Abstract

This research investigates the language production produced by Lotje Sodderland as a person with aphasia in the movie My Beautiful Broken Brain. This research used the theory of types of aphasia and symptoms of aphasia by Ardila (2010 & 2014) and the theory of the illocutionary act by Searle (1979). This study aims to determine the type of aphasia experienced by Lotje and how Lotje produces illocutionary speech acts. Therefore, there are two problems in this study: (1) What are the types of aphasia that Lotje Sodderland suffers as the main character in My Beautiful Broken Brain movie? (2) How does aphasia sufferer produce illocutionary acts in My Beautiful Broken Brain movie? This study uses a qualitative descriptive research method because this research focuses on word production by Lotje Sodderland. The data of this research are in the form of words, phrases, and sentences spoken by Lotje Sodderland in My Beautiful Broken Brain movie. The subject of this study was Lotje Sodderland who had aphasia. The researcher takes sentences, words, or phrases produced by the research subject as research material to answer the first problem in this study. In addition, for the second problem, the researcher only chooses sentences that contain illocutions when the research subject interacts with her surroundings. The research instrument is the researcher herself. She is an essential instrument in this research because she examines the research data. The researcher collected data by downloading the transcript of the movie My Beautiful Broken Brain to make it easier to analyze the types of aphasia, and the illocutionary acts used by the subject of this research. As a result, the researcher found that Lotje suffered from Broca aphasia with the discovery symptoms of Broca aphasia such as repetition, naming, phonetic deviation, verbal paraphasias, agrammatism, and non-fluent against a total of 105 datums that were found by the researcher in the sentence production conducted by Lotje Sodderland. The researcher found that Lotje Sodderland had difficulty in producing illocutionary acts because of limited vocabulary due to aphasia. In addition, she has difficulty in composing sentences, experiences repetition of words and sentences that are ungrammatical, and stammers when producing illocutionary acts.
