The writers use social identity approach to analyze the problems. From the analysis, we find that Eliza’s character changes from unintelligible girl into sophisticated, elegant, and charming lady. Another character, Professor Henry Higgins is described as energetic, scientific type man but he is jerk. Then from the second problem, the influence of language toward character social identity is categorized into two, they are interpersonal behavior which is including gender and intergroup behaviors which are including social status, educational background and profession. By language, it can indicate one’s social status, but it can also change people’s consideration to that character. Sometimes we are still static with our concept of thinking even there is a character changing because of language use. But the other people have dynamic concept of thinking with the character changing because of language use. Opini Anda Klik untuk menuliskan opini Anda tentang koleksi ini! Kembali
