Abstract

The writer undertakes a detailed analysis of prepositional phrases in the dialogue of Tim Burton's animated film "Corpse Bride" (2005). The story revolves around Victor Van Dort, a well-off young man set to marry Victoria Everglot, the daughter of a nobleman from a once-prominent family. While rehearsing his wedding vows in the forest, Victor inadvertently binds himself to Emily, a female corpse who has long been awaiting marriage. Through this analysis, the writer identifies eighteen instances of prepositional phrases within the film's dialogue. Utilizing syntactic analysis informed by Francis Katamba's "Modern Linguistics Morphology" (1st edition), the study explores the various prepositional phrases found in the dialogue, examining their roles and effects on character development and the narrative as a whole. The analysis categorizes these prepositional phrases into five distinct groups: those functioning as locatives, directionals, temporals, intrumentals, and modals.
