| dc.description.abstract | Language is a media to communicate with others. In communication, sometimes misunderstanding is happened between the communicators. It is because the speaker uses the interpretation in his/her utterances. Meanwhile, in making a good communication, it is better if both speaker and hearer understand each other about the topic they being discussed. Furthermore, the theory of Speech Acts proposed by Austin (1962) and developed by John R. Searle (1979) is used to solve this problem.
