Abstract :
The study is conducted to observe the speech disorders produced by the
character in Britain?s movie, The King?s Speech. Speech disorder refers to a
delay in producing language and in developing the speech, it reduces the voice
quality which involves the sound, volume, and the disturbance of sound
rhythm and it is difficult to be understood.The speech disorder is classified as
aphasia, apraxia, dysarthria, stuttering, and cluttering (Feldman, 2005;
&Lanier, 2010). From those types of speech disorder, the focus of the research
was stuttering found in the movie. The Guitar and Yaruss & Reardon-Reeves?
theories are used in this research. The research applies a descriptive qualitative
method because it describes more to the phenomenon of speech disorder in the
movie. The data were taken from all of speech uttered by the character. The
research reveals the findings that there are three types of stuttering, i.e.
blockings, prolongations, repetitions, and four forms of repetitions produced
by the character, i.e. monosyllabic whole word, individual sounds or syllables,
multisyllabic whole word and phrase repetition. Among them, blockings are
the most type of stuttering produced by the character and multisyllabic whole
word is the rarely form of type of speech disorder produced. In this research,
psychological aspects such as trauma, depression, anxiety, pressure, and fright
are factors that can cause the character suffer from stuttering whereas pressure
and depression are the factors mostly found as the cause of speech disorder
produced by the character in the movie. To the linguists and pathologists, the
contribution is giving collaboration in researching the topic and it is expected
for the next researchers to discuss other aspects deeply in the future.
