Analyzing Data Drawing Conclusion

45 this feature because of their speech role model. Moreover, women use Standard English form to show good behavior in society. The researcher found 17 sentences 33.3 that used hypercorrect grammar. In this study, the researcher analyzed the conversation that used English standard forms. The researcher decided to choose long and correct sentences in Hart’s speech that were categorized as hypercorrect grammar. As a woman, Hart uses hypercorrect grammar in her speech. In the movie, Gracie Hart ensured whether or not Mr. McDonald got angry about the last case. It happened because Hart did not follow order commanded by Mr. McDonald. She uses hypercorrect grammar in her statement as shown in [1]. Moreover, hypercorrect grammar can also be found when Hart makes excuses [2] and [3] see appendix 1. [1] I didn’t realize it was stupidity. [2] I had a bite of my bagel and I forgot to pray. [3] I was dating him for a little while because he said he had an incurable disease. Based on the statements [1], [2] and [3], they are considered correct grammar since Hart consistently uses past tense form in her sentences. The above sentences are few examples of hypercorrect grammar. It is proven that women are capable in delivering good English. By using hypercorrect grammar means that a woman uses the English standard form constantly Milroy Milroy, 2002, p.30. Hypercorrect grammar also appears when Hart met Mr. Melling. Mr. Melling was shocked because Hart did not look like as a woman. Since Hart had to do an 46 order to be a Miss Jersey, she became a real woman. Hart attempted to say something to Mr. Melling as shown in [4]. [4] Can I get some Novocain? [5] Mike, can you give me a pint? From statement [4] and [5], the speaker uses correct form of grammar in using modal to ask something or to ask someone to do something. The statements also show that the speaker wants to be polite when asking someone. Holmes 2008 states that women use English standard forms than men because women are looking after their need to be valued. In contrast, men sometimes do not use modal like what women did to ask something, for instance, give me a beer? Another hypercorrect grammar was seen in [5]. [6] You might want to call San Antonio. In statement [5], Hart tends to use simple sentence with a correct form of grammar. She uses correct sentence by using modal verb and it is followed by simple and correct verb. Although the speaker uses simple sentence still she pays attention to standard form. Overall, these hypercorrect grammars are applied by Hart in her speech to make her communicative and professional. Moreover, women realize their lower position in society so they want to make it higher by using standard forms. 47

2. Filler Filler is also described

as ‘meaningless particles’ and assigned to the same category as ‘pause fillers’. The occurrence of filler does not alter the intended meaning Lakoff and Bucholtz, 2004, p.48. This feature indicates that the speaker is unconfident and uncertain Holmes, 2008, p.298. In the movie, Hart seemed so surprised looking that her friend came to her room. It was already midnight and her friend wanted to have a conversation with Hart while she felt tired. She felt doubtful to let her in. The use of filler in [7] indicated that Hart was uncertain about the way of her speech. [7] Oh, no, I was just, you know... grooming. Based on sentence [7], the speaker seems doubtful to tell her condition to the addressee. She uses filler you know to show her uncertainty since she is about lying to the addressee. It gives Hart time to think for a while to respond to the addressee. Filler is also repeated in Hart speech. It happened when Hart gathered with the entire Miss United States finalists. At first, she was annoyed by great sound that put in her ear. Then, she screamed and tried to make an excuse. [8] Ohh, I uhh... Im sorry. I had a bite of my bagel and I forgot to pray. In sentence [8], Hart uses filler because she is confused and not sure how to make an excuse. Then, she makes a pause to think for a moment to find a logic answer by using filler like Oh, I, uhh. Ohh, Uhh indicating that Hart is uncertain about what she is about to say. However, according to Liberman 2001, men also use language fillers like uhh but women use certain language fillers such as “like,” “you know,”
