Abstract

This study aims to explore the lexical cohesions used in Snow White and the Huntsman movie as well as to reveal the implications toward English language teaching (ELT). This descriptive qualitative study focused on the lexical cohesions of synonyms, antonyms, and repetitions, the contexts and contributions of each element on plot establishment and the purpose of delivering the message. The findings showed that repetitions in the movie are mostly used than others; 67.7% repetitions, 25.8% synonyms, and 6.5% antonyms. The findings also showed that the lexical cohesions are presented under some contexts, emphasizing the utterance, making variations in the utterance, making contrast in the utterance, seeking agreement on something or making sure of something, and highlighting important points in the utterance. Furthermore, the findings also revealed that the lexical cohesions contribute to the plot establishment and the purpose of delivering the message of the movie because lexical cohesions are very useful in making the scenes in exposition, complication, crisis, climax, and resolution part of the movie more understandable and meaningful. Finally, the lexical cohesions can be potentially useful for ELT practices such as introducing and using lexical cohesions in teaching speaking and writing, finding spoken lexical cohesions in the teaching of listening, and examining lexical cohesions in texts through the teaching of reading because students have to be aware of the links that hold chunks of text together and that contribute to the creation of a text as a unit of meaning.

Abstract

An utterance having pragma-stylistics elements has to be interpreted well because how the speakers communicate and the hearers interpret cannot simply be defined from the language features or the meaning of the words. This research aims at analyzing pragma-stylistics strategies by main characters in a movie, the elements of the pragma-stylistics strategies in the story plot of the narrative stages in the movie, and the pedagogical implications of the pragma-stylistics strategies toward English Language Teaching (ELT). This descriptive qualitative research obtained the data from Cinderella movie. The pragmatics elements consist of speech acts, while the stylistics elements consist of figures of speech. The results show that there are 43 pragma-stylistics strategies that contain of 32 speech acts and 11 figures of speech in Cinderella movie. The results also show that the pragma-stylistics contribute the story plot of the narrative stages in Cinderella movie that can be seen in all parts of the movie plot; exposition, complication, crisis, climax, and resolution. Last but not least, the pedagogical implication of this study found that the pragma-stylistics strategies are also useful in learning context since it offers some concrete and classroom-ready activities for ELT.
