Abstract

This final project analyzes the use of prepositions found in the Toy Story 4film. The objective of the study is to explain how the prepositions are used in the English subtitle of Toy Story 4 film according to their types as offered by Frank (1972). The reason why I chose this topic was because film through its English subtitle can be used as an alternative media not only just for listening practice but also for teaching English structure, especially preposition. Preposition is not that simple, we need better understanding on it. In conducting the research, I collected the documents by gathering the whole script of the film. After the script was collected, I classified the dialogues which contain prepositions. Then, I made tables to classify them into 22 types of prepositions: time; place and position, and direction (indicate physical relationship); material or content; possession, characterized by: reason or cause; condition; source; exception; manner; purposes; subject; instrument; means: partition; apposition: addition; example; reference; accompaniment; and omission (indicate semantic relationship). The conclusions of this study would be: (1) one dialogue may contain one or more prepositions with different types and also functions, and (2) one preposition may be categorized into different types preposition because they are having different functions. The uses of preposition are mostly affected by the context of the sentences or utterances that we produced.
