The next step was crosschecking the written report and the movie. The researcher crosschecked the data three times. Therefore, there will be no
differences in the data collection and the movie. The next step was categorizing
character‟s utterances into two kinds of speech styles. There were two speech styles proposed by Wood 1993b, namely
men‟s and women‟s speech styles. The researcher categorized the data by using Table 1 and 2. The tables were made based on Wood classification of men and

CHAPTER IV RESEARCH RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
This chapter presents the discussion of the research that had been done by the researcher. It covers the research questions that had been mentioned in chapter
one. The explanations in this chapter are divided into two sections categorized according to the two research questions.
A. Women’s and Men’s Speech Features Used by Angelina Jolie
Jane Smith‟s utterances were identified and analyzed based on Wood‟s 1993b theory
about women‟s and men‟s speech styles. Jane‟s utterances in the movie were additionally corresponded with some expressions of men‟s and
women‟s speech. The research findings would explain the women‟s speech first. After that, the researcher would explain
about men‟s speech which is arranged based on the frequency of occurrence.
In this chapter, the researcher would discuss each chosen utterance that is considered as the men‟s and the women‟s speech styles. There are forty-six
dialogues that are chosen to discuss the men‟s and women‟s speech styles. The
researcher prefers to discuss and to analyze the utterances by using Jane Smith Angelina Jolie‟s name in the movie to avoid misunderstanding.
a. Women’s Speech Characteristics Used by Angelina Jolie
There were only four features of women‟s speech that were found and
used by Angelina out of six features. The features were attention to the
39
relationship level, conversational maintenance work, tentativeness, and responsiveness.
1. Attention to the Relationship Level
Attention to the relationship level that was shown in Angelina Jolie‟s
utterances was the relationship between lover or husband and wife. All of the dialogues here were taken from Jane and her husband
‟s conversation.
Dialogue 1
Jane : Nice. So what did you decide?
John : I want a divorce.
--- Jane
: So what do you want, John?
John : We have an unusual problem, Jane. You obviously want me dead. And
Im less and less concerned of your wellbeing. So what do we do? Do we shoot it out here? Hope for the best?
The dialogue happened in the ballroom hotel where John proposed to Jane. Jane was depressed because she thought John died in the explosion that happened
inside the elevator. While she was sitting in one of the tables in the ballroom, someone came, held her hand and poured some wine in the glass in her hand. It
was John and he was still alive. They had conversation at the table before they moved to the dance floor. Jane‟s utterances “So what did you decide?” and “So
what do you want, Jo hn?” were considered as attention to the relationship level
because she was talking as a wife and she also asked John about their relationship.
Dialogue 2
Jane : Why is it you think we failed? Cos we were leading separate lives?
Or was it all the lying that did us in?
John : I have a theory. Newly formed.
