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.
