Abstract

The lack of attention to differences in the use of language features between male and female in filmic works shows the need for more in-depth studies in the realm of language and gender studies. This research aims to analyze the language features used by male and female characters in the film The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, using Jennifer Coates' theory as the main analytical framework. The study employed a qualitative method with a case study design, focusing on seven language features: minimal responses, hedges, tag questions, questions, commands and directives, swearing and taboo language, and compliments. A total of 143 data from male characters and 85 data from female characters were analyzed. The findings reveal that male characters tend to use more direct and assertive forms of language and male characters indicating a more cooperative and supportive communication style. Male characters used questions most frequently (52.45%) followed by commands and directives (17.48%), while female characters used hedges (25.88%), tag questions (8.24%), and compliments more dominantly. These results confirm the relevance of Coates' theory in media discourse and demonstrate that gendered language in film reflects broader social ideologies about masculinity and femininity. This study contributes to the field of sociolinguistics by showing how language helps construct gender identity in fictional narratives.

Kurangnya perhatian terhadap perbedaan penggunaan fitur bahasa antara karakter laki-laki dan perempuan dalam karya film menunjukkan perlunya penelitian yang lebih mendalam di bidang studi bahasa dan gender. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis fitur bahasa yang digunakan oleh karakter laki-laki dan perempuan dalam film The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, dengan menggunakan teori Jennifer Coates sebagai kerangka analisis utama. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan desain studi kasus, yang berfokus pada tujuh fitur bahasa: respons minimal, hedges, tag questions, pertanyaan, perintah dan arahan, kata-kata kasar dan bahasa tabu, serta pujian. Sebanyak 143 data dari karakter laki-laki dan 85 data dari karakter perempuan dianalisis. Temuan menunjukkan bahwa karakter laki-laki cenderung menggunakan bentuk bahasa yang lebih langsung dan tegas, sementara karakter perempuan menunjukkan gaya komunikasi yang lebih kooperatif dan mendukung. Karakter laki-laki paling sering menggunakan pertanyaan (52,45%), diikuti oleh perintah dan arahan (17,48%), sementara karakter perempuan lebih dominan menggunakan hedges (25,88%), pertanyaan penutup (8,24%), dan pujian. Hasil ini mengonfirmasi relevansi teori Coates dalam diskursus media dan menunjukkan bahwa bahasa bermuatan gender dalam film mencerminkan ideologi sosial yang lebih luas tentang maskulinitas dan femininitas. Studi ini berkontribusi pada bidang sosiolinguistik dengan menunjukkan bagaimana bahasa membantu membentuk identitas gender dalam narasi fiksi.
