Abstract
This study aims to examine the women’s language features used by Dora in “Dora and the Lost City of Gold” movie. This movie tells the story of a teenage girl who has lived in the jungle all her life, then moves to the city to continue her studies. There are two problems to be answered by the researcher in this study: (1) What are the women’s language features used by Dora in the “Dora and the Lost of City Gold” movie? and (2) What is the function of women’s language used by Dora in the “Dora and the Lost City of Gold” movie? This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach. This study discusses data analysis related to women’s language features using Lakoff’s theory and the function of using women's language using Pearson’s framework. The data obtained by the researcher was divided into two forms, namely data in the form of Dora's utterances and data in the form of the context of Dora's utterances. The findings of this study indicate that Dora uses eight women’s language features with a total of 91 data. Each feature of Dora's utterances is 37 data for lexical hedges and filler features, 6 data for tag questions, 8 data for rising intonation, 4 data for empty adjectives, 9 data for intensifiers, 7 data for hypercorrect grammar, 9 data for superpolite form, and 11 data for empathic stress. Meanwhile, precise color terms and avoidance of strong words were not found in this study. In addition, the researcher also found five functions of women’s language: expressing uncertainty, getting a response, softening utterances, starting a discussion, and expressing opinions or feelings. From this study, the researcher concludes that Dora uses women’s language features based on Lakoff's theory and also uses these features appropriately based on Pearson's theory of female language functions.
