COGNITIVE REPRESENTATION OF FAMILY CONFLICT IN THE MOVIE IPAR ADALAH MAUT: AN ANALYSIS USING A COGNITIVE LINGUISTIC APPROACH

Mohammad Amin

Abstract


The movie Ipar Adalah Maut highlights the complexity of family relationships that are full of conflict and emotional dynamics. This study aims to analyze how conflict, infidelity, and betrayal are represented cognitively through language, dialogue, and visuals in this film. The main theoretical framework is the cognitive linguistic approach, particularly conceptual metaphor theory by Lakoff and Johnson (1980), image schema, and mental space theory. This study found that family conflicts in the movie are represented through metaphors such as "family as a battlefield," "infidelity as a disease," and "betrayal as a wound." In addition, image schema and the integration of mental space help reveal the thought patterns underlying the characters' dynamics. This study provides new insights into how language and cognition reflect social values and the complexity of Indonesian culture's family relations.
