Background of the Study
The major thing that distinguishes human being from other creatures is basically the way people communicate with others by using language. Hornby (2005) said that woman is an adult female human with female sex. Observation of the function of woman language features is a crucial thing in woman life. We are as the social creatures need to interact with each other. We need a language to express our feeling, thought, and ideas. Language is a human product which is used to share our ideas, thought and feeling. There will be different features and functions of language based on the writer or speaker and reader or hearer.

Moreover, the language especially the speech is different in form and address term, depending on the user. It is found that male and female often use different linguistic forms and address terms in speaking English even in the same speech community. The women language itself often talks around the issue about gender. According to Lakoff (1975) women's language is the "language of powerless"; a reflection of their subordinate place in relation to men. She identifies several language features which are considered unique to the speech of women as opposed to that of men. She also explains a constitutive relationship between women and the language she describes: women are systematically taught to speak with specific language features, and those language features are associated with a lack of power. In this globalization era, the use women's language features can be found in the movie. Movie is one of great literatures.
