Abstract
This research is aimed at investigating the stereotype phenomena in multicultural society as represented in The Express movie. The objectives of this research are (1) to identify the linguistic features of stereotype as reflected by the characters in The Express movie, (2) to explain the factors initiating stereotype, and (3) to examine the functions of stereotype expressed by the characters in The Express movie. This research used descriptive qualitative method providing the description of social phenomenon seen from the language use. The data were taken from the selected utterances spoken by the characters that were reflecting stereotypes extracted from the transcript of The Express movie. In order to check the data trustworthiness, triangulation method was preserved in this research. The results of the research show that five linguistic features reflecting stereotype uttered by the characters are employed in The Express movie: descriptive action verbs (DAVs), interpretive action verbs (IAVs), state verbs (SVs), adjectives (ADJs), and noun categories (NCs). NCs become the most dominant feature employed to assign a certain group. It frequently occurs toward out-group category. Then, five factors initiating stereotype are revealed, i.e. as a way to simplify the demand of the perceiver, different social roles, group conflict, different power, and as a response for a need of social identity. It is found that different power dominates the factors initiating stereotype. The functions of stereotype appear as promoting the loyalty and consensus of the dominant group, rationalization or excusing the discriminatory behaviour, reducing mental effort, and proving the inferiority of the sub-group. Promoting the loyalty and consensus of dominant group becomes the major function of stereotype since solidarity within a group is really necessary to maintain the existence of the group. The results indicate that stereotype phenomena in The Express movie are predominantly addressed to the out-group membership. Keywords: sociolinguistics, stereotype, The Express.
