environmental. Understanding the causes of schizophrenia is useful in giving an understanding about the proper care for individuals with schizophrenia.
C. Limitation of the Problems
Since there are many problems of schizophrenia identified, this research is limited into three problems. The research is under psycholinguistic umbrella and it
focuses on examining symptoms of schizophrenia which are observable through the sufferer’s speech. These symptoms are hallucination, delusion, and formal
thought disorder FTD. To identify hallucination phenomena, this research uses Veague’s theory of
hallucination which classifies the phenomena into five types based on human physical senses. There are auditory hallucination, visual hallucination, tactile
hallucination, olfactory hallucination, and gustatory hallucination Veague, 2007: 19. This research also uses Veague’s theory of delusion which divided delusion
phenomena into six common types. They are delusion of grandeur, delusion of guilt, somatic delusion, persecutory delusion, delusion of reference, and delusion
of thought control Veague, 2007: 18-19. Meanwhile, this research uses Thought and Language Index TLI proposed by Peter F. Liddle to assess the FTD. This
instrument comprises poverty of speech, weakening of goal, looseness, peculiar word use, peculiar sentence construction, peculiar logic, perseveration, and
distractibility Liddle, 2002: 329-330. Furthermore, the data of this research are gained from the schizophrenic conversations of the main character in The
Uninvited movie.
D. Formulation of the Problems
Based on the limitation of the problems above, the research problems can be formulated as follows.
1. What are the types of hallucination reflected in the schizophrenic
conversations of the main character in The Uninvited movie? 2.
What are the types of delusion reflected in the schizophrenic conversations of the main character of the movie?
3. What are the types of formal thought disorder FTD which occur in the
schizophrenic conversations of the main character of the movie?
