The objectives of this research are to describe the types of presupposition
used by the main character in Conjuring 2 movie and to interpret the implied
meaning of the main characters’ utterances in Conjuring movie. Yule’s theory of
presupposition and implied meaning are used by the researcher to answer the
formulated research questions.
This research is a qualitative study applying descriptive-qualitative
method. The subject of this research is a movie entitled Conjuring 2 directed by
James Wan. The data were some scenes including the utterances said by speaker
and heard by hearer. The data analysis was conducted by classifying and
categorizing the data to find the inferences. The triangulation method was applied
to gain the trustworthiness of the data by consulting his findings with his
consultants and friends.
The findings of the research are as follows: in Conjuring 2, all Yule’s six
types of presupposition are found. Those six types of presupposition are
Existential Presupposition (5) data, Factive Presupposition (1) data, Non-Factive
Presupposition (3) data, Lexical Presupposition (6) data, Structural Presupposition
(3) data, and Counter Factual Presupposition (7) data. Then the Counter Factual
Presupposition is the most-used type of presupposition. On the other hand, Factive
Presupposition is the least-used type of presupposition found in the conversations
between the characters in Conjuring 2 movie. The implied meanings in the
conversation are gained by analyzing the context because in pragmatic study,
context is essential to figure out the implied meaning.
