AN ANALYSIS OF LANGUAGE STYLE IN TOP GUN: MAVERICK MOVIE

Abstract

This study analyzes the types of language styles found in the movie Top Gun: Maverick. The study aims to identify the different language styles employed by the characters and to examine the social factors influencing these styles. The writer used a qualitative method to categorize the language styles and explore their contextual usage within the movie. The findings reveal four language styles: formal, consultative, casual, and intimate, with casual style being the most frequently used, reflecting the emphasis on personal relationships and friendships among characters. The study also notes the absence of frozen style, likely due to the lack of formal or highly ritualistic contexts in the movie.
