CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION
Chapter I presents background of the study, research problems, the objectives of the study, and benefits of the study. This chapter also states the
methodology and theories that are used in this study.
A. Background of The Study
People use question to know about a new thing. When they find a new thing, they will ask more information by questions. The examples are a child asks
their parents about cheese because they never eat it and a man asks his partner about his new job. People also ask a question when they face a problem. The
example is students ask questions to their teacher when they do not understand about the lesson. The examples show that people ask many questions in their life
Browne Keeley, 2012, p. 2. Questions are used to ask the listener to provide the information in spoken
form Quirk, Greenbaum, Leech, and Svartvik, 1972, p. 386. The answer of a question could be a sentence with detailed
information or a phrase like “Yes, it is” or “No, it is not”. They are the examples of the answer of yesno and tag
questions. In order to ask a question, people could use question words. The
question words are whowhomwhose, what, which, when, where, how, and why
Quirk et al, 1972, p. 394. They could be found on the beginning of the question.
2 Based on the writer experience as a student, asking questions is too
difficult. The writer needs to think about the content, the question words, operator or modals, and subject. It could be an embarrassing situation when a student asks
a question with the wrong structure or the wrong vocabulary in the English class. That is why the writer chooses to keep silent than ask a question. It is the reason
why the writer chose questions as the topic of this paper. The purpose of this study is to describe the types of questions which are
typically found and the atypical questions which are found in The Jungle Book film. There are two research problems in this study, namely 1 what types of
questions are typically found in The Jungle Book film subtitle, and 2 whether there are any atypical questions found in The Jungle Book film subtitle or not.
The writer chose The Jungle Book film as the data source in this study because it contains many questions with different types. This film tells about the
importance of courage, teamwork, family, and friendship. This film inspires people to learn about peace. It tells that human and animal could live together.
They could help each other to create a peaceful life. The Jungle Book is a mix of live-action and photo-realistic computer-generated effects Baehr, 2016,
https:www.movieguide.orgreviewsthe-jungle-book-2016.html. This film is allowed for all ages. The Jungle Book shows the new vocabularies for the viewers.
It also tells that every creature has their own language to communicate to each other.
The criteria of data collection are based on phonology and orthography. The phonology criterion focuses on falling and rising intonation. When people
3 hear a sentence, they could differentiate it as a statement or a question based on
the intonation. Question is spoken with rising intonation Curme, 1966, p. 97. The other criterion is orthography criterion. The main characteristic of question is
the sentences should use a question mark ? at the end Quirk et al, 1972, p. 7.
There are four benefits that could be taken out from this study. First, the English Language Education Study Program lecturers could be used The Jungle
Book film as a material for Structure and Vocabulary courses. The students could learn what the questions which are typically found and atypical questions which
are found in the daily activity. They also could learn new vocabulary. The second is the English teacher could teach how to ask a question with many types of
questions. The third, this study is valuable for everyone who reads it and wants to analyze the same topic. The last is the writer could improve the knowledge about
questions.
