Abstract

P. Ramlee ialah seorang penggubah muzik Melayu yang berbakat dan prolifik. Penglibatan beliau sebagai seorang penggubah lagu di Malaysia sangat berkait rapat dengan filem Malaysia, di mana dia terlibat secara aktif. Tujuan tulisan ini adalah untuk menilai khusus kepada lirik yang difikirkan oleh beliau. Penulis menganalisis lirik melalui teknik ikonistik yang ditafsirkan sebagai menyumbang kepada elemen fizikal, psikologi, sosial, dan ekonomi. Semua teknik yang digunakan dalam lirik telah digunakan didasarkan pada teori semiotik Charles Sanders Pierce (1831- 1914). Teori ini menekankan sistem triadik, iai tu representamen, interpretant, dan objek dan berkembang kepada tiga trikotomi Peircien. Tiga trikotomi yang dimaksudkan ini ialah ikon, indeks, dan simbol sebagai trikotomi kedua (Secondness) , tanda-tanda yang berkaitan dengan qualisign, sinsign, dan legisign sebagai trikotomi pertama (Firstness). Peirce juga mencatatkan bahawa terdapat tanda-tanda seperti rheme, discisign dan argument sebagai trikotomi ketiga (Thirdne$s). Semua tanda ini muncul dalam fikiran penulis ketika mentafsir lirik lagu-lagu P. Ramlee. Penelitian penulisan ini menggunakan dua kaedah dalam menganalisis data, iaitu melalui kaedah kuantitatif dan kualitatif. Kaedah kualitatif meliputi analisis data yang diperolehi daripada analisis lirik dan kaedah kuantitatif melibatkan tafsiran data.
