ABSTRACT

Since Frozen was on show, it has not only attracted children, but also gained high attention in the research domain. Some scholars have focused on the ideology reflected in Frozen, some have studied the translation of Frozen. With scholars being more and more interested in pragmatics, they started to combine pragmatics with literature. In this thesis, conversations in Frozen will be analyzed in terms of locutionary, illocutionary and perlocutionary acts, broadening the scope of these theories and confirming the usefulness of speech act theory in the study of film text and allowing the public to better understand the moral and essence of Frozen.
