Izzah Avanti

Abstract


Gender affects the use of the language that is spoken by speakers and displays the character and identity of the speaker's language. This study aims to describe the linguistic characteristics of men and women used by the main characters in the films ‘Umar wa Ikhwatuhu and ‘Ā’isyah wa Shadīqātuhā, uncover social and cultural factors that influence the use of speech used, and explore gender stereotypes that exist in both films. This research is descriptive qualitative research. The data source comes from 3 episodes of the two films, while the research data are the main character's speech and utterances, namely Umar and Aisyah. Data collection are done by documentation and literature study. The research results show that there are differences in linguistic characteristics at the phonological, morphological and lexical, syntactic and grammatical levels of the two characters of that gender. Language differences based on gender are also influenced by social factors, Arabic culture and Islamic religious culture. These two films also explore gender stereotypes by displaying the concept of exemplary and ideal language and speaking according to gender.
