I. Introduction
This thesis, "An Analysis of Language Style Used in “Two Fast and Two Furious” Movie," investigates the language styles employed within the film. The study uses a qualitative approach to analyze the dialogue, aiming to identify the types of language styles present and the contexts in which they are used. The research contributes to the field of sociolinguistics by examining how language variation reflects social contexts and interactions within a popular film, enriching understanding of how language functions in real-world settings. The practical implications provide valuable insights for students studying sociolinguistics and language variation, illustrating the application of theoretical concepts to actual communication.
1.1 Background of Study
The introduction establishes the significance of language as a communication tool, highlighting its role in social interaction and the importance of understanding language variation. It positions the study within the broader field of sociolinguistics, emphasizing the relationship between language and society. The selection of "Two Fast and Two Furious" as the data source is justified by its engaging narrative and the diverse social interactions portrayed, which offer opportunities to observe a range of language styles in action. The background also briefly summarizes the film's plot and its notable reception, showcasing its suitability for linguistic analysis.
1.2 Research Problems
The research questions are clearly stated: 1. What kinds of language style are used in “Two Fast and Two Furious” movie? 2. When is the language style used in “Two Fast and Two Furious” movie?
