Abstract

Women and men use language differently because they have different social roles and parts of the brain. These parts are called Broca's and Wernicke's areas, which play an active role in language processing. In practice, women have a group of special language features often used in everyday speech called women's language features. This research aims to identify the types of women's language features used and conveyed by the women's characters in Enola Holmes movie. This research was conducted by using library research. The primary data is taken from Enola Holmes's movie and script. The researcher used e-books, books, journals, and some internet sources for the secondary data. The researcher used documentary technique to collect the data and content analysis to analyze the data. The results showed that there are 99 women's language features with details of 20 data (20,20%) of super-polite forms, 19 data (19,20%) of intensifiers, 14 data (14,14%) of lexical hedges or fillers, 12 data (12,12%) of tag questions, 8 data (8,08%) of hypercorrect grammar, 7 data (7,07%) of rising intonation on declarative, 7 data (7,07%) of empty adjectives, 7 data (7,07%) of avoidance of strong swear words, and 5 data (5,05%) of emphatic stress. It can be concluded that women tend to use super-polite forms to show respect, politeness, and reveal the speaker's social class. There are three purposes for conveying women's language features, such as showing doubt and uncertainty, emphasizing the utterance's meaning, maintaining politeness, and showing their social status.
