Key Word : Language, Language style, Movie, and “The Giver” movie.

In Expression of communication action, every human uses language style in spoken and written form. In choosing words and languages style, every human has different way based the situation and people faced. In formal situation, speaker usually chooses polite words and gives good structure. But it becomes different when the speaker chooses casual style in relaxed condition with family and friends. In this thesis, the writer aims to analyze language style that is shown by main character in film “The Giver”. The uses of language style and language function are shown in communication. The interest in this thesis is the story having a theme about equalization that is a society without a change to determine a life. There are many characters in this film, but writer focuses on one of characters that is Jonas. This thesis emphasizes language style in daily activity in spoken form.

This thesis uses Martin Joos theory. It distinguishes language style in five types that are frozen, formal, consultative, casual, and intimate. But, in this thesis, it does not find frozen language because the condition shown is daily activity in society. Writer uses descriptive method. Main instrument in this thesis is writer itself in description and collection data in scripts of film “The Giver”.

After analyzing data, writer concludes that Jonas as the main character in film “The Giver” is more dominant in using intimate language style. It happens because Jonas speaks more with his friend and family. Other language style sometimes used by Jonas is casual and consultative shown in semi-formal like training. But language style seldom is formal, it is used little in formal situation. Besides that, language function used by Jonas has delivery of mean in different forms based on situation and aim.

University Sunan Ampel of Surabaya. Pembimbing : Endratno Pilih Swasono, M.Pd

Kata Kunci : Bahasa, Gaya Bahasa, Film, dan Film “The Giver” .

Dalam pengungkapan suatu ekspresi berkomunikasi, setiap orang menggunakan gaya bahasa baik bertutur kata dalam bentuk lisan maupun tulisan. Dalam pemilihan kata dan tata bahasa setiap orang memiliki cara yang berbeda-beda sesuai dengan keadaan dan siapa yang dihadapi. Biasanya dalam keadaan formal pembicara memilih kata-kata yang sopan dan penyusunan kalimatnya baik. Berbeda jika menghadapi situasi yang santai dengan keluarga dan teman, pembicara menggunakan pemilihan kata yang santai dan akrab. Dalam penelitian ini, penulis bertujuan untuk menganalisa gaya bahasa yang ditunjukkan oleh pemeran utama dalam film “The Giver”. Penggunaan gaya bahasa dan juga fungsi bahasa dalam penyampaian yang ditunjukkan dalam ucapan berkomunikasi. Ketertarikan dalam penelitian ini adalah cerita yang bertemakan kesetaraan yang mengankat cerita suatu komunitas masyarakat tanpa adanya kesempatan dalam menentukan hidup. Didalam film ini banyak memiliki karakter, tetapi penulis tertarik dan fokus hanya pada satu karakter yaitu Jonas. Penelitian ini menekankan gaya bahasa dalam kehidupan sehari-hari terutama dalam bentuk lisan.

Penelitian ini menggunakan teori dari Martin Joos yang membedakan gaya bahasa kedalam 5 tipe, yakni frozen, formal, consultative, casual, dan intimate. Namun, dalam penelitian ini tidak ditemukan gaya bahasa frozen dikarenakan situasi dan kondisi yang ti tampilkan adalah aktifitas sehari-hari didalam bermasyarakat. Penulis menggunkan metode deskriptif kualitatif dalam penelitian, ini dikarenakan analisis data dalam bentuk kata deskriptif. Alat utama dalam analisis ini adalah penulis itu sendiri dalam penggambaran dan pengumpulan data dari skrip teks film “The Giver”.

Setelah mendapatkan data dan menganalisisnya, penulis menyimpulkan bahwa Jonas sebagai pelaku utama didalam film “The Giver” lebih dominan dalam menggunakan gaya bahasa intimate. Hal ini dikarenakan Jonas lebih banyak berkomunikasi dengan teman dan keluarganya. Gaya bahasa lain yang terkadang Jonas gunakan adalah casual dan consultative yang di gunakan dalam situasi semi formal seperti halnya saat pelatihan. Namun gaya bahasa yang jarang digunakan adalah formal yang hanya beberapa kali muncul di siatuasi yang fomal. Selain itu fungsi bahasa yang digunakan Jonas memiliki penyampaian maksud dalam bentuk yang berbeda-beda sesuai dengan keadaan dan tujuan.

CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION

In this chapter, the writer will be explaining six parts of introduction which they are background of study, research problem, research purpose, significance of the study, scope and limitations, and definition of key term.

1.1 Background of study

Communication is a process of transfering and delifering information from one to others. The process of human communication itself use language as a tolls. In other that, language be able to facilate people in activity of society. The language product in communication has several forms, such as requested something, for asking, for giving information, entertaining and others. The communication form occures in literary , such as movie, comedy, poetry, drama and others.

Language is a tool of people to interact each others. It is related with Chaer ( Abdul Chaer 2003 ) state that language is not only sound symbol syistem arbiter which used by group of society to communicate, cooperate each other and also identifies them. Therefore, language has the different ways in speaker’s desire to get information. Language should be considered some factors in communication. those are setting, participant, ends, act sequences, key, instrumental, norms and genres (Haymes 1974). Moreover, the different ways in spoken delivery is style personality. According to Missikova (2003:16), style is a way of speech or a kind


(13)

of utterance which is formed by means of conscious and intentional selection, systematic patterning and implementation of linguistic and extra-linguistic means with respect to the topic, situation, function, author’s intention and content of an utterance. Furthermore, some theory as like Joos (1967) in the Five O’clocks is devided into five types, those are Frozen, Formal, Consultative, Casual and Intimate. All the types have characterization and function such as frozen which is actually used in religion ceremonial, casual which is appropriating in relax situation and intimate commonly in conversation with close friend.

Language style expresses human feeling. It produces language by oral and written form. In writing, the writer puts the utterances form in spoken language. While, in oral form, the speaker delivers a message in order to be a heard and know what the speaker wants directly. Joos (1967: 50 ) stated that speaking is very formal or very informal choice are being governed by circumstance . It can be concluded that conversation can determine the situation with whom they talk and adapt where the place is.

Talking about communication, it cannot separate with media as a tool to get information or life entertainment activity. Movie is the one of literary interpreted cultures. Sometimes, movie is called as film a type of visual communication which is used by moving pictures and sound to tell or inform the stories that help people to learn. The most people in the world watch movies as a type of entertaiment or a way of having fun. Furthermore, fun movie means movies that make the viewer laugh. Otherwise, there is a movie that make them crying or


(14)

feeling afraid. Movie has some genres such as love, comedy, education, fiction and others.

From the explanation above, the writer decides to choose one of American movie entittled “The Giver” movie. Related to the genre, “The Giver” is Canadian-America-South African social scince fiction film directed by Philip Noyce. The movie is played by nine actor and actres, they are Jeff Bridges as The Giver, Brento Thwaites as Jonas, Odeya Rush as Fiona, Meryl Streep as The Chief Elder, Alexander Skarsgard as Jonas' father, Katie Holmes as Jonas' mother, Cemeron Monaghan as Asher and famous singer Taylor Swift as Rosemary .This movie adopted from a novel by Lois Lowry in 1993 but in 2014 presented movie of this novel.

“The Giver” movie presents a story of world in sameness without having differences and choice. This movie appropriated a social phenomenon about future world condition in fiction act. Most people of community do not know race, culture, religion, ethno centricity, love, and death. Furthermore, they live with straight rules from the chief of community. They live in sameness of a fairly because this sameness, createsa mistake to young people revolt to their wrong life occurred. There is Jonas who gives a better live to be a simple life normally. Jonas feels different with his friend because can see the green of leaves. It distinguishes Jonas to other people in that community, that is able to see grey colour only. The strength of Jonas appears when the graduation process of getting a job as receiver of a memory in the past.


(15)

The writer is interesting with the role play of this movie and decided to analyze language of this community because of the theme of this movie showing sameness. This movie appears nine characters but the most intereset one is Jonas as main charactere of “The Giver” movie. That is because Jonas has attractive language style on “ The Giver’ movie. The writer analyse the function of Jonas language as well.

There are many previouse research which are conducted with the object and theoritical in analysis. The first research is conducted with this study are the research of Nurul Fahmi (2014) as the student of UIN Sunan Ampel Surabaya. Nurul talks about the language style in a serial story Garising Pepesthen in the

Panjebar Semangat magazine. The resercher explains about the specific language and the style in Java language in one of media news especially magazine. Moreover, the resercher revealed the level of Javanese language practiced in the society and that she applied on her analysis. This research provide five types of language style by Martin Joos theory. Analyzing Java language based on level and society’s norm in written text by magazine as object.

The second reserch are research of Nabillah Rachmawati, (2015) student of UIN Surabaya entitle “ Language Style used by Endrew and Margaret in “ The Proposal” movie”. This research analyzes Endrew and Margareth utterance applied Keraf theory in language style. In this analyzing using Keraf theory, the researcher classify language of Endrew and Margareth into three kinds, they are formal, informal and colloquial. Furthermore, after classify the researcher continued with function of language style used by two characters. The result


(16)

reveals that is the most of styles used by two characters are informal and colloquial style.

Similar with Rahardia Rosyidin, which used movie as the object. His thesis entitled “Language Style in Fury Movie” (2015), he isstudent of UIN Sunan Ampel Suarabaya. His thesis analyze language style all character to know what language style use. Theory of Martin Joos is applied in this research to find how many types of style are uses. Nevertheless, this research gives some contribution to support this study. The characteristic of five types in language style while be a sources enrich knowledge about style. This research uses Descriptive Qualitative to find the conclusion within Fury movie language style used.

There are some reasons the writer chooses this title. First, genre of this movie is fiction. Furthermore, story which describe future without differences and choice for human in every side. Character and setting is unique and sameness is the key word of this movie. The second, because of sameness some words commonly we are practice , the words related with emotion such as love, and affection forbiden to used of this community because classify in impolite word.

Language have role of utterence in “The Giver” movie. Moreovere, the writer wants to analyze style of main character in this movie to know the style of language which is used in daily activity. This study emphasizes the language style, particularly in spoken form which is used in “The Giver” movie script.

CHAPTER II

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

This chapter discusses about concept of languagae style, the kinds of langugae style and the functions of language style. The first concept is talking about sociolinguistic that has language variation. Language variation is divided into five point. Those are Dialect, Accent, Language, Register and Style. The kinds of style are Formal, Intimate, Frozen, Casual, Consultative.

2.1 TheoreticalFramework

2.1.1. Sociolinguistic

Sociolinguistics is concerned with investigating the relationships between language and society with the goal being a better understanding of the structure of language and how language function in communication ( Wardhaugh 2002:12). Moreover, language and society cannot be separated each other because the function is to communicate. Other side, language is used as human identity in the community of region. It can create the culture of one region to make the rule or police there. Language has the characteristic in every place because the ethnic of one place is different with another.It is related with Holmes (1992) statement that the sociolinguist’s aim is to move toward a theory which provides a motivated account of the way language is used in a community, and of the choices people make when they use language. The concept of sociolinguistic is also related with Coulmas (1997:2) that “Sociolinguistic is the study of the correlations between


(21)

language use and social structure”. The concept how people within structured their live together in society represents some ways such as identity, power, class, status, solidarity, accommodation, face, gender, politness, and the others. The social status actually languages are differs, the rule and level which should be practiced. It differs from the average listener, though, in trying to develop an awareness of language that goes below the level of social stereotypes (Mayerhoff, Miriam 2006: 28)

Language consists of word, vocabulary, phrase, sentences, grammatical. So, ithas differences each other. The language begins from word but the set of words is vocabulary. Every place has the characteristic that has differences each other. Sometimes, we can find one region which has different character such as Surabaya and Gresik that both have different pronoun and dialect also.

Sociolinguistic has a variety included language, dialect, registers, styles or other form as well as a standard variety. This study uses the style of language to analyzekindsof language style which is used in the writer subject is“The Giver” movie.

2.1.1.1 Language Variation

It includes languages, dialects, accents, registers, styles, or any other sociolinguistic variation. Variation means the variety of language in society, the differences of every community or region is a common. It happens because of several factors. Particularly, the main factor is culture. Every place has the characteristic and culture itself. This factor influences


(22)

11

the language form. There is considerable variation in the speech of any individual but there are also definite bounds to that variation: no individual is free to do just exactly what he or she pleases so far as language is concerned ( Wardaugh 2006). You cannot pronounce words any way you please, inflect or not inflect words. The variety of language are so many, we can know the dialect and vocabulary also. In one place, usually, the vocabulary selection is different as well depended on the norm. For the example, Javanese language has the level to communicate. The choice to use level in java language is appropriateness of the speaker and the interlocutor based on the age. That is the one of rules in Javanese culture. Hudson and Ferguson agree in defining variety in terms of a specific set of ‘linguistic items’ or ‘human speech patterns’ (presumably, sounds, words, grammatical features, etc.) which we can uniquely associate with some external factor (presumably, a geographical area or a social group) (An introduction to Sociolinguistic 2002:25).So, the variety language occurs because of some factors follows. First, different linguistic system for different languages and the next factors are different way of speaking to different situations as the explanation above using language in Javanese has the level to use. The user or society must know the rule or norm that is owned by the region itself. Next is language which is not asocial, relates to the society who use it, and it’s always changes. So, language agreements are decided of one community to use in behavior as communicate tools.


(23)

2.1.1.1.1 Language

Languages has a strong connection between ethnicity. It proves to be invaluable of nation-building because language become identity of region as cultural. Moreover, it can aslo be fraught with problem within groups seek to realize some other identity. Moreover, people usually know what language they speak, they may not always lay claim to be fully qualified speakers of that language. They may experience difficulty in deciding whether what they speak should be called a language proper or merely a dialect of some language.

Chaer said that Language is sound symbol syistem arbiter which used by group of society to communicate, cooperate each other and also identify themself. It related with statement of Wardugh, Trager and so on. (Abdul Chaer, 2003:16)

2.1.1.1.2 Accent

Speakers differ (or vary) at the level of pronunciation only (phonetics and/or phonology). They have different accents. Their grammar may be wholly or largely the same. Accents can index a speaker’s regional/geographic origin, or social factors such as level and type of education, or even their attitude (Ronald Wardaugh, 2006 :27).


(24)

13

2.1.1.1.3 Dialect

Dialect is language variation which is used by a group of people in one area or one time. For the example, in Indonesia,we know Java dialect Banyumas, Java dialect Tegal, Java dialect Surabaya and the others. ( Chaer, Abdul 2003:55)

According to Indonesia Wikipedia, the classifications of Javanese languageare various dialect. There are West Java dialect which consists of some region such as Banten , Cirebon, Tegal using Ngapak language and Bandungused Sunda. It is different with dialect of Central Java with another character such as Semarang, Yogyakarta and Solo. In this case, East Java has a different dialect.It can be seen some areas such as Malang, Kediri, Surabaya, Ngawi, Probolinggo, Ngada (Tengger), Lumajang, Banyuwangi (Oseng). The form of variation actually in Java language can varies. The point of explanation above that Java language has some dialects in one region such as East Java. All of them occure because different in each society communication with standart language every place.

2.1.1.1.4 Style

Style refers to ways of speaking – how speakers use the resource of language variation to make meaning in social encounters. (Nicolas Coupland 2007). Indeed, Coupland statement clarifies In the book of Martin(Joss “ The Five Clocks” 1967 the kind of style are frozen, formal,


(25)

consultative, casual, intimate. Frozen is used in a very formal setting or situation. For example, official ceremony, religious ritual, national constitution, etc. Formal is used in formal situation such as presidential meeting, education, religious speech, official letter, etc. Consultative is used for operational language such as speaking between student & teacher, boss &employee. Casual is used in relax and informal situation .Intimate is used in intimate & the most relax situation.

Meyerhoff claims that language style also can describe the personality, mindset, condition of human (A Sociolinguistic Study Of Shifting Formalities 2006:27). So, human condition can created human’s language in activity such as when someone has normal condition it will be different from casual condition.

According to Keraff ( Diksi dan Gaya Bahasa 2009: 12) said that style is come from Latin word “Stilus”, that as tool to write in candle plaque. The skill in using this tool influance clearness of writing in that plaque. Because of that development, language style becomes a part of diction or the word , certain pharase or clause in facing a certain occasion.

In journal of Rika (2014) takes Hornby statement that “style is distinctive manner of doing, performing, or presenting something” (Hornby). So, according to Hornby in Rika’s thesis, I conclude that style is presenting of language in one society which are represented as cultural. However, language in society is the norm, policy and the rule of belief.

1) Kinds of Language style

Martin Joss (1967:153) devided language style into four type there are: Frozen style, a formal style, a consultative style, a casual style, and Intimate syle . The explanation of those styles are :

1. Formal style

Nations of linguistic formality are closely connected to issue of solidarity, politeness, respect, status and hierarchies (Erika Solyom). In oxford dictionary, the meaning of formality is something done or happening as a matter of course and without question. So, formal is the speech or language with the rule within the norm of the speaker. Formal style is common in meeting, discussion or gathering with the higher level to get the relation in our business. In news, all the side use formal language or formal style to show the politeness. Such as, News paper, the writing language uses formal to deliver the message to the reader.

According to Labov ( 1972), the formal rule in linguistic has a function to account for variable optionally. In speech, every one actually must be careful. It is called formal. In other hand, the informal language is said casually. The example of casual is like talking with friends. We should not use the formal language to communicate because it will show the frozen act in our conversation. So, the formal language is only used depending on the context


(27)

and situation, condition and also with whom we talk at that time or appropriate moment.

Formality and informality in spoken or written language are appropriate in the situation. This is described to the event or the level of formality. Alison Wray& Aileen Bloomer (2006: 84) give the statement “A written text is not necessarily more formal than an oral text where the topic is the same”. So from that statement, oral text and written text are different if they have the same topic to discuss. That can find in the novel or humor books such as comic. We can know in verbal communication between president and society must use formal form. Otherwise, the creativity of human can be unique to deliver the assumption or idea to government. The art creature can improve their opinion with picture or article as the media. Yet, in the media news, formal and informal languages are so important because impolite word or a sentence determines their image in public. From that statement, I conclude the media news must use Formality.

2. Frozen style

This style is commonly for prose writing or for speech. Frozen style is used in a very formal setting or situation. It usually occures on official ceremony, religious ritual, national constitution. The text or speech is called as frozen because it is stiffly in practice. This style uses of formal and polite to show the identity of speaker and makes the reader of literary easy to be understood ( Farid Noor Romadhon 2012: 42 ). In Java language, it usually


(28)

17

happens in wedding ceremony which is used by MC to open and accept. The sentences indicate frozen style as in poetry “Aunt Jennifer's tigers prance across a screen, “, this line has deep meaning because the style is in act of expression of author feeling.

3. Casual style

This style is usually called as informal language.It refers to the situation in which utterences are expressed. It occurs between speaker and hearer which have close relationship. So, they usually use words repitition and frequently use ellipsis sentences (Teylin 2009: Haryanto, 2001:105). The charactersitic of this style is simply and shorten in speaking while. Commonly, used in inconversation between parent to their children, Family, and so on (Chaer and Agustina, 2014:71). The conversation between mother and her daughter is as follows:

Mother: “Well we need some cheese to make the pizza… Habibti would you mind going to the shops to get me some cheese?”

Amira: “Yes Mum”

4. Consultative style

Consultative style is used in business in discussing something. A speaker who uses this style usually does not plan what he wants to say (Haryanto, 2001:106). This types commonly used in the convesation when school, meeting or the discuss oriented in product or result. (Abdul Chaer and


(29)

Leonie Agustina, 2014:71). The example of sentences which point out consultative style, as follows:

a. Excuse me, i think it’s really important for me to add about the topic that we discuss. (TEYLIN 2012 : 42)

b. I see you will change the project and sale it to other compenies, right ?

c. Actually, we have the same views about this problem. So, why dont you join with us?

5. Intimate style

This type of style has a characteristic that is commonly used as personal language codes. It is only for certain grup. It occurs in the certain community which has its own language style (Haryanto 2001: 106). The utterences are usually simple and representative of what the speaker means. Intonation is more important than wording or grammar. The example below :

a. Tea’s cold = Cold

b. Jesus Chris..! = Oh my God c. Damn hot = Hot


(30)

2) The Functions of Language

Contextual analysis of spoken style in Jakobson’s writing is some ways liberate as well as in other ways constraining. Jakobson (1960) argued that language always has apoetic function, linguistics must account for it, and that it couldand should therefore account for poetry and other artistic forms as well.He does not hint that style has an interactional dimension.Thatstyling needs to be read andinterpreted actively by listeners/readers( Nicolas Coupland 2007: 26 ). In his theory, the functions of language has six parts, there are:

A. Referential Function (the cognitive ordering of propositional

meaning)

The core of the informative function of language is the external situation, the facts of a topic, the reality outside language, included reported ideas or theories.

Informative text provides information about any topic of knowledge. They identify and characterize phenomena. Style: impersonal, objectives, formal, non-emotive. It happens such as in textbooks, technical report, thesis etc.

B. Emotive function (affective and expressive meaning)

The core of expressive function is the mind of the writer/speaker. Language is used by the writer/speaker to express a feelings. Focussing on the writer or speaker, Personal, expression of feelings, attitude, opinions, the example is text of authobiography, personal correspondence, political speech.


(31)

C. Conative function (organising meaning relativeto an addressee)

The core of the vocative function is the reader/hearer and the addressee. Language is used to call upon the readership to act, think or feel, to react in the way to produce a certain effect on the addressee. The aim is to convince the readers and persuade. For the example: instructions, advertisement, theses, request.

D. Metalingual function (language ‘glossing’ or referringto itself)

The use of language is called as code by jaconson to discuss or describe itself. ( this entire articel is an example of metalinguistic function)

E. Phatic function (language marking that people arein social contact)

Language is used to establish or maintain contact between the addresser and addressee. The phatic function can be observed in greetings and casual discussions of weather, particularly with stangers. It also provides the keys to open, maintain, verify or close the communication channel while say “Hello?”, “OK?”

F. The Function of Language Style

According to I.R Galperin a functional style of language is a system of interrelated language which means to serves a definite aim in communication. The public style of language becomes a separate style in the middle of the


(32)
