Song lyric sometimes uses person deixis. Therefore I use deixis analysis to analyze sentence in song lyric. As Yule (1996:3) underlined that pragmatic is study of speaker meaning. It means that pragmatic is concerned with the study of meaning as communicated by the speaker and interpreted by listener. Pragmatic is a study focused on deictic, reference, entailment, and speech act. The use of language in communication gives more easiness to the language user such as referring system. Sometimes there is misunderstanding of meaning and intention between language users. That misunderstanding related to understanding of utterance meaning with reference. In order to understand a reference of utterance, reader or listener should be able to identify the contexts of utterance. Deixis is a study to describe the relation between language and contexts in language structure itself.

Today, money has made many people believe that you need to have a lot of money to live a great, happy life. People in the world, especially the people who don’t have as much money as the ones that do, look up to people like popular idols, because they have money. People think they have a great living life with all the money they have earned during their lives. In the short story “Why You Reckon?” by Langston Hughes, the author uses diction, colloquialism and dialect to express the fact that just because people have the money to go out to eat somewhere expensive or buy the newest clothes, does not mean that a person is happy all the time and expresses how people in the town talks.

Throughout the story of The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde, Oscar pointed out many oblivious actions done by the characters. He constantly used the characters to exaggerate actions of our society today.
