Abstract

This study explored the production of figurative language as it occured in the communication of emotional state because it is worthy for the reader who is interested in semantics especially figurative language on the movie dialogue.

This study purposed to identify the types of figurative language used by the main character, to explain the meaning and function of those figurative languages and to explain the emotional states faced by the main character on The Judge movie by David Dobkin.

This study used a descriptive qualitative method. This study was carried out by formulating problem, collecting data, classifying data and analyzing data. The instrument in this study was the author itself. Meanwhile the documentation was used as techniques of data collection.
The result of this study found 9 types of figurative language, they are metaphor, hyperbole, paradox, metonymy, symbol, allusion, ellipsis, rhetoric and repetition in 46 utterances. From the analysis, there are some utterances contain more than one type of figurative language. They are metonymy in rhetoric and symbol in hyperbole. It is possible why the main character used two types of figurative language because metonymy and symbol are correlative figurative language. From the finding of the emotional state, there are only 6 emotional states of 8 basic emotions faced by the main character. They are anticipation, surprise, disgust, joy, anger and trust. It can be concluded that the way the main character used figurative language on this movie is not caused by fear and sadness because these emotional states have a similar set of homeostatic processes. Regarding this fact, it has concluded that the way the main character used figurative language is the overt behavior of the impulse to express his emotional state.
