Research and Innovation in Language Learning 4(2), 103- 118 http://dx.doi.org/10.33603/rill.v%vi%i.4342 Background In the beginning of April 2020, Aisyah Istri Rasulullah becomes one of videos that dominates trending video lists on YouTube. YouTube is a channel of collective creative activities as well as a part of mainstream media via internet (Wirga, 2016, p.15), and content creators that apply YouTube as the platform to share ideas and creativities through the video contents they create (Cecariyani & Sukendro, 2018; Mahameruaji, Puspitasari, Rosfiantika, & Rahmawan, 2014). YouTube has become an interactive platform to directly convey message through the contents provided such as sharing knowledge, providing music news and videos, delivering speech and preach, etc (Kurniasih, 2019, p. 239). More than 20 song videos of Aisyah Istri Rasulullah have been recorded controlling YouTube trending pages. It motivates many Indonesian musicians are competing to cover the song to be uploaded on their YouTube channel, including Anisa Rahman, Sabyan, Syakir Daulay, Andre Taulany, Ria Ricis, Aviwkila, and Brisia Jodie (Hadiansyah, 2020). Aisyah Istri Rasulullah song is firstly popularized by Projector Band, a Malaysian band. The song is originally entitled Aisyah (a.k.a Satu Dua Tiga http://dx.doi.org/10.33603/rill.v%25vi%25i.4342 Research and Innovation in Language Learning 4(2) May 2021 p-ISSN 2614-5960, e-ISSN 2615-4137 105 Cinta Kamu) composed by Razif bin Zainuddin that has been released on May 2017 by Label Map Music (Awaliyah & Dwinanda, 2020) On August 2017, the song was appeared in religious version that is recomposed by Hasbi Haji Muh Ali or known as Mr. Bie. The Malaysian youtuber later popularized it by uploading the song video on his YouTube channel, Vitaminbie, with a new title Aisyah Istri Rasulullah and several changes on the song Lyrics that led to the romantic story of Rasulullah and his wife, Aisyah (Riandi, 2020). The Aisyah Istri Rasulullah song becomes popular in Indonesia as many youtubers try to reproduce it by their own version. This brings up controversion from several parties. Such In term of the content, the lyrics are considered as less ethical lyrics in case of describing the great and intelligent Aisyah RA as Ummul Mukminin. This case ends up with the appearance of the new lyrics of the song that don‟t only focus to depict the romantic story of Rasulullah SAW and Aisyah RA but also the intelligence of Aisyah RA. (Awaliyah & Dwinanda, 2020b). However, the controversy over the content of Aisyah Istri Rasulullah song doesn‟t make its popularity recede. Anisa Rahman, one of the singers that covers that song, responded the critics coming from several parties by changing several song lyrics and title to Sayyidah Aisyah Istri Rasulullah and reupload the song video on her YouTube channel. The Sayyidah title for the great and intelligence Aisyah RA is used to give the honor to the wife of the prophet Muhammad SAW. The object analysis in this research is the transformation toward several song lyrics and title of Sayyidah Aisyah Istri Rasulullah. In the term of content, the song lyrics will be analyzed by cognitive linguistics. Cognitive linguistics applied to identify how the meaning of the song is conveyed (Arifin, 2017). People may interpret the text cognitively and it is very possible that every people come with their own interpretation (Kusmanto, 2019). Cognitive linguistics is a branch of linguistic studies that analyze meaning from multi-faceted and it is aplicative in all fields especially in human (Kristiansen, Achard, Dirven, & Ibanez, 2006; Wang & Berwick, 2012). As the communication tool, language contains thoughts, desires, or feelings that belong to a speaker or a writer (Kurniasih, 2017). In vocabulary research, cognitive linguistics has a Kurniasih, D., & Umamah, M. 106 p-ISSN 2614-5960, e-ISSN 2615-4137 significant role, particularly in describing the word meaning from the aspect of its cognitive semantics (Yohani, 2016). Cognitive semantics works to explore human natural interaction that is related with their world and environment. Cognitive semantics is not only limited to discuss the linguistic scope which is covered in the dictionary but also an entrance for the other macro studies such as human culture and experience (Wiradharma & WS, 2016, p.7). Evan and Green states that the cognitive semantics principle is concept formation, semantic structure, meaning representation, and meaning construction (Evans & Green, 2006. p.48). Particularly, cognitive semantics is applied to investigate conceptual structure (science representation) and conceptualization (meaning construction) (Wiradharma & WS, 2016, p.10). Cognitive semantics defines metaphor as the cognitive process of conceptualization which depends on the mapping of two sectors, or three (1) source domain, (2) target domain, (3) a set of mapping relation or correspondences (Croft & Cruse, 2004, p.201). Metaphors are a universal aspect of the human experience and are a natural consequence that occurs over and over again in everyday life (Wnuk & Ito, 2021: 196). Conceptually, metaphors that occur in natural language are based on systematic binding between the source domain and the specified target (Lederer, 2019: 167). Metaphor is not only used to deliver message but also to think about something (Fatikhudin, 2018; Nirmala, 2014). Lakoff and Johnson explain that metaphor has three types, (1) ontological metaphor, (2) structural metaphor, (3) orientational metaphor (Lakoff & Johnson, 1980). According to Saeed (2003), imagery scheme is an important part of cognitive semantics conceptual structure. In addition, imagery scheme is the structure of meaning obtained from the experience as the result of how a body interact with the environment. This experience is beneficial for getting abstract and logical understanding. Metafora Konseptual dalam Lirik Lagu Band Revolverdherld Album In Farbe in the journal of Sawerigading is the study related to cognitive semantics on the song lyrics by Dessiliona & Nur, 2018). The result of the study indicates that the songs of Research and Innovation in Language Learning 4(2) May 2021 p-ISSN 2614-5960, e-ISSN 2615-4137 107 Revolverheld band are created to tell about life journey, love story, and grief. There are 27 conceptual metaphor found in the study that are later categorized into 11 ontological metaphor, 2 orientational metaphor, and 14 structural metaphor. The study also shows the result of the Imagery schemes that are found, 1 space schemes, 2 scale schemes, 4 force schemes, 4 identity schemes, 3 unity/multiplicity schemes, 5 container schemes, and 8 existence schemes. The other related studies also has been done by Nucifera (2018), Analisis Semantik Kognitif pada Lirik Lagu Daerah Aceh Bungong Jeumpa published in the journal of Jurnal Samudra Bahasa. The result of the study shows that the use of metaphor on Bungong Jeumpa song lyrics refers to the women in Aceh as the object depicted through the song. The message that is delivered in a traditional song are delivered by using metaphors in order to sound beautifully but have deep sense of meaning if the meaning is discovered. Both of the studies have similarity in examining song lyrics by cognitive semantics approach with this research. However, both of them have some differences such as the object which is analyzed and theoretical framework kinds of metaphor discussed in cognitive semantics. This study will identify cognitive semantics conceptualization on Sayyidah Aisyah Istri Rasulullah song lyrics. This song is chosen to analyze as it is currently viral on social media and several times controlling trending lists on YouTube, and it will provide new insights for readers as limited analysis on this phenomenon. The lyrics depict how the romance of Prophet Muhammad and his wife Aisyah is. In addition, the process of composing the song lyrics comes from several valid hadits. The interesting thing which comes from this song is that the process of converting hadits into a song so that people could enjoy must require an analysis and process of human cognition as the song is about a great influencer of Islamic civilization over the world while the composer is not the witness of story events. Thus, there is the use of language as a process of human cognition manifested in the form of songs (Wiradharma & WS, 2016). This study is aimed to discuss metaphor which is categorized by Lakoff and Johnson into three kinds, structural metaphor, orientational metaphor, and ontological metaphor found in Sayyidah Aisyah Istri Rasulullah song lyrics. Kurniasih, D., & Umamah, M. 108 p-ISSN 2614-5960, e-ISSN 2615-4137 Methods This research includes qualitative descriptive types. According to (Creswell, 2009, p. 173) qualitative research is a method that uses text and images with interesting steps in analyzing data as well as using diverse research strategies. Qualitative research aims to gain insights related to the construction of reality that occurs to be interpreted (Cropley, 2019: 10). The strategy used in this study is content analysis. According to (Weber, 1990: 9) content studies are an interesting way of concluding with efforts to obtain messages that are done objectively and systematically. Content analysis is used in the study of human behavior by analyzing the communication contained in novels, short stories, newspapers, textbooks, and so on (Frankel & Wallen, 2012). The source of the data from this study is the lyrics of the song Aisha Istri Rasulullah. Data collection was done by recording the the song Aisha Istri Rasulullah. Recording technique is a data capture technique by recording the results of data weeding (Sudaryanto, 2015, p.203). Then the data were classified based on research needs and analyzed using cognitive semantic studies in the form of Lakoff and Johnson metaphorical theories. Data analysis techniques used interactive analysis techniques. Interactive model, is qualitative data analysis with three flows (data reduction, data presentation, and verification) (Miles & Huberman, 1994, p.16). Findings and discussion This part of study is arranged based on metaphor classification. Generally, the result shows that structural metaphor is mostly found. There are 4 imagery schemes that are identified, identity (matching), space (up-down), and existence (object, bounded space, cycle) (Lakoff & Johnson, 1980).. The analysis of structural, orientational, and ontological metaphor found in the Sayyidah Aisyah Istri Rasulullah song lyrics is presented below. Structural Metaphor Structural metaphor is a metaphorical concept which is constructed from one structure to another based on two domains, source domain (RSu) and target domain (RSa) (Haula, 2018; Haula & Nur, 2019). The findings of structural metaphor on Sayyidah Research and Innovation in Language Learning 4(2) May 2021 p-ISSN 2614-5960, e-ISSN 2615-4137 109 Aisyah Istri Rasulullah song lyric with its different imagery schemes identification are presented as follows (1) Mulia indah cantik berseri (Glorious beautiful radiant beauty) Kulit putih bersih merah dipipimu (Pure white skin red on your cheeks) 1 indicates metaphorical expression. The RSu is mulia indah cantik berseri, kulit putih bersih merah di pipimu and Sayyidah Aisyah Istri Rasulullah is identified as the RSa. This datum is categorized as structural metaphor as both of phrases in datum (1) refers to physical characteristics of Aisyah RA. The similar concept that is identified from RSu and RSa indicates imagery scheme of identity (matching). Aisyah RA has a beautiful face and white skin. That is why the Prophet Muhammad SAW calls her Humaiira (reddish white). This is supported by hadits narrated by Ibn Majah. Ibnul Atsir also explains in An-Nihayah (1/1044) as follows, “He (Rasulullah SAW) often calls her (Aisyah) 'Ya Humaira' which is a form of tashghir (smaller form of thing) from 'Hamra' (red) while what is meant by is refers to white." (2) Hingga Nabi minum dibekas minummu (Until the Prophet drank your drinking imprint) 2 is structural metaphor as in the part dibekas minummu shows how the Prophet Muhammad SAW loves his wife Aisyah RA. The RSu of this datum is dibekas minummu while the target domain (RSa) leads to the Prophet Muhammad SAW and Aisyah RA. The metaphor concept identified in datum (2) indicates the existence imagery scheme of an object. The following hadits explains how Rasulullah expresses his love to Aisyah by drinking on the same drink from the same glass as Aisyah RA. Aisyah RA said, “I drank when I was mestruating, then I gave it to the Prophet sallallaahu‟ alaihi wasallam, then he put his mouth on the place of mine. I also ever bit a meat when I was getting period, then- the rest of the meat – I gave it to the Prophet, then he also put his mouth on the same part of the meat where I bit it (HR. Ahmad: 24373). Kurniasih, D., & Umamah, M. 110 p-ISSN 2614-5960, e-ISSN 2615-4137 3 Bila marah Nabi kan mencanda mencubit hidungmu (When angry the Prophet jokingly pinches your nose) 3 is categorized into phrase that has structural metaphor expression. The word mencanda shows the expression of love and affection of the Prophet Muhammad SAW toward his wife Aisyah RA. The word mencanda is identified as the RSu while the RSa leads to Aisyah RA. The identification of RSu and RSa concept indicates the existence imagery scheme of an object. It is known from hadits that explains that the Prophet Muhamamd SAW pinched Aisyah‟s nose when she was angry. “When she was angry, then the Prophet Muhammad SAW pinched her nose and said," O 'Uwaisy (Aisyah‟s nickname), say,' O Allah, the Lord of Muhammad, forgive my sin, please remove the anger in my heart and save me from the misleading slander. ” (HR. Ibn Sunni: 455). 4 Kau istri tercinta (You beloved wife) The metaphorical sense in the datum (4) is identified by supperlative degree of word tercinta. The source of domain is tercinta while Aisyah RA is the target domain. The word tercinta means “loved” or “liked” the most. This concept of structural metaphor indicates the imagery scheme of existence in the form of an object. A hadits below proves the statement that Aisyah is the most beloved wife of Prophet Muhammad SAW. It comes from „Amr bin Al-„Ash radhiyallahu „anhu, he said that one day he asked Rasulullah shallallahu „alaihi wa sallam a question.“Who do you love the most” He answered, “Aisyah”. He asked him again, “Who is the man that you love the most? He answered, “Her father (Abu Bakar Ash-shhiddiq)” (HR. Bukhari: 3662 and Muslim: 2384). (5) Bahkan Baginda mengajak main lari-lari (Even the prophet invited to run around) The metaphorical expression in datum (5) is identified from the phrase mengajak main lari-lari. The RSu refers to lyric mengajak main lari-lari while the RSa leads to Aisyah RA. The lyric mengajak main lari-lari shows that in expressing his love to his beloved wife Aisyah RA, The Prophet Muhamad SAW is playing a running with her. In the case Research and Innovation in Language Learning 4(2) May 2021 p-ISSN 2614-5960, e-ISSN 2615-4137 111 of it, Rasulullah SAW married Aisyah RA in very young age of her. The imagery scheme is notified from this metaphorical expression is the existence of an object. The event described in datum (5) comes from the hadits below. “Aisyah RA said, once I accompanied the Prophet Muhammad SAW in a journey. I was young and my body was thin. Rasulullah SAW said to his followers, „Please go first‟. So they went ahead of the Prophet Muhamamd SAW. Then Rasulullah said to me, „Come here, I will take you to a race‟. So I accepted him, then I succeeded in defeating Rasulullah SAW, and then he was silent at that time. Until one day my body was not thin anymore, and I forgot what the journey will go. He said to his followers, „Please go first‟. So they went ahead of Rasulullah SAW. Then he said to me, „Come here, I'll come back to invite you to a race‟. So I fulfilled his invitation, then he succesfully made me defeat. He laughed and said, „This is my revenge‟.(HR. Ahmad). Orientational Metaphor Orinetational metaphor is metaphor that is oriented with space, such as top-down, inside-outside, front-back.

I said to myself, „This means that he chose to leave all of us. Aisyah understood that it is what he wanted to say to us. Aisyah continued, that is the last word that the Prophet Muhammad sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam said, „O Allah, meet me with my highest lover‟ (HR. Bukhari).

The love story of Rasulullah SAW and her wife Aisyah RA is not like fictional stories that people are used to write and read which is built up by imagination and illusion. Datum (13) indicates the existence imagery scheme of bounded space for finite space. This study classifies metaphor in the song lyrics of Sayyidah Aisyah Istri Rasulullah into three kinds, structural metaphor, orientational metaphor, and ontological metaphor. The metaphorical expression found in the song lyrics dominantly indicate the existence imagery scheme in different elements, such as object and bounded space for finite space. The use of metaphors in song lyrics as a media is to interpret the meaning so that public could get the meaning well. The metaphor attached to a song is aimed to soften, to beautify the purpose and desire to convey the meaning of the song (Nucifera, 2018). The characteristic of metaphor which is identified in the song lyrics Sayyidah Aisyah Istri Rasulullah is the use of the concrete lexemes which are supported by several hadits. The sorting of concrete lexemes depends on the purpose of the writer to deliver the message to the audiences through the song lyrics. This discovers that the listener cognitively has experience in sensing the expressions used by songwriters. The result of this study is similar with (Nucifera, 2018) which reveals that the metaphor in song lyrics Research and Innovation in Language Learning 4(2) May 2021 p-ISSN 2614-5960, e-ISSN 2615-4137 115 is written in concrete words for the better understanding. Metaphors are also used to beautify the song when it plays. The results of this study regarding the use of concrete words in song lyrics are different with the result of the research by (Wiradharma & Tharik, 2016). The metaphor characteristic found by Wiradharma and Tharik is the depiction of a social reality in society that concretizes an abstract concept, for example, the word sambalado which means love statement and promises which are only on the mouth and are not proven, swear to say about someone‟s negative behavior, for example, buaya buntung which means someone who causes other people to become loss; and triggers the mindset of the listener or reader to talk about the incident or event that becomes the topic. Metaphor is also used to soften the wors that are still considered taboo. In cognitive semantic perspective, the metaphor found in the song lyrics of Sayyidah Aisyah Istri Rasulullah is the result of a cognitive process from the songwriter to show the similarities between the source and target domain. The metaphorical expression used is a cognitive process from a writer to conceptualize the experience felt by his/her body in describing the events or experiences that are experienced, felt, and thought. The tool used to express the cognitive process is a metaphor as a part of language (Haula & Nur, 2019). Many people doesn‟t relize that they often use mapping, transforming, or transferring from one form to another, from concrete to abstract (Lyra, 2006). The use of metaphors in the lyrics of Sayyidah Aisyah Istri Rasulullah aims to convey the content with the light words that are easy to understand. Considering that many people do not feel that they know the hadits about the romance of the Prophet's life with Aisyah RA, of this song as the essence of several hadits can provide knowledge to the audiences in a practical and concrete way. The choice of words and phrases containing metaphorical expressions in this study can provide an understanding of the types and meanings used in the song lyrics of Sayyidah Aisyah istri Rasulullah. This study is similar with the results of research by (Nirmala, 2014) which shows that in producing metaphorical expressions, humans are able to use their creativity in choosing and determining the concepts of metaphor. Practically, the results of this study are expected Kurniasih, D., & Umamah, M. 116 p-ISSN 2614-5960, e-ISSN 2615-4137 to provide an overview of the role of metaphors in romantic song lyrics based on hadits. Conceptual metaphors in song lyrics reflect the writer's perceptions and thoughts. In addition, this research is expected to provide perceptions or imagery schemes that are identified from these metaphors. Conclusion and further research The metaphors found in the lyrics of Sayyidah Aisyah Istri Rasulullah can be classified into three types, structural metaphor, orientational metaphor, and ontological metaphor. The total of structural metaphors is 5 data, orientational and ontological metaphor are 4 data. The purpose of metaphors found in the song lyrics indicates several concepts pf imagery scheme, identity (matching), circumstance (existence) of an object (object), the imagery space (space) of up-down, and the existence of bounded space for finite space. The characteristic of metaphor found in Sayyidah Aisyah Istri Rasululullah song lyrics is the use of concrete lexemes that are strongly linked to several hadits. The use of concrete words as diction is determined by the songwriter's goal of conveying message easily to the audiences. This study is only a small unit of cognitive linguistics studies especially metaphors, so it requires a broader study using different approaches and studies. The next research is needed to produce new findings in order to enrich the linguistic studies in many aspects. Further research can use more complex data and theoretical studies than this study to complement the diversity of linguistic studies in song lyrics. This research can also be conducted with other theoretical reviews, for example, using pragmatics theory to analyze the research findings. References Arifin, F. (2017).
