Abstract
This research is a psycholinguistic study of verbal and non-verbal language problems of the main male character in Adam, who is also a person having Asperger syndrome during his life. The objectives of this research are (1) to reveal the verbal language problems used by Adam in the movie Adam and (2) to reveal the non-verbal language problem used by Adam in the movie Adam. This research employed descriptive qualitative approach. Considering the approach, the key instrument of the research was the researcher herself. The data sources were the original VCD of Adam and the movie script. The data were in the form of utterances which contain the verbal and non-verbal language problems. The data were collected by choosing the script of Adam, re-reading the script, categorizing into the two types and noting the data. The data were then classified and analyzed. The trustworthiness was attained by using credibility, dependability, and conformability. In this research, the researcher also used two kinds of triangulation. They were theory and expert. The results of the research show two important points. First, based on the findings of the research, there are seven out of eight types of Asperger Syndrome’s verbal language problems in Adam’s utterances. The most frequent phenomena are literal interpretation, followed by lack of pragmatics, verbal fluency, pedantic language, idiosyncratic use of words, auditory discrimination and distortion and odd prosody. One type is absent. It is sounding the mind. Adam is a person with Asperger syndrome who recognizes that he has Asperger syndrome. When Adam’s father is still alive, he might give special treatment for individual with Asperger syndrome so Adam has erased sounding the mind. Second, there are five non-verbal language problems of Asperger syndrome. They are peculiar stiff gaze, limited facial expression, gauche body language, inappropriate expression and limited use of gestures. Peculiar stiff gaze is the most frequent phenomenon. This phenomenon happens because individuals with Asperger syndrome do not know what thing they have to see while they are speaking. They cannot do more than one thing in the same time. It ruins their concentration.
