The Illocutionary Acts Found in Pearl Movie
Keywords:
function, illocutionary acts, social goalsAbstract
Every utterance speakers convey often has specific intentions and purposes in daily conversation. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the speaker’s intention. This research is concerned with the classification of illocutionary acts and their functions that are relevant to social goals. The qualitative-descriptive method was used to analyze the data. The data in this research are the dialogues of each character taken from the movie entitled Pearl. In collecting the data, this research used observation and note-taking methods. The types of illocutionary acts were identified based on Yule’s theory, while the function of each type of illocutionary acts was identified using Leech’s theory. The analysis shows that all five types of illocutionary acts: declaration, representative, directive, expressive, and commissive are found in the movie Pearl. However, each type of illocutionary act has a different function depending on the context of the conversation and the goal that the speaker wants to achieve. In addition, the result of the analysis also shows all five types of illocutionary acts have a conflictive function. This condition is caused by the speaker’s goal contradicting social goals such as accusing, threatening, or urging.
