ABSTRACT

This qualitative data analysis sought to discover the various linguistic features and identify

the social leanings embedded in the 15 selected Philippine Nationalistic songs of the 70's

and 80's which exhibit cultural, social and political notions related to how Filipinos

retaliate and express their feelings towards the government during those era. Employing

qualitative design using discourse analysis, the linguistic nature of the data source –

Philippine nationalistic songs, the analysis, resulted to the prevailing linguistic features

which comprised the morphological processes, lexical features, phonological features,

semantic features and syntactic features of the nationalistic songs. Furthermore, it

emerged in the analysis that the social leanings embedded in the songs are nationalism,

patriotism, motivation, happiness, embracing the beauty and realities of life, political

chaos, call for unity, valuing strength, understanding meaning of life and unresolved

conflicts. Philippine Nationalistic songs therefore are rich in linguistic features making it

more meaningful to the listeners, as the songs mirror the emotions which embed social

leanings and lessons in life.
