SEMIOTIC ANALYSIS OF BODY LANGUAGE IN THE MOVIE ANNA AND THE KING
CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
A. The
Background of the Study
Language
has a very important role in human’s life because they use it to communicate among themselves. According
to Siahaan (2008: 1) Language is an unique
human inheritance that the very important role in human life such as in thinking, communicating ideas, and
negotiating with others. It means that language
cannot be separated from human because they use it as the way of their communication.
When
human learn language, they always to communicate with other people. And in the every culture use any
language. Then when intercultural differences
and conflicts arise because of culturally diverse ways of communicating, intercultural
interactants may or may not always have knowledge of
the differing meanings and intent behind the culture acts.
Semiotics
(also called semiotic studies; not to be confused with the Saussurean tradition called semiology
which is a part of semiotic) is the study of meaning-making,
the study of signs and sign processes (semiotic), indication, designation, likeness, analogy,
metaphor, symbolism, signification, and communication.
Semiotic is closely related to the field of linguistics, which, for its part, studies the structure and
meaning of language more specifically.
The
semiotic tradition explores the study of signs and symbols as a significant part of communications. As
different from linguistic, however, semiotic
also studies non-linguistic sign system. Semiotics
is frequently seen as having important anthropological dimensions; for example, Umberto Eco
proposes that every cultural phenomenon may
be studied as communication. Some semioticians focus on the logical dimensions of the science, however. They
examine areas belonging also to the life science-such
as how organisms make predictions about, and adopt to, their semiotic niche in the world. In general,
semiotic theories take signs or sign systems
as their object of study: the communication of information in living organisms is covered in biosemiotics
(including zoosemiotic).
Body
language is an outward reflection of a person’s emotional condition. Each gesture or movement can be a
valuable key to an emotion a person may be feelingat
the time. The key to read body language is being able to understand a person’s emotional condition while
listening to what they are saying and nothing the
circumstances under which they are saying it. In
the life people like watching a movie, movies serves as a media entertainers and information. And the
film is conductor information for the public, any
genre and the theme the movie must expected to leave the moral easy to understand. But the fact the use of body
