| dc.description.abstract | This research used utterance spoken by the characters in Cinderella (2015)
movie as the resource of data. The data are in the form of utterance uttered by the
characters in the movie. The data are chosen by following the story line of the movie.
After that, the data are analyzed using the theory of speech act proposed by Austin.
Here are the steps of collecting and analyzing the data of the research:
1. Finding the utterances that provide speech act.
2. Choosing the utterances that represent the story line of the movie. (It is
because the number of the utterances that provide speech act is too
many)
3. Analyzing the data by using the classification of illocutionary act, directindirect
speech act, and the felicity conditions.
It is found in this research that a speaker tends to have expositive illocutionary
act rather than the other four while uttering messages. There are 10 utterances that
belong to expositive illocution. Expositives are used to clarify reasons, argument, or
communication (Oishi, 2006). Austin also agreed that expositive is the type of
illocutionary act used by people in daily life at most. Besides, it is also found that the
speakers tend to deliver meaning indirectly rather than directly. There are 16 utterances
that are indirect speech act. However, it could not be declared that indirect is better than
direct speech act, or another, because it depends on the context and appropriate
circumstance.
From the research findings, there are some utterance that can be taught to the
second level students of Junior High School. The topic is the expression to forbid, to
order, and to ask permission. An English teacher-to-be should be able to give
explanation what discourse is suitable for certain situation and when people should use
direct or indirect speech act in order to succeed the conversation. | en_US |
