Abstract

This study examines sexist language used by characters that reflect gender discrimination in The Scarlet Letter movie. There are research problems to be solved in this study, namely: (1) What types of overt sexism and indirect sexism are used by the characters in The Scarlet Letter (1934) movie (2) How does the sexist language reflect gender discrimination used by the characters in The Scarlet Letter (1934) movie. This research used a qualitative approach to comprehensively and systematically explain the phenomenon under study. Data was collected by downloading transcripts of conversations in the movie, which were then analyzed to identify types of sexist language that indicate gender discrimination. The analysis was continued by classifying to find out the types of sexist language reflecting gender discrimination used by characters in The Scarlet Letter movie. The results show that the use of sexist language includes 21 data of overt sexism, namely 7 data on naming, 1 data on generic pronouns and nouns, 10 data on semantic derogation, 2 data on transitivity, and 1 data on jokes. For indirect sexism, this study found 28 data of indirect sexism, namely: 1 humor data, 7 conflicting message data, 6 collocation data, 7 androcentric perspective data, and 7 presupposition data contained in this movie. In the relationship between sexist language and gender discrimination, the researcher found that of all the used of sexist language, the characters in The Scarlet Letter tend to use semantic derogation of overt sexism. Furthermore, the data on the use of sexist language reflects gender discrimination triggered by social behavior and social treatment, such as marginalization, subordination, stereotype, violence against women, and job segregation. The characters in The Scarlet Letter use language that reflects gender discrimination, which is influenced by the rigid gender roles and expectations prevalent in Puritan society. The results of this study provide a thorough understanding of how sexist language is used in issues of gender discrimination
