Analysis Of Reference And Inference In The Film “Perempuan Berkalung Sorban”
Keywords:
Reference, Inference, Pragmatics, Gender Discourse, Perempuan Berkalung SorbanAbstract
This research explores the application of reference and inference as pragmatic aspects in the film Perempuan Berkalung Sorban directed by Hanung Bramantyo. The study aims to investigate how these linguistic elements contribute to the construction of meaning, particularly in the representation of gender, power, and religious values. Using a qualitative descriptive approach and grounded in pragmatic theory, particularly the frameworks of Yule (1996), Levinson (1983), and Thomas (1995), the analysis examines selected scenes and dialogues to identify types of references and the inferential processes engaged by audiences. The findings indicate that both reference and inference serve not only to maintain textual coherence but also function ideologically to represent resistance, critique religious patriarchy, and affirm women's agency.
