Abstract

This research contains a little observation into address terms received by Queen Elizabeth in animated series entitled The Prince. It aims to find out the types and social factors regarding the use of address terms. The method of this research is descriptive-qualitative method. The researcher employs content analysis to analyze certain phenomena in language use. The data were taken from the subtitles of the animated series. Based on the theory by Wardhaugh, address terms are categorized into seven types and classified into nine social factors. The results show that the most frequently used address terms were kinship terms with 37 (49%) occurrences. However, Queen Elizabeth in this animated series never received first name, title plus last name, and last name as address terms. Addressing the queen in the series was mainly influenced by the gender of the addressee, familial ties, and the degree of intimacy between the addressers and the addressee. On the other hand, the address terms were never influenced by factors such as race, transactional status, occupational hierarchy, and age. The findings suggest that Queen Elizabeth received address terms that were mostly gender-specific and intimate. The majority of address terms that Queen Elizabeth received in this series came from her family members with the tendency to be informal, while a few of the address terms were uttered by the servants and other characters who speak to the queen formally. Keywords: sociolinguistics, address terms, animated series
