Abstract

The research analyses presupposition and entailment used in cartoon television series. The research uses qualitative method, using text analysis and observation on the three episodes of The Amazing World of Gumball. Data were taken from dialogs among the characters, identifying the use of the types of presupposition and entailment. Analysis was conducted on the types to find out the functions. The result showed that the three cartoon episodes have all the types of presupposition and types of entailment with various functions. Dominant function is creating the sense of humour and gain sympathy and compassion.
