Abstract

In this study the researcher focuses on observing the verbal disagreement strategies used by the female main character toward her family and her friends in “To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before” movie 2018. The aims of this study are to find the types of verbal disagreement strategies used by female main character toward her family, the types of verbal disagreement strategies used by the female main character toward her friends and the differences and similarities between the type of verbal disagreement strategies used by female main character toward her family and her friends. In analyzing this study the researcher applies Muntigl and Turnbul’s theory (1998). The researcher uses qualitative content analysis in developing this study. The result of this study shows that toward her family, Lara Jean as the female main character in the movie conveys four of five types of verbal disagreement strategies to show her disagreement: Irrelevancy Claim, Challenge, Contradiction and Contradiction followed by Counterclaim. Meanwhile, toward her friends Lara Jean conveys all of five types of verbal disagreement strategies: Irrelevancy Claim, Challenge, Contradiction, Counterclaim, Contradiction followed by Counterclaim. There is one point of similarity. Lara Jean uses contradiction strategy and it has the highest percentage in both of her family and friends. It is because contradiction strategy is the easiest way to deny and show her disagreement toward her interlocutor. For the differences, Lara Jean tends to use direct disagreement strategies such as irrelevancy claim more toward her family than toward her friends. Meanwhile, Lara Jean only conveys counterclaim which considered the most polite among the others type toward her friends. Those direct and indirect disagreement can indicate that toward the person who distance to Lara Jean she uses more mitigated disagreement, while toward the person who close to Lara Jean she uses more unmitigated disagreement.
