Keyword: Deixis, SpongeBob Movie Script

Every information uttered by speakers’ refers to different things. The

meaning can point person, place, and time. Actually, understanding meaning of

the speakers is difficult. Thus, the speaker should understand the context of

conversation. Deixis is a part of discourse analysis, which concerns to the context

of utterance and referring to who is speaking, the time or place of speaking, the

gesture of the speaker or the current location of the discourse. According to

Wikia.com, The most viewed cartoon that is watched by children occurs in

SpongeBob movie. SpongeBob Square Pants is an American animated television

series. Created by marine biologist and animator Stephen Hillenburg, it is

broadcast on Nickelodeon, an American cable network.

This study was intended to investigate deixis based on the formulation of

the research problems as follows: (1) what are the types of deixis found in

SpongeBob movie script? (2) How is the frequency of each deixis in SpongeBob

movie script?

The purpose of this study was to: (1) found out deixis types and (2)

frequency of each deixis in SpongeBob movie script.

Research method: 1) the research was conducted by using a quantitative

descriptive while the data taken from the print media (SpongeBob movie season

script). And the data analysis was done by using the theory of pragmatics,

especially deixis from Levinson theory.

The research finding showed that: (1) there are five kinds of deixis,

namely person deixis (first person, second person, and third person), place deixis

(proximal and distal), time deixis, discourse deixis, and social deixis. Person

deixis was the most fragment found in the SpongeBob movie season. Person

deixis concerns the grammatical categories of person such as; me, you, them, us,

and so on. The center of Place deixis is the place that the speech event occurs

(here and there). Time deixis is the word used to point certain period of time in the

speech event (yesterday, tomorrow, now). Moreover, discourse deixis or text is the

expression of the referent is not shown in the sentence, but the referent is attached

to the last, next or the current position of the discourse. The last, social deixis used

in social absolute relation when an utterance is produced the speaker to addressee.

(2) The frequency of occurrence of types of deixis as follows: the person deixis is

the one which reached a greater level than another, means it was used by 156

following, place deixis used 22 times or (10.14%) and time deixis used 9 times or

(4.02%). The last, social deixis used 1 times or (0.46%). It is recommended to the

Study deixis is important to improve student writing skill because deixis

helps the writer and the reader understanding the production and interpretation

utterance. So the researcher suggests to the next researcher will discuss about the

kinds of deixis and the nature of the references in different fields, such as referent

anaphora and kataphora in deixis. Referent anaphora and kataphora are important.

It helps in understanding the meaning of an utterance of something.

Kata Kunci: Deixis, Filem SpongeBob

Setiap informasi yang diucapkan oleh para pembicara mengacu pada hal

yang berbeda. Setiap kata mempunyai arti untuk menunjuk seseorang, tempat atau

waktu. Sebenarnya, ketika pembicara memahami makna dari penutur memang

sangat sulit apalagi kalau tidak mengetahui konteks percakapanya. Dalam hal ini

Deixis menjelaskan tentang bagian wacana analisis, yang melibatkan konteks

ucapan, mengacu pada siapa yang berbicara, waktu atau tempatberbicara, sikap

pembicara atau lokasi wacana. Menurut Wikia.com, kartun paling banyak ditonton

oleh anak-anak adalah film SpongeBob. SpongeBob Square pants adalah serial

televisi animasi Amerika Serikat. Dibuat oleh ahli biologi kelautan dan animator

Stephen Hillenburg, serial ini di tayangkan di Nickelodeon, jaringan kabel

Amerika.

Penelitian ini menyelidiki deixis pada perumusan masalah penelitian

sebagaimana berikut (1) apa saja jenis deixis yang ditemukan di filem SpongeBob?

(2) bagaimana frekuensi setiap deixis yang muncul dalam film SpongeBob?

Tujuan dari studi ini adalah untuk: (1) mengetahui jenis deixis ditemukan

di dalam filem SpongeBob dan (2) frekuensi deixis yang muncul di masing-

masing filem SpongeBob.

Metode penelitian: 1) penelitian ini dilakukan dengan menggunakan

design deskriptif kuantitatif. Sementara, data diambil dari media cetak (text

episode SpongeBob) dan analisis data dilakukan dengan menggunakan teori

Pragmatika, berdasarkan teori deixis dari Levinson.

Dalam filem spongebob, peneliti menemukan ada (1) lima jenis deixis,

yaitu deixis orang (orang pertama, kedua orang, dan orang ketiga), deixis tempat

(proksimal dan distal), deixis waktu, deixis wacana, dan deixis sosial. Dalam

penelitian ini fragmen yang paling banyak ditemukan di episode film SpongeBob

adalah deixis orang. Deixis orang berhubungan langsung dalam kategori tata

bahasa orang (saya, Anda, mereka, kami, dan sebagainya). Deixis tempat adalah

tempat dimana percakapan sedang terjadi (di sini dan di sana). Deixis waktu

adalah kata yang digunakan untuk menunjuk jangka waktu tertentu dalam acara

tertentu (kemarin, besok, sekarang). Selain itu, deixis wacana atau teks adalah

ekspresi rujukan tidak ditampilkan dalam kalimat, tapi rujukan kadang melekat di

akhir, berikutnya atau posisi saat ini. Yang terakhir adalah deixis social, deixis ini

digunakan dalam hubugan social, ketika ucapan diproduksi penutur terhadap

penerima. (2) Persentase deixis digunakan dalam musim film SpongeBob adalah:

deixis orang merupakan salah satu yang mencapai tingkat yang lebih besar

daripada deixis lain yaitu 156 kali atau (71.89%). Detail dari orang deixis adalah

x

orang pertama, digunakan 75 kali atau (34,56%), orang kedua yang digunakan 62

kali atau (28.57%) dan orang ketiga digunakan 19 kali atau (8,75%). Berikutnya

adalah wacana deixis pengunaannya 29 kali atau (13.36%). Berikut, deixis tempat

digunakan 22 kali atau (10.14%) dan deixis waktu digunakan 9 kali atau (4,02%).

Terakhir, deixis sosial digunakan 1 kali atau (0,46%).

Dianjurkan untuk peneliti berikutnya. Karena deixis sangat penting,

terutama dalam meningkatkan kemampuan menulis peserta didik maka disarankan

berikutnya peneliti akan membahas tentang jenis-jenis deixis dan sifat referensi

dalam berbagai bidang untuk kaya temuan. Seperti rujukan anaphora dan

kataphora di deixis. Hal ini penting untuk membantu dalam memahami arti dari

ucapan yang membutuhkan pemahaman lebih luas.
