Abstract

The objectives of this research are (1) to explain the speech abnormalities of a schizophrenic character, Romulus, in The Caveman’s Valentine; and (2) to present the characteristics of schizophrenia represented by Romulus in his speech. This research employed a descriptive qualitative method. It was concerned with the description of the data in the form of utterances produced by the schizophrenic character, Romulus, in which the phenomena of schizophrenic speech abnormalities exist. Quantification of the data was also done in this research, only to strengthen the answer of the first objective. Meanwhile, for the second objective, the explanation is without number. Finally, in order to support the credibility of the data findings, data trustworthiness was maintained in the form of triangulation and peer discussion (peer debriefing). The findings of this research show that first, among the eight types of schizophrenic speech abnormalities, only four of them occur. They are looseness, perseveration of ideas, peculiar use of words, and non-logical reasoning (peculiar logic). Looseness is the first most-often appearing phenomenon, followed by perseveration of ideas, peculiar use of words, and non-logical reasoning (peculiar logic). Second, all characteristics of schizophrenia, i.e. hallucination and delusion, are also shown in the movie. Hallucination is represented by the occurrence of visual and auditory hallucination, while delusion is represented by the occurrence of paranoid delusion and delusion of reference. In addition, for the characteristics of schizophrenia, the number of the occurrence of each phenomenon is not important since the existence of each characteristic is enough to judge that someone suffers from schizophrenia. Keywords : schizophrenia, looseness, perseveration of ideas, peculiar use of words, non-logical reasoning (peculiar logic), hallucination, delusion, The Caveman’s Valentine
