CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION

This chapter discusses background of study, statement of problem, purpose of study, significance of study, scope and limitation, and definition of key term.

1.1 Background of Study

Literature is very interesting and useful thing to study. Literature means written works for example poetry, drama, and novel are recognized as having important or permanent value. In other hand, by creating a literature everyone can express their feeling, thought, and emotion. It can be a written form for example poem, short story and novel or it can be also by song or creating film or drama. Literature can not separate with human life like language and culture. According to Valery and Todorov (in Koesnosoebroto, 1988:1):

Literature is a kind of extension and application of certain properties

of language.” He sees the relationship between literature and

language on the basis of the very fact that the literary work is a verbal work of art, and this has long provoked investigators to speak of

language‟s leading role in literature: an entire discipline, stylistics, has been created on the borderline between literary studies and linguistics.

Literary work is one of the ways to teach us the value in life. By learning the literary work, we can get the description of the social life of a certain time and we are able to get information or knowledge of many kind of human characters. It says that literature has aesthetic quality, for it produces beauty.

(14)

This gives a unique pleasure. When we watch literary work, we will get knowledge about problem of society, problem connected with love, hate, happiness and problem in language culture which is happen in the society.

One of literary work is film. Film is predetermined by literary techniques; conversely, literary practice developed particular features under the impact of film (Klaler, 2004: 53). People in every part of the world watch film that tell stories as a type of entertainment; a way to have fun. Most of films are made so that they can be shown on big screens at cinemas or film theatres. By watching a film people can get some information and get the moral value from the film which is important and can be applied for our life.

Meanwhile in some film there is show or tell about culture. Here, a film

the title “Eat Pray Love” shows us about differences of culture in every

country. As we know that culture is a part of our life. Human life can not be separated from culture. Culture can be the way of life of the people. It can be a language, values, attitudes, tradition, and life style.

As we know that every country has its own culture. It may be different from one to others. This condition sometimes makes misunderstanding and misinterpretation among people who have different culture especially on language. When people enter a new country, automatically they will face a new culture too. Although they come to that country just to spend their holiday, but they definitely face the new culture in that country. It is not easy for the people

(15)

to acculturate the new culture that they do not experience before. It is very important for them to learn and understand about the cultural awareness before they come to the country exactly in language. The cultural awareness is not only in the intercultural communication, but also in the social adjustment.

When someone enters a new country and new culture, he/she has to understand the intercultural communication. According to Levine and Adelman (in Wati, 2007), the intercultural communication is the process whereby one‟s culture affects interaction with a person from another culture. That is way, language has an important role since language is the mean of expression and communication also involves differing perceptions, attitudes, and interpretations.

The social adjustment that normally happens when someone enters a new culture is called as culture shock. Culture shock occurs as a result of total immersion in a new culture. Stranger may be anxious because they do not know or understand the culture and people behavior in daily life. So, it is very significance for them to understand well about the new culture in that country.

Understanding the language is very important to the strangers when they come to the country with different culture from their culture. When someone did not understand the language there, they can not communicate and have an interaction with other people there. So that way, before someone go to abroad, it could be better if they learn and understand first about the culture in that country to make us comfort living there.

(16)

The language barrier above was faced by Liz Gilbert in Jennifer Salt‟s

film “Eat Pray Love”. She is an American traveler comes to Italy which has different language in they daily life in America. For Liz Gilbert that is the first time she goes to Italia. So she did not understand at all the language there. She got many problems and difficulties in understanding the language in Italy.
