The Study of Professor Higgins's and Colonel Pickering's character in B. Shaw's Pygmalion through sociolinguistic approach - Digital Collection of Petra Christian University

This thesis is a case study which uses sociolinguistic
approach in analyzing Professor Higgins and Colonel
Pickering's character in B.Shaw's Pygmalion. This study is
trying to prove that Professor Higgins and Colonel Pickering
have contrast manner and characters although they have the
same educational and social background. Hence, the analysis
and interpretation of the characters are based on the use of
the language which is limited on the employment of taboo
word, command, term of address, metaphor and sarcasm. The
data for the analysis are obtained from Professor Higgins's
and Colonel Pickering speeches uttered to all characters in
the play from Act I to Act V. The data covers language
factors and social factors which are analyzed later to get
the conclusion of the language use. From the conclusion of
the language use, the interpretation of Professor
Higgins's and Colonel Picttering's character is drawn. At the
final conclusion, the study shows that Professor Higgins have
contrast characters with Colonel Pickering. While Higgins is
a discriminative, arrogant and impolite man, Pickering is an
undiscriminative, gentle, and polite man. Higgins is impatient
and bad tempered compared to Pickering who is patient
and appreciative.
