certain aspects developed by journalists. CNN also shows facts, information,
statements and opinions of experts, governments, scientists and related parties to

Structure.

This research aims to discuss Account in The Devil All the Time movie script,
based on Scott and Layman’s (1968) theory on the Justification and Excuses
aspects. Data was collected through searching, downloading, reading, watching,
and coding and the data collected was analyzed through several steps; presenting,
describing, interpreting, classifying and concluding the results of this research.
The results showed that the account really exists and is applied by the character.
The researcher finds several types of accounts, namely justification 5,
defeasibility 3, scapegoating 3, and biological 2. One type of account was not
found, namely an accident. In the finding, the researcher finds that every excuse
contains justification but every justification does not contain an excuse.
Moreover, the justification aspect is more dominantly used because the character
always justifies bad behavior of others or themselves. In excuses, the
defeasibility aspect is used because many murders are committed on the basis of
victims who deserve to be killed. The scapegoating aspect is used by the
character to accuse others of the mistakes he made so as not to become a suspect
of his actions and the biological is the last factor that causes Account’s behavior
in this Movie script.

The objective of this research is to identify and describe the use of conversational implicature in the “Burnt” movie. The researcher used the implicature theory by Paul Grice to analyze the conversational implicature. The research methodology used in this research is a qualitative descriptive method. The source of this research is the data from the “Burnt” movie. To collect data, the researcher used several steps: watching the movie, pausing the movie that has conversational implicature, annotating the data, screenshotting the data, coding the data and the last is reducing the data to present the needed data only. The result shows that both generalized and particularized conversational implicature is identified with the flouting maxim and the utterance that flouts the maxim has speech function. The use of conversational implicature in the character’s utterances is such as useful to conduct good communication in the workplace. The characters use conversational implicature to make the intention conveyed politely and delivered quickly.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the language metafunctions in Nick Vujicic’s Hear the Heart speech using Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) theory by M.A.K. Halliday and supported by other Systemic Functional Linguists’ theories. This study employed the qualitative method. There are 499 data of clauses that are investigated in this study. The result shows that in terms of ideational metafunction, the dominant process used by Nick was the mental process (33,07%) which indicates that he involved his senses to represent his experiences of the outer world as well as the inner world of his thoughts and feelings. In interpersonal metafunction, declarative mood (72,34%), high value of modality (38,50%), and second personal pronoun (58,62%) are the most frequently used in the speech, which shows his high commitment and certainty of the information he uttered and also to show his care and respect for the audience; thus, a close intimate relationship is maintained. Through textual metafunction, which is dominated by topical theme (52,70%), Nick attempts to get the audience’s attention to focus on the message of what is being said and gives many statements to tell the audience about his experiences in life. To conclude, by using the three metafunctions, Nick could organize his language choice properly to create meaning and achieve his purpose in the speech.
