---

ABSTRACT

The research entitled women’s language features found in female character’s utterances in The
Devil Wears Prada Movie aims to identify the women’s language features based on Lakoff’s
theory and also to identify language function served by women’s language features found in The
Devil Wears Prada movie based on Jakobsen’s theory. This research was conducted by using
descriptive qualitative method, because the data of this research were in the words form of the
script of The Devil Wears Prada movie by David Frankel. While for collecting the data were
watching the movie several times, reading script movie and underlining female character’s
utterances containing the women’s language features. Then, the researcher selected the data
related to the problems of the research. Last, the data were arranged systematically in
accordance with the research questions. The data of this research were taken from utterances of
seven female characters in The Devil Wears Prada Movie which indicated women’s language
features. From ten features of women’s language, the researcher found nine features used by the
female character in The Devil Wears Prada Movie. They are lexical hedges or fillers (7), tag
question (3), rising intonation on declarative (2), empty adjectives (3), precious color term (1),
intensifiers (10), super polite form (4), hypercorrect grammar (0), avoidance of strong swear
words (3) and emphatic stress (3). Intensifiers are the most frequent women’s language features
used by female characters in The Devil Wears Prada movie because they want to emphasize or
strengthen their utterances deeply to attract addressee’s attention using intensifiers. Meanwhile,
hypercorrect grammar did not occur in this research because the female characters mostly used
informal language in their dialogue to shorten the gap among the characters. Then, there are
language functions served by women’s language found in female character’s utterances in The
Devil Wears Prada movie. They are expressive function, directive function and metalinguistic
function.
Key words: women’s language, women’s language features, The Devil Wears Prada
