CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION

In this chapter the researcher will explain the background of study, the reasons for choosing topic of the research, statement of the problem of the research, the objective of the study, the limitation of the problem, and significance of the study.

A. Background of study

People are both individual and social creature. As a social creature, people need to interact with other people. Interaction cannot be separated from communication. Communication means sending message or idea from a human to the other human.

In communicating, people need the media. People usually use sign, written letters, or spoken voice as media to communicate with others. As we know, communication means sending message from people to other people. It is clear enough that the purpose of the communication is to make the responder knows the message from the source correctly. People need a media to know what the other people mean. This media is called language. Language is the media on the communication field, whether it is sign language, written language or spoken language. Language convey people‟s message so the other people can see and understand that message.

Language which is used in society is so various. Every region has their language. One place to the other place has various ways in conveying the language. The variant of the language use that affected by social condition can be studied in sociolinguistic.

One of topic discussed in sociolinguistic field is language variety.

Language variety, based on the language use, it sub-classified into register and style. Style is language variation that caused by situational factors like setting, addressee, or topic. Someone will use formal language in certain situation and use informal language in other situation. That kind of language variety can be found in our daily life. We can also analyze style in a movie because movie is the reflection of people‟s life.

Nowadays, movie has been produced in massive quantity by very big production house or even by independent people. A good movie is a movie which give attention in every single detail of its component. One of the components that should be considered is language. A good movie usually has a language that match with the setting, such as time, location, social condition etc, even when the movie is just fiction.

A movie needs researches and observations before it is made. Based on research and observation, the movie maker can decide the appropriate language used in the interaction. After finishing that step, the interaction between the characters in the movie can reflect the real social interaction that usually happens in real condition. Here, we can analyze the language style.

CHAPTER II

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

A. Previous Study

In previous study, the researcher presents two thesis that have same

topic with the researcher‟s thesis. The first study is written by Emilya

Somia Miseuri. Her thesis title is Language Style In King‟s Speech Movie.

The objective of her research is to find out the frequency of all

kinds of language style used in The King‟s Speech Movie. The object of

her thesis is the movie script of The King‟s Speech movie. The method is

documentation. The first step, she read the movie script. Second is

identifying the types of language style. Next is finding the dominant

frequency of the types of the language style. The last is counting the

percentage of language style. She identifying and classifying 339

dialogues into their types. 15 Frozen language style (4,4%), 62 Formal

language style (18,2%), 187 Consultative language style (55,1%), 71

Casual language style (20,9%),4 Intimate language style (1,1%). She

found out that Consultative is the most dominant type of language style

used in King‟s speech movie.

The second thesis is written by Siti Zulaekho. The title is Language

style of Muluk in Alangkah Lucunya Negri Ini Movie . The objective of her

research is to find out and classifying language style and language function

6

7

use by Muluk In Alangkah Lucunya Negri ini movie. The object of the thesis is the Muluk‟s dialogue on Alangkah Lucunya Negri Ini movie script. She analyze the data by Watching and closely observing Alangkah

Lucunya Negeri Ini movie. Then she Label and classify Muluk‟s utterances based on the types of language style and functions. Next is

Analyzing Muluk‟s utterances based on the characteristics of language style And Analyzing the factors that influence the language choice. The last is Presenting the data analysis. The data shows that not all the type of language style and language function found in Muluk‟s utterance. Muluk only uses formal, consultative, casual and intimate language style.

Whereas for the language function Muluk only uses expressive, phatic, directive, and metalingual. The most dominant language style is causal.

She doesn‟t find frozen language style. It happens because the setting of the movie is informal. The most dominant language style of this movie is directive, because the movie mostly show the scene of Muluk explain his program for the thief.

Based on the previous study, the researcher decides to choose the same topic about language style. The differences are on the object and the scope. Emilya analyzes all of the dialogue on the movie script, she analyzes the language style but not analyze the factors influence the use of the language in the movie. Siti only analyze the utterance of one character in the movie. She also analyzes the language style and analyzes the factors influence the use of the language. This research analyzes only one

8

character of the movie. This research also analyzes the language style and

analyzes the factors that influence it. Emily used the King Speech movie

as her object. Siti used character Muluk in Alangkah Lucunya Negri Ini as

her object. The object of this research is the character Robert Angier in

The Prestige movie.

B. Sociolinguistic

Language is a media to conduct a communication. Language is

the mediator between society to communicate. People will understand

each other if they know the language. We cannot separate the society

from language. We study the correlation between society and language in

sociolinguistic.

According to Holmes (2001:1), particularly, sociolinguistics

studies the relationship between language and society. They are interested

in explaining why people speak differently in different social contexts,

and they are concerned with identifying the social functions of language

and the ways it is used to convey social meaning. Meanwhile, Finegan &

Biber (1994: 3) say that the term sociolinguistics draws a distinction

between “the sociology of language”, with a focus on sociological

matters, and “sociolinguistics”, with a focus on language. Meanwhile,

Wardaugh (2006:13) quoted in Hudson (1996:4) stated that

sociolinguistics is „the study of language in relation to society,‟ whereas

the sociology of language is „the study of society in relation to language.‟

9

In other words, in sociolinguistics we study language and society in order to find out as much as we can about what kind of thing language is, and in the sociology of language we reverse the direction of our interest.

Tagliamonte (2006:3) explains that sociolinguistics argues that language exist in context, dependent on the speaker who is using it, and dependent on where it is being used and why. Speakers mark their personal history and identity in their speech as well as their sociocultural, economic, and geographical coordinates in time and space. Indeed, some researcher would argue that, since speech obviously social, to study it without reference to Society would be like studying behavior without relating the behavior of one partner to that of the other.

According to Meyerhoff (2006:1) everyone can modify the way they speak depending on who they are with or what the situation is. When they do this, they are drawing on their sociolinguistic knowledge. Meanwhile,

Wardaugh (2006:10) stated that there are several possible relationships between language and society. One is that social structure may either influence or determine linguistic structure and/or behavior. Certain evidence may be adduced to support this view: the age-grading phenomenon whereby young children speak differently from older children and, in turn, children speak differently from mature adults; studies which show that the varieties of language that speakers use reflect such matters as their regional, social, or ethnic origin and possibly even their gender; and other studies which show that particular ways of speaking,

10

choices of words, and even rules for conversing are in fact highly

determined by certain social requirements.

From the explanations above, the researcher concludes that

sociolinguistic is a study of language that used in society. Every person

may have different language in different situation. The use of the

language is influenced by their sociocultural condition, economic

condition, geographic condition. Sociolinguistic tries to collaborate all

things related to the use of language in the society by its social community

in its social interaction

Sociolinguistics is the study of the characteristics of language

varieties, the characteristics of their function, and the characteristics of

their speakers as these three constantly interact, change and one change

one another within a speech community ( J.A Fishman in Chaer. 2004:3).

Language variety is an important branch of sociolinguistics. Language .

C. Language Variety

1. Definition of Language Variety

Sociolinguistics talks about language variety. Variation in language

happens because people from all around the world have their own

language which is differ from one to others.

Wardhaugh ( 2006 :25) defines language variety as a set of human

speech patterns (sounds, words, and grammatical features) that are related

to external factors such as geographical area and social group.

11

Meyerhoff (2006:28) explain that language variety is language which is systematically different from others on the basis of pronunciation, grammar and vocabulary. Meanwhile, Hudson (1996: 22) defines that a variety of language as a set of linguistic items with similar social distribution because what makes one variety of language different from another is the linguistic items.

From the definitions above, language variety is a set of linguistic item that used by community or person that are influenced by external factor.

People may use different pronunciation, grammar or vocabulary because there are different external factor that influencing it. The differences can be seen on the pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary.

2. Classification Of Language variety

Language variety classified to some terms. They classified according

to the external factors and the patterns of the language.

Language variety, according to Holmes (2001:123-223), can be classified based on the user and the use:

1. Based on the User

Based on the user, language variety consists of five kinds, namely:

1) Standard language

12

Standard language, as Holmes (1992:76) puts it, is a prestigious language that has undergone some degrees of regulation and codification. It is usually used by educated and prestigious members of the community. E.g. A manager will say “let‟s we begin our meeting today” not “okay, start the meeting!” when he/ she holds meeting with his/ her business partners.

2) Dialect

Dialect is defined as different vocabularies, grammars, and pronunciations because of geographical area and the social group of the speakers (Holmes,

1992:147). Dialect is classified into geographical, social, and chronological dialects. E.g. “which „otel are you staying old chap” The top social classes in England dropped the (h) at the beginning of words like hotel and herb.

3) Idiolect

According to Wardaugh (2006:151), idiolect refers to the speech characteristics and linguistic behavior of individuals. E.g. A person says,

“Please turn on the cool blazterz” while another says, “Please turn on the air conditioner”

4) Jargon

13

Fomkin, Rodman, Hyams (2006: 475) stated that Jargon is set of words that use on specific field such as profession, trade, occupation for example, the terms “strike” in bowling game means all targets knocked down. While in fishing, “strike” means got fish.

5) Vernacular

Holmes (1992:74) suggests that vernacular is “a language which has not been standardized and has no official status”. It is used in everyday communication at home and between close friends. E.g. A mother says

“what did you learn from school, son?” to her son. Not “May I know about your study in the school?”

2. Based on the Use

Based on the use, there are two kinds of language variety that is, style and register.

1) Style

Style is the kind of language variety in which the speaker selects certain linguistic forms rather than others that contain the same information

(Holmes, 1992:223). In Language style, the use of language affected by external factors such as sociocultural condition, economic condition or geographical condition. For example, a bank teller will say “wait for a moment, please!” (formal) to the customer. In opposition, he/ she will say

“wait a minute man !” (informal) to the office boy.

14

2) Register

Holmes (1992:246) defines register as an “occupational style”,

meaning that it is the language of a particular group of people or the

language used in a specific situation. Register related with someone‟s

occupation. For example: A teacher says, “Ok students, now, we are

discussing Simple Present Tense. Simple Present Tense is used to express

general truth and to express a habitual action”, while a news anchor says,

“Welcome to the world news! Live from the grand studio”

Language variety is set of linguistic item that can be vary in the pattern, pronunciation or grammar. The variation the language happens because of some external factor. Based on user, language variety consists of five kinds there are standard language, dialect, idiolect, jargon and vernacular. Based on the use, language variety consists of two kinds there are style and register.

D. Language Style

Based on the use, language style divided into style and register.

Language style are variety language use for specific purpose. It‟s not

social or regional dialect.

Language style, according to Joos (in Alwasilah, 1993:45), is

classified into five types based on the degree of formality, that is, frozen,

formal, consultative, casual, and intimate styles

15

1. Frozen style

Frozen style (Oratorical style) is defined as the most formal style and elegant variety that reserved for very important or symbolic moments. It is usually used in the situation which is celebrated with respect and legitimate or formal ceremonies. An oratorical style is used in public speaking before a large audience; wording is carefully planned in advance, intonation is somewhat exaggerated, and numerous rhetorical devices are appropriate. Many of linguistics units fixed and there is no variation in it.

Certain fixed expressions are required, for example; “Yes Your Honor”,

“Yes my Lord”, “I object…”, and so on. Not only the sentences are carefully constructed individually, but also sequences of sentences are intricately related. Obviously, it must be very carefully planned and to do well by requiring high skill. That is why this style is called Frozen style or

Oratorical style. The people who attend on that occasion are often the person of high level or important figures. The occasion itself is not an ordinary occasion. It means that the occasion seems to give precedence and respect over the hearers and the speakers. Thus, almost exclusively specially-professional orators, lawyers, and preachers use this style. In spite of the fact, ordinary citizens who attend in the court, religious services may demand frozen language because it is not an ordinary occasion and it may be recognized for achievement in their employment.

Furthermore, a story or proverbial message used this style. Constitute that

16

languages are immutable, and signal a linguistic event in the culture that is outside ordinary language use. It must not be altered in anyway.

Frozen style usually tends to be monolog, but there are some expressions for this case. It also can be involved in conversation if each member of the interaction has certain of fix verbal role to be played. For example, in court, there are judges, witnesses, juries, and so on

We can conclude that Frozen or oratorical style is the most formal style. It is usually used in situation that is very formal and has symbolic value, such as in formal ceremonies and court, constitutions, and state documents. The characteristics of frozen style are the use of maintained and unchanged sentence structures, the use of long and careful sentence constructions, the use of exaggerated intonation, and also almost no responses between the speaker and hearer.

Example:

“Preamble We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America…” (The U.S. Code published by the Law Revision Counsel of the U.S. House of Representatives, 2004: 1).

In another example : Visitors should make their way at once to the Upper floor by way of the staircase.

2. Formal style

17

Formal or deliberative style is also used in addressing audiences.

Usually audiences too large to permit effectively interchange between speakers and hearers, though the forms are normally not as polished as those in an oratorical style such in a typical university classroom lecture is often carried out in a deliberative style. Formal style is defined as the style of language that be used for important or serious situation. At that level, there is no symbolic or lasting value in this situation. Formal style is usually a single topic oriented and it is related to the fact that formal writing is technical. Thus, most scholar or technical reports use this style.

Formal style may also be used in speaking to a single hearer. To do so, however, indicates that the speaker fells little mutually with the hearer.

The formal style labels are : yes, sir… okay, sir.. and a very few others.

We can conclude that formal or deliberative style is defined as the type of language style that is used in situations in which the speakers are very careful about pronunciation, choice of words, and sentence structure.

It is usually used in important or serious situations, such as in scholar and technical reports, classrooms, formal speeches, and sermons. Formal style has three characteristics, namely having a single topic, using a sentence structure that shows less intimacy between the speaker and hearer, and using standard forms.

Example:

Mr. : Do you want to be a good business man? Chris : Yes, sir, I want to be a good business man

18

Mr. : Have you already started learning on your own? Chris : Yes, sir In another example: Visitors should go up the stairs at once.

3. Consultative style

Consultative style is typically a dialogue, though formal enough that words are chosen with some care. Business transaction, doctor-patient conversation, and the like are usually consultative in nature. Consultative style used in the most orally conducted everyday business transactions, particularly between chance acquaintances. It is the usual form of speech in small groups except among close friends. The typical occurrence of consultative speech is between two persons. While one is speaking, at intervals the others give short responses, mostly drawn from a small inventory of standard signals. There are basic parts of the system, essential to its operation. Among them are: “Yes”, “No”, “Uhhuh”, “Mmm”,

“Huh”, “That‟s right”, “I think so”. A number of them are aberrant enough in phonology that they cannot be represented well in spelling.

Consultative is the style most open to give and take of everyday conversation discussed so far. That is why it is typically a dialogue, at the level where the words still have to be chosen with some care. We make routine request. For information where provide answers to such request in consultative, for example, seller-buyer conversation, doctor-patient conversation, and so on.

19

We conclude that Consultative style or business style is usually used in

a semi-formal situation. It is used in transaction, information exchange,

and operational process. Consultative style is used in such conversations as

seller-buyer conversation, doctor-patient conversation, teaching and

learning process, and small group discussion. The consultative labels are:

yes, no, uhhuu, huh.., that‟s right, I think so and a very few others.

Chris : What should I do to loss my weight? Doctor : uhmmm, You shouldn‟t eat junk foods Chris : huh? I think I can‟t do that doc. Man : You don‟t have to I you don‟t want to lose your weight.

Chris : Can you tell me what kind of stone is it? Mr.Twistle : Yes, this is the Arken stone, originally came from New Zealand. Chris: uhmmm, I like the color.

In another example : Would you mind going upstairs right away,

4. Casual style

Casual are conversation between friends or colleagues or sometimes members of a family; in this context words need to be guarded and social barriers are moderately low.

Casual style is also simply defined as a style that is used for the conversation in our relaxed or normal situation that appropriate to the conversation with our friends, the background information so freely inserted into casual conversation.

Positively, casual style is characterized by the use of the first name or even nickname rather than a little name and last name in addressing one another. The

20

pronunciation is rapid and often slurred, besides that the use of slang. This is a prime indication of in-group relationship. It is used only with insiders, and only members of the group assume it to known, for example, to teenagers or to some clique among adolescents. Another characteristic feature of casual speech is the omissions of unstressed words, particularly at the beginning of sentences. There most involved are articles, pronouns, auxiliaries, and be. “Anybody home?”,

“Car broke down”. “Got a match?”, “Need help?”. Such expressions are a highly diagnostic feature of the casual style; they will generally be interpreted as signaling informality. However, most speakers are not aware either of the phenomenon or of its significances. That is, they do not know what is about an utterance that gives them the impression of informality.

We can conclude that Casual style is defined as a style used in an informal and a relaxed situation. Casual style is used, for example, between friends or between family members. Casual style has four characteristics, namely the use of nickname when addressing one another, the use of rapid and slurred pronunciation, the use of slang, and the use of non-standard forms.

Linda : Got the idea Chris? Chris : Yea, I got it Linda : Okay, let‟s start this

Wayne : You catch the game last night? Chris : No, no.

In another example: Time you all went upstairs now.

21

5. Intimate style

An intimate style is one characterized by complete absence of social inhibitions. Talk with family, beloved ones, and very close friends, where you tend to reveal your inner self, it is usually in an intimate style.

Intimate style is also a completely private language developed within families, lovers, and the closest of friends. It might embarrass some for non-group members to hear them in-group intimate language. The word that generally signal intimacy such as, “dear”, “darling”, and even “honey” or “hon” might be used in this situation. On the other names, nicknames might regularly prove embarrassing to hearer as well as speakers outside of intimate situations. Furthermore, intimate language is also characterized by ellipsis, deletion, rapid, slurred, pronunciation, non-verbal communication, and private code characteristics. It is often unintelligible outside the smallest social units

We can conclude that Intimate style is the most casual style, and it is usually used between family members, couples or lovers, and intimate friends. The characteristics of this style are the use of private codes, the use of words signaling intimate relation, the use of rapid and slurred pronunciation, the use of non-verbal communication, and the use of non- standard forms.

Linda : Hey, baby. What happened? Chris : No, nothing. Look, I can't get Christopher today.

22

Christopher : Bye, Mom.

Linda : Bye, baby. Come back without that, please.

In another example: Up you go, Chaps!

Style is the kind of language variety in which the speaker selects certain linguistic forms rather than others that contain the same information. Based on the

Five Clocks theory of Martin Joss, style can be classified into five kinds.

Language style are classifying based on the formality levels. The highest rank of the language style in this theory is Frozen style. It means that Frozen style is the most formal style on this theory, beneath this style there are formal style, consultative style, casual style and intimate style.

usually takes a risky turn, which leads to desperate situations (including

explosions, fight scenes, daring escapes, etc.). Action and Adventure are

because they have much in common, and many stories fall under both

23

genres simultaneously. The examples of this film‟s genres are: The Raid,

Mission impossible, James bond 007, Die Hard.

characters. Examples: The Interview, The Great Dictator, Dumb and

Dumber, Ted

4. Crime (gangster) films

genre, with many subsets. Examples: Boyhood, Pride & Prejudice,

Rocky, The Prestige.

6. Epic (Historical) film

or 'period pictures' that often cover a large expanse of time set against a

vast, panoramic backdrop. Epics often share elements of the elaborate

adventure films genre. Epics take an historical or imagined event, mythic,

legendary, or heroic figure, and add an extravagant setting and lavish

costumes, accompanied by grandeur and spectacle, dramatic scope, high

production values, and a sweeping musical score. The examples: Troy,

Kingdom Heaven, Gladiator, Braveheart

27

choreography. Examples: Frozen, Wizard Of OZ, High School Musical,

Camp Rock

complete with heroes, aliens, distant planets, impossible quests,

improbable settings, fantastic places, great dark and shadowy villains,

futuristic technology, unknown and unknowable forces, and

by mad scientists or by nuclear havoc. Examples: The Matrix,

Interstellar, Star Trek, Back To The Future.

28

10. War (And Anti-War)

War (and anti-war) films acknowledge the horror and heartbreak of war,

letting the actual combat fighting (against nations or humankind) on land,

sea, or in the air provide the primary plot or background for the action of the

film. Examples: The Thin Red Line, Letters From Iwo Jima, Saving Private

Ryan, Fury

11. Westerns Films

Westerns are the major defining genre of the American film industry - a

eulogy to the early days of the expansive American frontier. They are one of

the oldest, most enduring genres with very recognizable plots, elements, and

characters (six-guns, horses, dusty towns and trails, cowboys, Indians, etc.).

G. Robert Angier

Robert Angier (born Caldlow) was a magician's assistant and later

stage magician who lived in London. Born into a rich family, he wished to

become a magician but that career would've been a shame to his family.

He pretended to be an American by the name of Robert Angier in order to

preserve his family's reputation, and began working for the magician

Milton.

Angier became close to Milton's assistant Julia McCullough an

eventually married her. During the performance of a water cell trick, Julia

was unable to free herself from her bonds and ended up drowning on

stage. Milton's career was over and Angier blamed Alfred Borden, another

assistant, for tying the wrong knot during the trick. Angier formed his own

stage act with Milton's ingénieur John Cutter.

In revenge for his wife's death, Angier went to one of Borden's

performances and shot him during a bullet catch trick. In return, Borden

visited Angier's performance and ruined a disappearing bird trick, killing

the bird on stage and forcing Angier to cancel his show.

Cutter hired Olivia Wenscombe as Angier's female assistant, and

soon afterwards Borden released a new show: "The Transported Man".

Believing he could perform the trick better, Angier created his own

version using a double, but he always ended the act below stage, and

Borden revealed the secret to his audience. Angier then sent Olivia to work

for Borden in an effort to discover the secret of how it was done. She

34

couldn't find the answer, and began falling in love with Borden, but gave

Angier his encrypted diary.

Angier failed to break the encryption, so captured Borden's ingénieur Bernard Fallon and traded his life for the key. The key turned out to be the word "Tesla", so Angier travelled to Colorado Springs to visit the physicist . After meeting his servant Mr Alley, he asked

Tesla to design him a machine that could transport him. Tesla demonstrated his skills with electricity, but the machine he made did not work as Angier wanted. However, Angier noticed that it created duplicates of whatever was put into it, so took the machine back to London.

He then performed "The Real Transported Man", using the machine to duplicate himself into another location, while dropping the original version of himself into a water chamber and killing it. He saw

Borden in the audience of one of his shows, who sneaked backstage and saw the killing of the old Angier. Angier decided not to reveal himself, instead dressing as Lord Caldlow and letting Borden be put on trial for his murder.

As Lord Caldlow, Angier then tried to take custody of Borden's daughter Jess. Borden was executed, however he appeared at a warehouse where Angier stored the corpses from his act. Borden shot Angier, revealing that he had a twin who was executed and they disguised themselves as Fallon. Angier died, and Borden burnt the warehouse and all

35

the evidence of Angier's acts. (http://chrisnolan.wikia.com/wiki/Robert

Angier)

The writer are choose Robert Angier as a research object because

Robert Angier is one of the main character of the film. There are three

main character of this film. Angier, Borden, Fallon. Borden and Fallon are

twins, but the moviegoer would not know that they are twins until the film

is about to end. So the researcher cannot recognize the character in most

scenes on the movie, is it Borden or Fallon. The researcher decide to

choose Robert Angier as the object. He is include as the main character of

The Prestige movie. He is the rival of Borden and Fallon. Angier is so

ambitious man. He do everything to compete Borden and Fallon magic

show. Angier is a hard worker, he do so many sacrifice to be the best

Magician on that time.

Above there are so many theories from experts at sociolinguistic.

Here, the researcher chooses language style as a main discussion of

research. The researcher analyses kind of language style of Robert Angier

utterances in “The Prestige” movie by Christopher Nolan.

H. Teaching Speaking

According to brown (2006:8) teaching is guiding and facilitating

learning, enabling the learner to learn, Setting the condition for learning.

Bailey (2003:48) said that speaking is the productive aural/oral skill. It

consists of producing systematic verbal utterances to convey meaning.

36

According that explanation we can said that teaching speaking is guiding and facilitating, enabling the learner to learn, setting the condition for learning, enabling the learner to learn, setting the condition for learning how to produce systematic verbal utterances to convey meaning.

Language Style can be applied in classroom in the interaction between teacher and student or in the English lesson. The use of appropriate Language style can show how to communicate in appropriate way. If it happens , we can differ how we talk to the teacher and how we talk to the students. Language style learning can also be applied in teaching speaking in class. More specific is teaching speaking dealing with how speak in formal and informal way. Teacher teach the student to speak in formal or informal way through learning language style. Those expression taught in X grade semester 2

Teacher can use movie as a media to show the examples of formal and informal sentences. According to Manser (2000:481) visual aids is picture, video, so on used in teaching to help people understand something.

It means that a media like movie can be use as learning media. People can learn about the term in English through watching English movie. The benefit of applying the use of Language style learning through movie in teaching speaking are student will not get bored because the learning media is movie. Student usually not bored when they‟re watching movie.

Another benefit is student and teacher can be good communicators because they can express what they want to say in appropriate and good language.

37

The weakness of applying language style learning through movie in teaching speaking is the student must have a good listening skill. If they‟re not, it can be a problem to understand the expressions been said by the character. Is it impossible to learn the expression if they don‟t know it clearly.

CHAPTER III

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

In this chapter, the researcher presents research methodology. It contains research design, object of research instrument, source of data, technique of collecting data, technique of analyzing data and technique of coding data.

A. Research design

In conducting this study, the researcher used descriptive qualitative

research method. According Creswell (2012:4), qualitative research is

explore and understand the meaning individuals or groups ascribe to a

social or human problem. The goal of qualitative research is a holistic

picture and a depth of understanding rather than a numeric analysis of

data. Meanwhile Sudjana ( 2009:195) said that qualitative research is

research that is used to produce a grounded theory which appears from

data not hypothesis just like in quantitative research.

This study include in qualitative research because the data were

taken from words, phrases, clauses, and sentence. Moreover, the

sentences were analyzed descriptively to describe and to explain in

detail the phenomena of sentences based on politeness strategies

theory. Creswell (2012:16) said that qualitative research has some

characteristics as follow:

38

39

1. Qualitative research is exploring a problem and developing a

detailed understanding of a central phenomenon.

2. Qualitative research is having the literature review play a minor

role but justify a problem.

3. Qualitative research is stating the purpose and research

questions in general and broad way so as to the participants

experiences.

4. Qualitative research is collecting data based on words from a

small number of individuals so as the participants views are

obtained.

5. Analyzing the data for descriptions and themes using text

analysis and interpreting the larger meaning of findings.

6. Writing the report using flexible, emerging structures and

evaluative criteria, and including the researchers subjective

reflexivity and bias.

Based on the explanations above, the researcher used

descriptive qualitative research. In conducting this research

he used descriptive qualitative research because the

researcher would like to describe about the type of

Language style found in Angier‟s utterance in the script of

The Prestige Movie.

40

B. Object of The Research

Object means something that researcher tries to examine. The

object of this research is Angier‟s utterances in the script of The

Prestige Movie

C. Research Instrument

Sugiyono (2011:102) states that research instrument is a tool that is

used to measure nature phenomenon or social which is observed. In

qualitative research, the instrument of the research is the researcher

herself, therefore as a human instrument; the researcher has to be able

in determining the research focus, choosing data source and also

collecting the data. Also, the researcher must classify the data, giving

the evidence of the data and analyze them. In finishing the research,

the researcher has to make the conclusion of data analysis.

D. Source of Data

According to Hornby (2011:109) data is information of fact. In

research, the data is very essential in finding and solving the problem.

It is very necessary for researcher because the data is the basic element

needed in research. In this research, the researcher takes the data from

the script of The Prestige Movie.

41

E. Unit of analysis

This research is conducted to analyze Angier‟s utterances in the script

of The Prestige movie that contain the five language style.

F. Technique of Collecting data

Sugiyono (2015:308) stated that techniques of collecting data is the

main part in research., because the main objective from research is

getting the data. Without knowing the technique of collecting data, the

researcher will not get the data. Furthermore, Arikunto (2010:256)

states that data collecting is to inspect variable which research used

interview method, test, observation, questioner, documentation etc.

In this research, the researcher used documentation method to

collect the data. He did the following steps:

1. Watching and closely observing The Prestige movie.

2. Read the movie script

3. Mark the dialogue that contain Angier‟s utterance

4. Classified Angier‟s utterance based on the type of language style

G. Technique of Analyzing Data

Sugiyono (2014:335) that data analysis is critical to the qualitative

research process. Analysis of any kind involves a way of thinking. It

refers to the systematic examination of something to determine its part,

42

the relation among parts, and the relationship to the whole. Analysis is

a research for patterns.

In this research, the technique of analyzing data covers following

steps:

1. Classifying the data finding which contain language style into five

types of language style.

2. Making the interpretation and analysis of each datum based on five

types of language style theory stated by Martin Joss.

3. Drawing conclusion and suggestion.

H. Technique of Coding data

In order to make easier the classification and analysis of data in

the research, each data is marked by a code. The coding of data in

this research can be seen through the following ways:

1. The number of each data.

2. The type of Language style which are Frozen for frozen style,

Formal for formal style, Consultative for consultative style,

Casual for casual style, and Intimate for intimate style.

3. The Timing in which the utterance was uttered.

To make clear coding, an example will be presented: 01/Frozen/00.05.30.

It means that the data is number one. The type of Language style is

Frozen. It is occurred at 00.05.30.

CHAPTER IV

Frozen style is used in public speaking before a large

audience; wording is carefully planned in advance, intonation is

somewhat exaggerated, and numerous rhetorical devices are

appropriate. Many of linguistics units fixed and there is no

45

variation in it. Not only the sentences are carefully constructed

individually, but also sequences of sentences are intricately related.

Obviously, it must be very carefully planned and to do well by

requiring high skill. That is why this style is called Frozen style or

Oratorical style. The people who attend on that occasion are often

the person of high level or important figures. The occasion itself is

not an ordinary occasion. It means that the occasion seems to give

precedence and respect over the hearers and the speakers.

The researcher gives 1 utterance said by Angier that contains frozen style. The details as follow:

Table 2. Frozen Language Style

No Data Utterance 1 863-876 Ladies and gentlemen, much of what you've seen may be termed as illusions or entertaining trifles Alas …. Merely a technique familiar to certain citizens of the Orient and various holy men of the Himalayas

1.2. Formal Style

Formal or deliberative style is defined as the type of language

style that is used in situations in which the speakers are very careful

technical reports, classrooms, formal speeches, and sermons. Formal

style has three characteristics, namely having a single topic, using a

sentence structure that shows less intimacy between the speaker and

hearer, and using standard forms.

From 30 data which are taken by the researcher, 15 (50%) data belongs to Casual style, 7 (23,33%) data belongs to Consultative style, 6 (20%) data belongs to Formal style, 1 (3,33%) data belongs to Frozen style, 1 (3, 33%) data belongs to Intimate style.

The data shows that Casual Style is the most dominant language style used by Robert Angier in “The Prestige” movie. It happens because of the characteristic of Robert Angier in movie. Angier always have intense conversation with people he known. He likes to tell about his ambition. He also acts to be friendly to everyone, so he mainly uses causal style in his conversation. He needs to have many friends to reach his ambition.

C. The Application of language style used by Robert Angier on “The

Prestige” movie by Christopher Nolan in Teaching Speaking

Brown (2000:7) explains teaching is guiding and facilitating learning, enabling the learner to learn setting the condition for learning.

Teaching means showing or helping someone to learn how to do something. Providing with knowledge, causing to know or understand, while Bailey (2003:48) stated that speaking is the productive aural/oral skill. It consists of producing systematic verbal utterances to convey

75

meaning. So the researcher concludes that teaching speaking is the process of guiding and facilitating and moreover helping the learners to get productivity in oral skill.

Language style can be applied in especially in English material. Language style can be applied in teaching speaking class. More specific dealing with formal, consultative and casual way to express sympathy and affection.

To make it more interesting, teacher can use the Prestige movie to show the examples of those expressions. Those expression are taught in X grade semester 2.

The strengths of applying Language style language style used by

Robert Angier on “The Prestige” movie in teaching speaking, the student will not be bored in the learning process because the media of learning the expressions are movie. Basically, everybody loves watching movie.

Mixing with the brief explanation from the teacher, it may create a good result of students learning process. Second, by applying language style used by Robert Angier on “The Prestige” movie by Christopher Nolan in teaching speaking dealing with expression, either students or teachers can be good communicators because they can express what they want to say in appropriate and good language. The weakness of applying language style used by Robert Angier on “The Prestige” movie in teaching speaking lies in the listening skill of the student while watching movie as the media whether students can clearly know what have been said by the character or not.
