the island, Hiccup responded to Astrid negatively by saying “I’ve never seen anything like it”
.
Hiccup disagreed to Astrid’s opinion as she thought Hiccup had already known the island
.
Hiccup then continued to informed his friends about his disagreement as the dragon trappers thought they were the one who
did that
.
This datum shows that Hiccup disagrees with how Astrid thinks about him, just because Hiccup found the island first
.
Hiccup thinks that he needs to tell Astrid his opinion to contradict Astrid’s opinion
.
Thus, the function of the assessment-disagreement above is to state the speaker’s opinion
.
To summarize the findings of this research, the assessment- disagreement dispreferred response is the main type Hiccup performed in
How to Train Your Dragon 2 movie
.
The relationship between Hiccup and the other character is the reason why the dispreferred responses happen, since
Hiccup is a character that is seen a bit rebellious and hard to agree with the other character
.
Furthermore, there is always a reason behind Hiccup’s dispreferred responses, which resulted in the finding of certain functions
.
Among six functions that have been presented in the findings, it can be seen that Hiccup
often perform the dispreferred responses to state the speaker’s disagreement and to state the speaker’s opinion
.
Those functions appear as a result of Hiccup’s disagreement with the first speaker’s opinion or assessment on him
