A CRITICAL DISCOURSE ANALYSIS IN ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK OF “FROZEN” DISNEY FILM

Abstract

Critical discourse analysis is a type of discourse analytical research that primarily studies the way social power abuse, dominance, and inequality are enacted, reproduced, and resisted by text and talk in the social and political context. The original soundtrack can be a part of discourse because the lyrics of soundtrack as a text and texts are parts of opinion. The purpose of this study was to describe the meaning, contents, social aspect and social cognition in the soundtracks. The study used qualitative descriptive analysis. The data were taken from the lyrics then classified the contents by using Van Djik’s theory to analyze the data. The result of this study indicated that the structure of soundtracks contained macro, super, and micro structure. Macro structure conained general meaning. Macro sructure in the soundtracks told us about two sisters that were separated by their parents because of their different abilities. Super structure contained scheme. The scheme in the soundtracks told us abouttwo sisters that rebelled against their family. Micro structure contained the intrinsic elements. Micro structure in the soundtracks told us about two sisters that didn’t care with what had been discussed by people behind and the true love between both of them which made their lives happy.
