out of the “swamp of despair” Helliesen, 2008. Providing motivation is also part of therapist role to the stutterer by reinforcing those moments of triumph and
helping the stutterers analyze speech therapy failures and turn them into success. The therapists must know the basic symptom from the stutterers. They
have to identify the stutterers‟ characteristics that are mostly negative emotion such as penalty, frustration, anxiety, guilt and hostility. This step is believed to
help to maintain the stuttering because those symptoms should be reduced during the therapy. “Desencitization therapy occurs continually as therapy proceeds, and
it allows the stutterers to look more objectively at this speech as they progresses through the various step” Helliesen, 2008.
2.5 Related studies
Related studies are needed to compare the research with the other existed research that have the same topic andor object. While functioning as the
comparison, the studies also function to prove that the research has the own interest that differs from the previous researches. Therefore, there are two related
studies; a journal and a thesis that are used as the related studies in this research. The other researches relating to the movie The
King‟s Speech have existed. Journal titled
Style and Language of Inequality in the Movie, The King‟s Speech that is written by Saima Karim is quite different with the previous one. It
analyzes the power of language in the movie King‟s Speech. It turns out that the
relationship between language and social inequality is the idea that some expressions of language are valued more than others in a way that is associated
with some people being more valued than others and some ideas expressed by people through language being more valued than others Karim, 2015.
The second study is from Riha Rahma Mufida in her thesis titled The Discourse of The King‟s Speech Film by Tom Hooper. This research uses
Cultural Studies as the approach to the discourse analysis. It uses the qualitative data analysis and data analysis techniques descriptively and interpretatively.
Other than using Cultural Studies approach, it uses the hermeneutic approach Mufida, 2015.
2.6 Theoretical framework
Theoretical framework reveals the significant of the theories. The theories are presented in chapter II. They are useful to be the basic knowledge to support
the analysis. The first research question is the discourse presented through the
interaction between the therapist and the king. The script is the main object of the analysis. Theory of discourse analysis is used to explain the foundation of the
research. Therefore, the type of discourse is presented. This research has written textual discourse meaning that the object is in the product of written text. The
written text is used because the object is in the form of movie script though inside the script there is a spoken form. The pragmatic theory is adopted to get the basic
knowledge about implicature. The structure of language is analyzed through the Seven Building Tasks
of Language SBTL and Systemic Functional Grammar SFG. SBTL explains the tasks of the language use by the significance, activities, identities,
relationships, politics, connections and sign system and knowledge. Meanwhile, the structure of language is seen through its clause. Thus SFG offers the analysis
through its ideational, interpersonal and textual function. PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
The second research question shows the process on how the power of language works in order to overcome the stuttering. This part combines the
theory of SBTL and SFG. The supported theories are the theory of stuttering as a psychological disorder and theory of the standard treatment. The latter is used to
validate the treatment executed by the therapist. PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
