One word questions have 15 questions which are used to find out whether the listener knows the answer or not.
SC 25 Shere Khan: I almost... almost think it was some kind of man cub.
Akela: Mowgli belongs to my pack, Shere Khan. Shere Khan : Mowgli? Theyve given it a name. When was it we came to
adopt man into the jungle?
The question in sample conversation 25 only uses one word. The speaker
exposes the most important part. Quirk et al called this type as echo questions Quirk et al, 1972, p. 408. Echo question is a question which repeats a part or all
of the information to confirm the content. This question uses rising intonation and the functions are to make sure and to ask repetition. From the conversation, Akela
calls the man cub as Mowgli and Shere Khan wants to make sure that the man cub‟s name is Mowgli. It is why he repeats Akela‟s word. Besides, he also does
not trust that the wolves give a name for the man cub yet.

Kaa: Yesss. Would you like to see? Mowgli: Yeah.

speaker only uses “You do?” as the question. In this conversation, the speaker wants to get yes or no answer and make sure that the information is right or
wrong.

SC 27 Akela: We no longer harbor him. He has left the pack.
Shere Khan: And where, may I ask, has he gone? Akela: He is with his own kind now.
Shere Khan: So the man cub has left the jungle.
Sample conversation 27 shows the example of the other questions that consist of more than two words. The question begins with a conjunction, after that
there is a question word, and then there are two yesno questions. It shows that
the speaker has a curiosity about the information. It also shows that the speaker wants to make sure that the information is correct or not. Based on the
conversation, the conjunction and the questio n word „„And where‟‟ mean Shere
Khan wants Akela to continue his information. It is because Shere Khan interested with the information. In order to make sure the information, Shere Khan also adds
two yesno questions in his question. The first yesno question shows that Shere
Khan asks permission to give a question. The second yesno question shows how
Shere Khan makes sure that the information from Akela is correct or not.

31 Mowgli: These are vines I use on the cliff. I twirl them together to make
them longer and stronger. See how strong they are? You wanna see the really cool part? Its inside. Come on, lets go Come on
The question in sample conversation 30 is a yesno question. It is a shortened yesno question
. Sometimes in spoken English, the auxiliary and the
subject you are dropped from yesno question Azar and Hagen, 1981, p. 445. Actually, the complete sentence of that question is Do you see how strong they
are?, but the speaker drops do and you. That is why the question to be See how strong they are?. As the name, this question asks yes or no answer. The function is
asking a yes or no answer.
SC 29 Mowgli: Do you have a language? Youre kind a cute, I guess. You wanna
bite? Come on. Come here. Come on. Its all right.
Question in sample conversation 29 is taken when Mowgli offers his fruit to a cute animal in the jungle. That question includes in declarative questions, but
the helping verb is different. This question uses wanna as the helping verb. Wanna
is the informal form of want to or want a. It shows that the speaker asks a
question with informally. SC 30
Bageera: Where is he? Baloo: In the pit.
Bageera: In the what? Is this your teaching?
This conversation is taken when Bageera finds Mowgli a pack of elephants. When Bageera asks where Mowgli is and he does not sure with Baloo‟s
answer. Bageera asks, “In the what?” It includes in atypical questions because
the question expressed by a phrase rather than a clause, and it is impossible to PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

. Based on the discussion, there are three findings to answer the research
problem. First, the questions divided into six types. There are wh-questions, yesno questions, tag questions, declarative questions, alternative questions
and atypical questions . The types of questions which are most typically found in

35 questions 19.56, declarative question with 24 questions 13.41, alternative questions with 4 questions 2.23, and the least type is tag questions
with 3 questions 1.67. Second, there are atypical questions in the subtitle of The Jungle Book
film. Atypical questions have 35 questions 19.56. This type is divided into one word questions 15, two words questions 4, and
