Abstract

An Analysis of Deixis Using Movie Turning Red. This research is purposed to find and analyze the three types of deixis analysis using George Yule's (1996) theory and the dominant type of deixis found in the Turning Red movie script. The researcher selected this movie as the subject of analysis because of its popularity of the movie and also because it consisted of many deictic words. Therefore, the Turning Red movie script can be analyzed using a pragmatic approach, especially using the theory from George Yule (1996) about deixis analysis. This study was conducted using a descriptive qualitative method. The data used is a script for Turning Red movie (2022). In addition, this script was classified into three types of deixis analysis based on their criteria. The result of this research showed that the three types of deixis, using George Yule's (1996) theory, are person deixis, spatial deixis, and temporal deixis, and are used in the Turning Red movie script. The use of personal deixis indicated the participant in this movie. At the same time, the spatial deixis indicated the location and place of the event from the participant. Moreover, the temporal deixis indicates the timing of the speech event used in this movie. The most dominant deixis is personal deixis, which consists of 192 deictic expressions, followed by spatial deixis, which has 69 expressions, and temporal deixis, which has 36 expressions.
