Abstract

Mother–daughter conflict has been widely discussed in family and communication studies, but linguistic analyses that explain how such conflict is constructed through language remain limited. This study aims to investigate how interpersonal conflict between mothers and daughters is constructed in two animated films, Brave (2012) and Turning Red (2022). A qualitative approach is used to explore how power relations, and emotional evaluations shape the intensity and escalation of conflict through a multi-layered linguistic analysis. Data were collected from purposively selected film scenes involving interpersonal conflict, including disagreement, interference, and negative emotion. The data were examined through content analysis, drawing on Systemic Functional Linguistics and the Appraisal theory. The findings show clear contrasts in how each film constructs conflict. In Brave, conflict is largely normative and reflected in the frequent use of prescriptive declaratives and high-value modality. Meanwhile, in Turning Red, conflict is more emotional and marked by repeated imperatives, pressured interrogatives, and strong inclination or prediction modality. Across both films, affect and judgement contribute to the escalation of tension by foregrounding emotional intensity and moral evaluation. Negative propriety in maternal speech and positive tenacity in daughters’ resistance show how authority and autonomy are negotiated within the mediated discourse of these films

Keywords: mother–daughter conflict; interpersonal meaning; mood and modality; appraisal; animated film

ABSTRAK

Konflik ibu-anak perempuan telah dibincangkan secara meluas dalam kajian keluarga dan komunikasi, tetapi analisis linguistik yang menerangkan bagaimana konflik sedemikian dibina melalui bahasa masih terhad. Kajian ini bertujuan untuk menyiasat bagaimana konflik interpersonal antara ibu dan anak perempuan dibina dalam dua filem animasi, Brave (2012) dan Turning Red (2022). Pendekatan kualitatif digunakan untuk meneroka bagaimana hubungan kuasa dan penilaian emosi membentuk intensiti dan peningkatan konflik melalui analisis linguistik berbilang lapisan. Data dikumpulkan daripada babak filem yang dipilih secara sengaja yang melibatkan konflik interpersonal, termasuk perselisihan faham, campur tangan dan emosi negatif. Data diperiksa melalui analisis kandungan dengan mengambil kira Linguistik Fungsional Sistemik dan teori Apraisal. Keputusan menunjukkan perbezaan yang jelas dalam bagaimana setiap filem membina konflik. Dalam Brave, konflik sebahagian besarnya bersifat normatif dan tercermin dalam penggunaan kerap deklaratif preskriptif dan modaliti bernilai tinggi. Sementara itu, dalam Turning Red, konflik lebih emosional dan ditandai dengan imperatif berulang, interogatif tertekan dan modaliti kecenderungan atau ramalan yang kuat. Merentasi kedua-dua filem, afek dan penghakiman menyumbang kepada peningkatan ketegangan dengan mengetengahkan intensiti emosi dan penilaian moral. Kesopanan (propriety) negatif dalam pertuturan ibu dan ketabahan (tenacity) positif dalam penentangan anak perempuan menunjukkan bagaimana autoriti dan autonomi dirundingkan dalam wacana yang dimediasi oleh filem-filem ini.
