opinions) as a reaction to the existence of a thing or event.

Attitude is a psychological phenomenon, which usually manifests in the form of action or behavior. Attitudes can not be observed directly. To observe the attitude can be seen through the behavior, but various studies show that what appears in the behavior does not always indicate attitudes. Vice versa, one's attitude is not always reflected in his behavior.

Circumstances and the attitude formation process is not far from the state language and the attitude formation process in general. As with the attitude, the attitude is also the language of mental events that can not be observed directly.

Lyric : The Day You Went Away - M2M



Well I could it be, When I was dreaming bout you baby
You dreaming of me, Call me crazy, Call me blind
To still be suffering is stupid after all this time

Did I lose my love to someone better

and does she love you like I do
I do, You know I really really do

Lyric : Dear God - Avenged Sevenfold

A lonely road, crossed another cold state line
Miles away from those I love purpose hard to find
While I recall all the words you spoke to me
Can't help but wish that I was there, Back where I'd love to be, oh yeah

Dear God the only thing I ask of you is
to hold her when I'm not around, when I'm much too far away
We all need that person who can be true to you
But I left her when I found her, And now I wish I'd stayed
’Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired, I'm missing you again oh no, Once again

Lyric : Lucky - Jason Mraz Featuring Colby Caillat

Do you hear me, I'm talking to you
Across the water across the deep blue ocean
Under the open sky, oh my, baby I'm trying
Boy I hear you in my dreams, I feel your whisper across the sea
I keep you with me in my heart, You make it easier when life gets hard

I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend, Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again, Ooohh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Lyric : The Spirite Carries on - Dream Theater

Where did we come from, Why all we here?
Where do we go when we die? What lies beyond
And what lay before? Is anything certain in life?

They say, "Life is too short," "The here and the now"
And "You're only given one shot" But could there be more,
Have I lived before, Or could this be all that we've got?

Lyric: I Don't Love You - My Chemical Romance



When you go
Don't ever think I'll make you try to stay
And maybe when you get back
I'll be off to find another way

And after all this time that you still owe
You're still the good-for-nothing I am not
So take your gloves and get out
Better get out
While you can

Lyric : Lenka - The Show



I'm just a little bit caught in the middle, Life is a maze and love is a riddle
I don't know where to go, can't do it alone, I've tried, and I don't know why...
Slow it down, make it stop, Or else my heart is going to pop
'Cause it's too much, yeah it's a lot, to be something I’m not
I'm a fool out of love, Cause I just can't get enough... 

Lyric : I Will be - Avril Lavigne

There’s nothing I could say to you
Nothing I could ever do to make you see
What you mean to me
All the pain the tears I cried
Still you never said goodbye and now I know how far you’d go
I know I let you down but it's not like that now
This time I’ll never let you go

I will be all that you want and get myself together
Cause you keep me from falling apart
All my life I’ll be with you forever
To get you through the day and make everything OK

Lyric: Bad Day - Daniel Powter


Where is the moment we needed the most
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
They tell me your blue skies fade to grey
They tell me your passion's gone away
And I don't need no carry' on

You stand in the line just to hit a new low
You're faking a smile with the coffee to go
You tell me your life's been way off line
You're falling to pieces every time
And I don't need no carry' on

Lyric: My Immortal - Evanescence


I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
'Cause your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

Lyric: My Happy Ending - Avril Lavigne



So much for my happy ending
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh...

Let's talk this over
It's not like we're dead
Was it something I did?
Was it something You said?
Don't leave me hanging
In a city so dead
Held up up so high
On such a breakable thread

You were all the things I thought I knew
And I thought we could be

[Chorus:]
You were everything, everything that I wanted
We were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it
And all the memories, so close to me, just fade away
All this time you were pretending
So much for my happy ending
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh...

You've got your dumb friends
I know what they say
They tell you I'm difficult
But so are they
But they don't know me
Do they even know you?
All the things you hide from me
All the shit that you do

You were all the things I thought I knew
And I thought we could be

[Chorus]

It's nice to know you were there
Thanks for acting like you cared
And making me feel like I was the only one
It's nice to know we had it all
Thanks for watching as I fall
And letting me know we were done

Lyric: I'm yours - Jason Mraz



Well you done done me and you bet I felt it
I tried to be chill but you’re so hot that I melted
I fell right through the cracks
and now I’m trying to get back


Before the cool done run out
I’ll be giving it my best-est
Nothing’s going to stop me but divine intervention
I reckon its again my turn to win some or learn some

Avril Lavigne - Complicated



    Uh huh life's like this
    Uh huh uh huh that's the way it is
    'Cause life's like this
    Uh huh Uh huh that's the way it is

Chill out what ya yelling for
Lay back it's all been done before
And if you could only let it be
You will see,

A Thousand Years - Christiana Perri



Heart beats fast Colors and promises
How to be brave how can I love when I'm afraid
To fall but watching you stand alone
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow
One step closer

(Chorus) I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling' don't be afraid I have loved you
For a Thousand years I'll love you for a Thousand more

Sita - Donna Donna



On a wagon bound for market
there?s a calf with a mournful eye.
High above him there?s a swallow,
winging swiftly through the sky.


Reff:

How the winds are laughing,
they laugh with all their might.
Laugh and laugh the whole day through,
and half the summers night.

The Legend of Prambanan Temple



People often refer to Prambanan temple Larajonggrang by name, a label which is actually wrong because it should Rara Jonggrang. Rara said in the Java language to describe girls. In folklore, Rara Jonggrang known as the daughter of King Baka Queen whose name is immortalized as a heritage building complex in the hills south of Candi Prambanan. Saragedug in the story there is a gallant knight named Bandung Bandawasa. He has supernatural strength and wanted to marry the daughter Rara Jonggrang to be a wife. Rara Jonggrang is the beautiful daughter of a king named King Baka, who reigned over the mountain Boko at the palace south of Prambanan. However, Rara Jonggrang is not like it.

Clause Relations



Clause relations are the building blocks of these sequences, as demonstrated with the following examples (Hoey 1994:27). The clause-relational approach to written text, where it was stressed that the units of written discourse, rather than always being co-extensive with sentences (though they sometimes are), were best seen as functional segments (of anything from phrasal to paragraph length) which could be related to one another by a finite set of cognitive relations, such as cause-consequence, instrument-achievement, temporal sequence, and matching relations such as contrasting and equivalence. Individual segments of texts combined to form the logical structure of the whole and to form certain characteristic patterns (such as problem-solution). The sequencing of segments and how the relations between them are signalled were viewed as factors in textual coherence (see Winter 1977; Hoey 1983).

Discourse – semantics: cohesion in text



This chapter concentrates on exploring the nature of the highest stratum of language: the stratum of meanings, or the discourse-semantics of language.
Halliday and Hasan (1976: 1) offer the definition of the text that provides a starting point for an exploration of text. They suggest that a text is: “any passage (of language), spoken or written, of whatever length, that does from a unified whole (1976:1). In describing how a text forms a unified whole, Halliday and Hasan introduced the concept of texture. Texture is the property that distinguishes text from non text: a text “has texture”. Texture is what holds the clauses of a text together to give them unity.
Coherence refers to the way a group of clauses or sentences relate to the context (Halliday and Hasan 1976:23).
A text has situational coherence  when we can think of one situation in which all the clauses of the text could occur.

CONTEXT OF SITUATION: REGISTER

Systemic linguists are interested in exploring just how context gets into text. In transcribing the daily life and events of the Trobriand Islanders, Malinowski found that it was impossible to make sense of literal, or word for word translation from their language into English. In part Malinowski argued that this indicated the need for the researcher to understand the cultural context in which the language was being used:
the study of any language, spoken by a people who live under conditions different from our own and possess a different culture, must be carried out in conjunction with the study of their culture and their environment (1946: 306).
Malinowksi claimed that language only becomes intelligible when it is placed within its context of situation.
