Abstract

Being of high importance in the life of young people, the genre of lyrics has recently appeared in the requirements of school leaving exams. More and more scientific articles investigate lyrics, primarily when comparing them with sophisticated poetic texts. Rhetorical analysis proves to be useful for the analysis of lyrics – among others for its complexity. This study is based on a questionnaire survey where questions have been compiled with the understanding that listening to music is a rhetorical situation. This study, placing Burke’s theory of identification (as a unifying force aiming at the elimination of alienation) in the centre, investigates whether lyrics contributes to the effect of the song, what role repetition as a figure of speech has, and what methods of reaching the listener take care of the success of persuasion.
