Abstract

This research, entitled Hegemonic Masculinity in Otto Anderson’s Character in A Man Called Otto, aims to examine the representation of hegemonic masculinity through Otto Anderson's character and explain the cultural factors that contribute to its construction. The primary data were drawn from the 2022 film A Man Called Otto, focusing on utterances that reflect traits associated with hegemonic masculinity. The data were collected using documentation and systematic note- taking techniques and were analyzed through a descriptive qualitative method. Connell’s (2005) theory of hegemonic masculinity and Wharton’s (2005) cultural framework were applied to investigate how masculinity is constructed and performed. The findings revealed a total of 154 utterances categorized into four aspects of hegemonic masculinity: emotional suppression, aggression, competitiveness, and power. These findings demonstrate that Otto’s behavior reflects socially constructed masculine norms shaped by cultural and generational values. The analysis further shows that masculinity is not an inherent trait but a performative identity regulated by social institutions. The study concludes that contemporary media, as exemplified in this film, plays a significant role in reinforcing and challenging hegemonic masculinity through character development and narrative structure.

Abstract

This study is entitled The Women’s Languages Used by Taylor Swift in Miss Americana Documentary Film. The study of sociolinguistics found that there are differences in how men and women speak. Holmes (2013) stated that women tend to speak in a more standard form of English. Based on the differences found in the way women and men speak, this study aimed to find the types of women’s language features and function in Taylor Swift’s utterances. Women’s language features proposed by Lakoff (1975) and women’s language function proposed by Pearson (1985) were applied in this study. The data of this study was taken from Miss Americana documentary film. The data source was taken from Taylor Swift’s utterances in the form of transcript of the film that was taken from the website. Qualitative method, particularly descriptive was used in this study. Based on 140 utterances, seven of them were analyzed. It was found that seven out of ten women’s language features were used by Taylor Swift. They were lexical hedges or fillers, rising intonation on declaratives, intensifiers, hypercorrect grammar, super polite forms, avoidance of strong swear words, and emphatic stress. Out of all features found, lexical hedges or fillers were the most frequently features used by Taylor Swift. Rising intonation on declaratives were the least ones used by Taylor Swift in the documentary Miss Americana. Four out of five function was found in her utterances. Lexical hedges were aimed to start a discussion. They were to get response, to express feeling to soften an utterance. Meanwhile, the women language’s feature fillers are function only as breath gap filler. Keywords: Women’s languages feature, Women’s languages function, Documentary film
