It can be conclude that in analyze script besides find figurative language in script, we can also understand the meaning of the dialogue and conversation that contain figurative language. 1 Keywords: sociolinguistics, figurative language, Johnny English Reborn film. A. Introduction According to Kridalaksana in Chaer (2010: 3), sociolinguistics is used to be defined as a knowledge that studies about kind of language and the variety of the language, and the relation between linguistics and kind of function of languages in a language society. “Language varies according to its uses as well as its users, according to where it is used and to whom, as well as according who is using it. The addressees and the context affect our choice of code or variety, whether language, dialect or style” (Holmes, 2001: 223). There are many types of figurative language such as: metaphor, simile, symbols, personification, apostrophe, synecdoche, metonymy, paradox, hyperbola, understatement, irony, alliteration, oxymoron, allusion, onomatopoeia, antanaklasis, repetition,parallelism, tautology, litotes. To know the implementation about figurative language the writer chooses Johnny English Reborn film. Johnny English Reborn is a 2011 British spy comedy film parodying the James Bond secret agent genre and film franchise reboots. The film is the sequel to Johnny English (2003), and stars Rowan Atkinson reprising his role as the title character and directed by Oliver Parker. The film has a slightly darker tone than the previous film but 2 retains Atkinson's signature humor. This film won some awards and nomination; Evening Standard British Film Awards 2012 and Phoenix Film Critics Society Awards 2011 then nominated as Blockbuster of the Year and Best Original Song for “I Believe in You”. Based on the explanation above, the writers feel interested in analysing Johnny English Reborn film through figurative language. B. Literature Review Keraf (2010:129) explained that figure of speech divided into two groups. Those are analogy and rhetorical style. Analogy style is an anomaly is farther in meaning aspect particularly, while rhetorical style is an anomaly from usual construction to reach specific effect. Figurative language or style is a way of showing mind through a special language that shows the soul and the characteristic of the writer (language user). We can say, “Language style or figurative language is the way of giving expression through a special language which shows the soul and the writer is personality (language user)”. A good language style has to certain three elements, which are: sincerity, respect, and attraction (Keraf, 2010: 113). According to Keraf (2010: 113), there are many types of figurative language such as: metaphor, simile, symbol, personification, aposthrophe, synecdoche, metonymy, paradox, hyperbola, understatement, irony, alliteration, oxymoron, allusion, onomatopoeia, antanaclasis,repetition, parallelism, tautology, litotes, para rhyme. 3 a. Metaphor A metaphor compares two unlike things. "My baby sister's a doll," you might say, compares your sister's size and sweetness to that of the perfection of a doll. At another time you might say, "My brother is a rat." This compares your brother to the nastiest little creature you can think of. In both cases you would be making a metaphor- a form of comparison that directly compares two unlike things. A metaphor wastes no time in getting to the point. b. Simile If you said, "My sister is like a doll," or maybe, "My brother's good as gold," you would be making a simile - a form of comparison in which one thing is compared to another unlike thing by using specific words of comparison like like, as, and resembles. Poets try to find unusual metaphors and similes. c. Symbol A thing (could be an object, person, situation, or action) which is stand for something else more abstract, for examples, A chain can symbolize the coming together of two things, Black is used to represent death or evil, Time is money: This is symbolic because it warns you that when you spend your time, you are giving up the opportunity to be doing something else with that time (just as when you spend your money, you give up your chance to do something else with the money). Further, like money, time is not infinite. 4 d. Personification Speaking of something that is not human as if it had human abilities and human reactions, for examples, “The stars danced playfully in the moonlit sky”. e. Apostrophe A figure of speech which is someone absent or dead or something nonhuman is addressed as if it were alive and present. Example: Juliet can also be heard addressing to a dagger, “O, happy dagger! This is thy sheath. Thus let me rust and die.” Note that she uses “O” before the inanimate object, a conventional way of starting an apostrophe to denote that the character or speaker is talking to someone or something that is not really present or real. f. Synecdoche A figure of speech which is mentions a part of something to suggest the whole, for example, “The White House” can refer to statements made by individuals within the United States government. g. Metonymy The use of something closely related for the thing actually meant. “The pen is mightier than the sword.” Pen refers to written words, and sword to a weapon but in this condition pen more powerful because If a sword can only stab one person, in contrast to a word written from a pen can kill or stab a hundred or even thousands more people with more cruelty through knowledge and thought. h. Paradox 5 A statement or situation containing apparently contradictory incompatible elements, but not closer inspection may be true, for example, Hamlet by William Shakespeare “I must be cruel to be kind.” This announcement does not seem to make sense. How can an individual treat others kindly even when he is cruel? However, Hamlet is talking about his mother, and how he intends to kill Claudius to avenge his father’s death. i. Hyperbole A great exaggeration used to emphasize a point, and is used for expressive or comic effect. A hyperbole is not to be taken literally, for example, His classmates laughed at him, saying he had a pea-sized brain. j. Understatement An understatement is a figurative language employed by writers or speakers to intentionally make a situation seem less important than it really is, for example, “He is not too thin” Describing an obese person, “It was O.K.” Said by the student who got the highest score on the test. k. Irony Verbal irony is a figure of speech when an expression used in the opposite of the thought in the speaker’s mind, thus conveying a meaning that contradicts the literal definition. Dramatic irony is a literary or theatrical device of having a character utter word which the reader or audience understands to have a different meaning. Irony of situation is when a situation occurs which is quite the reverse of 6 what one might have expected. Example: “The name of Britain’s biggest dog was Tiny.” l. Alliteration Alliteration is the repetition of a single letter in the alphabet (as in "Peter Piper picked a peck of pickle peppers.") or a combination of letters (as in "She sells seashells by the seashore."). It's just about the easiest form of repetition a poet can use. m. Oxymoron A figure of speech in which incongruous or contradictory term appear side by side, for example, “All the politicians agreed to disagree.” n. Allusion A reference in a literary work to a person, place, thing in history, or another work of literature, for example, This ceremony reminds me of the proclamation of independence in 1945. o. Onomatopoeia In its simplest form, onomatopoeia is produced by a single word that sounds like the thing it refers to: "Six burgers were sizzling on the grill." "A snake slithered through the grass." p. Antanaclasis Figure of speech containing repeats the same word with different meanings, for example, Jay Z said “I’m not a businessman, I’m a business, man!” q. Repetition Looping figure of speech the word - the word for emphasis, for example, “If you think you can do it, you can do it.” 7 r. Parallelism Looping figure of speech as well as repetition, arranged in different rows, for example, Like father, like son. s. Tautology Figure of speech that describes something using the word - the word the same meaning (synonyms) to reinforce the meaning, for example, In Hamlet by William ShakespearPolonious: “What do you read, my lord?” Hamlet: “Words, words, words.” t. Litotes Figure of speech which is used to shrink the reality for the purpose of humbling. Example: Come into my shack (Though large and luxurious house), for example, In a lyrics of Pink Floyd – Another Brick In The Wall “We don’t need no education.” u. Para Rhyme Repetition of initial and final consonant in the word or parts of different words, for example, “Night/Knight”, “Laughed/Loft”, Black/Block.

  • 1 CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background Movie Has Become A
    1 CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background Movie has become a large product of popular literary that entertains from time to time. The production of movie itself is extremely big, and many people enjoy watching a movie. As Rochani Adi (2011:70) says that the movie also one forms of popular cultural product that is produced on a massive scale. In movie also contains so much thing, some movie just make people laugh, some other movie make people think and some other may make people cry. In many comedy movie, the content that make us laugh appears from irony that shown up by the characters in the movie itself. Most people are getting more attracted to the movie as the modern media of literary works. But however, movie has same power as well as the other media of literature, such as Jinks (1974) in Rochani Adi (2011:53) said: “No one would argue that film and literature are the same medium or even the same kind of experience. The primary thrust of literature is linguistic, hence indirect, while the impetus of film is imagistic and immediate. And yet, despite the obvious differences separating these two narrative forms, there are some rather startling resemblances between them” Movie is one of the best alternatives for someone to feel consoled. Particularly comedy movies, and now the genre of comedy movie combines with other genres, such as romantic-comedy, action-comedy, and many more. However, the combining genre, 2 particularly humor genre and other genres could take humor genre as the main genre of the movie, or occasionally it is only just the addition genre of the movie.

  • Mark Ivanir | Biography
    MARK IVANIR | BIOGRAPHY Mark Ivanir has been working as a professional film and television actor in Los Angeles since 2001. His first major film role was in Steven Spielberg's 1993 Oscar winning epic SCHINDLER'S LIST. He rejoined with Spielberg twice, first for a cameo appearance in TERMINAL, then again for THE ADVENTURES OF TINTIN. A pivotal role in Robert De Niro's 2006 film, THE GOOD SHEPHERD, landed Mark a role in Barry Levinson's WHAT JUST HAPPENED, this time acting alongside De Niro. Many films followed. Mark has booked over 35 Guest Star and Guest Lead roles on television. Ivanir's road to Hollywood was circuitous at best. Born in the communist Ukraine, he immigrated to Israel with his family in 1972. After being cast by Spielberg in SCHINDLER'S LIST, Ivanir moved to London to study with Philippe Gaulier and the actors of the Theater De Complicite. During this stint, he landed roles in THE MAN WHO CRIED (with Johnny Depp) and SECRET AFFAIR which encouraged him to relocate to Hollywood. Ever since, Mark has been working on films in the US, in Europe and in Israel. In Germany he has been working with Dennis Gansel on THE FOURTH STATE and with Dominik Graf on the highly acclaimed mini-series IN THE FACE OF THE CRIME. In Europe, Mark was also working with Fernando Meirelles on his episodic feature film 360. Most recently, Mark co-starred alongside Catherine Keener, Philipp Seymour Hoffman and Christopher Walken in A LATE QUARTET. Mark currently lives in Los Angeles with his wife and two daughters.
