church choir. She knows that one of Jane’s hobbies is singing. She loves singing since she was a child.
Here, kinship term is used to show intimacy between a daughter and her mother. The intimacy between them can be seen from the way Jane gives an
agreement when her mother gives a suggestion to join the church choir. The use of kinship term “mum” here is also a result of a family relation that exists between Jane
and her mother. Kinship term in the conversation is already used in an appropriate way. It is in line with the concept of address terms which states that a family relation
factor can be indicated through the use of kinship term.
2. Social Factors Affecting the Choice of Address Terms Uttered by the
Characters in
The Theory of Everything Movie in Using Certain Types of Address Terms
There are many social factors that influence the speaker to choose certain
types of address terms toward the addressee. However, in this research, the researcher classified them into nine social factors. They are particular occasion PO, social
status or rank of the other SS, gender G, age A, family relationship FR, occupational hierarchy OH, transactional status TS, race R, and degree of
intimacy DI.
a. Particular occasion PO
People tend to address a certain person differently in different place where they communicate. For example, a girl studies in a school where her father becomes
the school principal there. A girl should not address her school principal as her father,
but she should address him as her school principal. A girl should address her father by using title with last name TLN or title only T inside the school. In school, they
are involved in an institutional setting that requires formality and respect to the other. Meanwhile, in a family, they are there as a daughter and a father who can address
each other by using kinship term KT. The example of the use of address terms that influenced by particular occasion PO is as follows:
The example above takes place in the seminar room of Cambridge University. Dennis Sciama, as a speaker in tutorial, gives an exercise to his several young physicists.
Meanwhile, Stephen reads a chess book that lies on his lap out of his sight under the table. Dennis Sciama, with a wicked smirk on his face, passes out a set of
mathematical problems to Stephen. Then, Stephen looks up and crumples the paper in his pocket.
4: 13 Dennis Sciama : Well, then, here we are. A little challenge for you all, as you
embark on your separate doctoral journeys – whatever they may be, Mr. Hawking. Stephen looks up, winces, knowing
he’s way behind schedule Something to separate the men from the boys—the wheat
from the chaff—the mesons from the pi mesons—the quarks from the quacks.
