Abstract
This research focuses on analyzing the type of presupposition used by the main characters in Kenneth Branagh's movie Cinderella and describing its application in teaching reading. The data of this research is the dialogue of the main characters in the movie. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach to analyze the data. The data is analyzed by identifying each utterance of the main characters in the movie, then classifying it according to Yule's theory (1996). The categories consist of existential, factual, non-factual, lexical, structural, and counter-factual presupposition. The researcher then describes the application of the result to teaching reading.
The results show that there are 103 of presupposition used by the main characters in Kenneth Branagh's movie Cinderella. Existential presupposition is the most dominant type of presupposition, with 58 (56%) utterances. For the others, there are 3 (3%) utterances belong to factive presupposition, 5 (5%) utterances belong to non-factive presupposition, 5 (5%) utterances belong to lexical presupposition, 27 (26%) utterances belong to structural presupposition, and 5 (5%) utterances belong to counter-factual presupposition. Additionally, the results of this study can be applied in teaching reading narrative text in the tenth-grade students of senior high school.
