In our daily life, the need of communication is
unavoidable. Communication takes an important role in our life as a human being
in order to make an interaction with others. Communication means sharing some information
that we know. In sharing that information we need a language as media to
transfer it.
Language is an important aspect in our daily life. We
need and we use language everyday. Language plays an important role in
communication. Through language people are able to express their feelings,
ideas, or intention clearly. They are also able to get information easily by
reading newspaper, watching television, or listening to the radio with the help
of language. In short, language is the main and important tool in
communication.
In communication there are at least two parties. They
are speaker or writer and listener or reader. Beside that, there is also
another element in communication that is quite important channel, e.g.
telephone, television, and later or printed media.
In using language people not only use the standard
language which is easy to be understood by other people. They sometimes use
language variation which will show their identity. They use register in their
communication process which is clearly understood by particular people. That is
why, to make the communication fluent, people also need to know and understand
register of particular field which they frequently use in their communication.
Linguistic varieties linked … to occupations, professions,
or topic have been termed register (Harold 1996: 40). The register of law, for
example is different from the register of medicine, which in turn is different
from the language of engineering – and so on.
Register is usually characterized solely by vocabulary differences,
either by the use of particular words, or by the use of words in a particular
sense.
From the explanation above, we know that register is a
variety language that understood only by a few of people. That is why the
writer wants to observe the register in the movie. Why the movie?, the writer
chooses the register in the movie to observe because many people like movie and
enjoy the movie especially war movie. Based on this phenomenon, the writer is
eager to conduct a research entitled A
STUDY ON MILITARY REGISTER USED IN WAR MOVIE.
