about men‟s and women‟s features rather than Lakoff‟s theory about women language because Wood studies
women‟s and men‟s speech more to the purpose not only the features in speech style
. Wood also provides both men‟s and women‟s speech features, which is different with Lakoff that only provides the
features of women language. For the second research question,
“What factors affect Angelina Jolie‟s speech style in Mr. and Mrs. Smith
Movie?”, the researcher Spolsky‟s and Schmidt
‟s theories to analyze the factors that affect Angelina‟s speech style in the movie.
Spolsky‟s and Schmidt‟s theories were chosen because their theories explain the social aspects that affect the way someone speak rather than gender
aspects.
