Different preferences of pre-sequence expressions uttered by the male and female characters in "10 things I hate about you" film - Digital Collection of Petra Christian University

This thesis is a study of pre-sequence expressions, utterances uttered by
the speaker as a signal to the hearer before the speaker goes to the main idea. Pre-sequence
is usually used before announcing, requesting, inviting, arranging, and
closing something. The writer is interested in doing an analysis on pre-sequence
in "10 Things I Hate About You" film. The two characters in the film, Patrick and
Kat, use many pre-sequences to each other to be indirect. Thus, the writer wants to
know the different preferences in the use of pre-sequence expressions based on
gender in the film. In conducting the analysis, she uses Levinson?s (1984) theory
of Pre-sequence. As a result, the writer finds that Pre-announcement is used the
most for both of them. It is because they are not confident enough to approach
each other. The writer also finds that in this film, Patrick uses more pre-sequence
rather than Kat does. For Patrick, pre-announcement is the mostly used, the
second is pre-request, the third is pre-arrangement, the fourth is pre-closing, and
the least is pre-invitation. While for Kat, pre-announcement is also the mostly
used, the second is pre-closing, the third is pre-request, the fourth is pre-invitation,
and none of them is pre-invitation.
