Abstract

This study aims to analyze language style (figurative language) as a narrative reflection in the fictional prose of the short film Niko: Torang Pu Warna Beda Tapi Satu Dalam Cinta, produced by young West Papuan filmmakers and set in Sorong, Papua. The film portrays the dynamics of bullying and social diversity within a multicultural community. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through systematic viewing and note-taking of the film's dialogues and narration. Analysis focused on dialogue and narrative sequences containing localized language styles, emotional expressions, and social symbols. The findings reveal four principal functions of language style in the film: (1) as a reflection of local Papuan cultural identity, (2) as a means of constructing and differentiating character, (3) as a medium for representing social conflict and diversity, and (4) as a vehicle for conveying moral messages. The parallel deployment of connotative and narrative language data, eight instances each, demonstrates that conflict and resolution are proportionally structured within the film's narrative architecture. It is concluded that language style in this film functions not merely as a communicative instrument but as an ideological one medium affirming the values of unity in diversity within Papua's multicultural society.
