Abstract

This research aims to identify the dominant language function and the moral values in the dialogue of the movie Seher. The subject of the research is the movie Seher itself. This research employs a qualitative method using content and semiotic analysis techniques. The theoretical framework utilized is Jakobson's theory of language functions for dialogue classification and Roland Barthes' semiotic theory for dissecting moral meanings. Based on the analysis results, the Directive function was found to be the most dominant with 130 dialogues, indicating the movie’s plot is strongly driven by commands that trigger character consequences. The Expressive function is also highly prominent with 128 dialogues, reflecting the characters' inner suffering. The research results show that the movie denotatively depicts acts of revenge and black magic, which connotatively symbolize a loss of moral control. Positive moral messages identified include honesty, devotion to parents, patience, and empathy. Data processing to obtain these results was performed by transcribing the dialogue and conducting data reduction to filter the conversations most relevant to the research objectives. In conclusion, the movie Seher successfully utilizes language functions and semiotic signs to convey a powerful moral message regarding the destructive consequences of revenge and the misuse of supernatural power.
