KETIDAKFASIHAN BERBICARA PARA PEMERAN DALAM SERIAL DRAMA SHERLOCK OLEH SIR ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE (SUATU ANALISIS PSIKOLINGUISTIK)

Abstract

ABSTRACT

This study which entitled “Ketidakfasihan Berbicara Para Pemeran dalam Serial Drama Sherlock oleh Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (Suatu Analisis Psikolinguistik)” is an attempt to identify the types of speech disfluencies of the characters in the serial drama Sherlock and to analyze the causes of those speech disfluencies. In classifying and analyzing the collected data, the writer uses Fox-Tree (1995) and MacGregor’s (2008) theory about the types of speech disfluencies and Bortfeld’s et al. (2001) theory of what cause the speech disfluencies.

It is found that silent pauses are occurred the most because of the increase of cognitive process that results to a heavy planning and delays in utterances. Repairs are occurred the fewest due to the fact that repairs change information that will affect listeners’ comprehension. Therefore, people will monitor what they say more carefully to avoid repairing their utterances.

The speech disfluencies of the characters in the serial drama Sherlock is mainly affected by variables such as, cognitive load, communication medium, topic under discussion, addressee characteristic, speaker characteristic, as well as social and situational factors. It is because we encounter those variables in almost every time. Age and conversation partner are found to be the fewest to cause speech disfluencies in the serial drama Sherlock as there aren’t many older people and new characters in the serial drama.

This study will help students and the next researchers in expanding their knowledge about speech disfluencies and language production.
