Title

ANALYSIS OF COMPLAINING STRATEGIES IN THE HOLLYWOOD SONG “IF I WERE A BOY” BY BEYONCE KNOWLES

Abstract

In this digital era, complaining has become so pervasive that it creeps into our conversations from the dinner table to our workplace. A complaint is incomplete without three main elements: a speaker, a listener, and a signaling system or language. Language plays a crucial part in our lives to inform people around us of what we feel, what we desire and question or understand the world around us. The fundamental function of language is communication. Songs are one of the greatest creations of human kind in the course of history. It is creativity in a pure and undiluted form and format. The speech act is an utterance considered as an action, particularly with regards to its intention, purpose or effect. Jane Austin claims that many utterances are equivalent to actions which means without performing an action by mere words action can be performed. Songs reflect the society, what’s present in the society creates an impact on the songs written by various songwriters and hence songs are incomplete without complaints, be it any romantic song, sad song or an inspiring one. Complaints can be found in every song about the lover, the world or the people. In this study, the lyrics of a Hollywood song “If I were a boy” by an American singer Beyonce Knowles has been used for the analysis of complaining act. The study illuminates how complaints are being used in our daily lives through songs and has become a part of it. Complaints are becoming human nature so the effect of the complaints can also be seen in songs.
