C. Operational Definitions
The key term that is used in this study, the writer wants to define. The key terms
is as follows:
1. Speech Act
A speech act is an action carried out with the aim or intention of conveying,
giving information, or conveying his (speaker's) wishes to the listener by
speaking or communicating directly.
2. Illocutionary Act
Acording to Keylli (2012) in his scientific work that Illocutionary acts are words
and actions uttered by the speaker that have a specific purpose. For example, We
are very happy for your presence at this party. This sentence shows how grateful
the listener is.
3. ELT
English language teaching (ELT) is learning English as a second language so it
is necessary to know and understand exactly what the language itself means.
D. Significances of the Research
1. Theoritically
It is anticipated that the findings of this study will provide information,
contribute to the development of speech act theory, which is typically found
in linguistics, particularly pragmatic studies, and serve as a point of reference
for more in-depth studies of the same topic. This has to do with how language
is used to communicate.
2. Practically
Using speech acts and speech act strategies that students can easily
understand is expected to be helpful for teachers in developing
communication skills, particularly during the classroom learning process.
This will make learning English more interesting for students and teachers
alike.
E. Literature Review
1. Pragmatic
Nuramila (2020: 1) Language research cannot only be carried out
internally or on linguistic issues. Language can be examined in terms of the
symptoms of its use in society. Learning a language is not only learning about
knowledge of the language, but more than that how the language can be used
according to context. The field of language that analyzes language and its
setting is called pragmatics. Pragmatics is an investigation of the multitude of
connections between language and setting. Pragmatics is essentially the study
of communication through language. Pragmatics is different from semantics
since pragmatics doesn't talk about the construction of language inside but
instead analyzes the outside implications of lingual units. Pragmatics is more
than just studying the structure of language; it also tries to understand the
connection between language and how speakers act.
Leech citated in Nuramila (2020: 8) pragmatics is the study of speech
situations which include speakers and speech partners, aspects related to this
component include: age, social foundation, economy, orientation, level of
training, and commonality level. All of the background information that is
comprehended by both speakers and speech partners together is related to the
context of the speech. Because, basically, speech is realized because it is
motivated by clear aims and objectives, and the purpose of speech is closely
related to the form of a person's speech. The discourse goes about as a type of
activity or movement, and the discourse is a result of verbal demonstrations.
According to experts, pragmatics can be defined as the study of the use
of language in its context. Pragmatic studies focus primarily on two keywords:
the meaning that arises as a result of social interactions that depend on
solidarity or distance between interlocutors.
2. The Theory of Speech Act
Austin developed speech act theory in 1962, which Searle continued in
1969. Speech acts, according to Austin (1962), are acts performed while
speaking. This indicates that when someone speaks, they also carry out an
action. Speech acts, according to Searle (1969), are the fundamental units of
language used to convey meaning and utterances to convey intentions. In
contrast, Yule (1996) asserts that people not only produce utterances or words
but also carry out actions from the utterances they utter through speech acts.
All in all, discourse acts are actions while articulating expressions, offering
expressions, providing orders, clarifying some pressing issues, declining,
lauding, saying thanks to, and so forth. According to Austin (1962), there are
three types of speech acts: locutionary acts, illocutionary acts, and
perlocutionary acts. The literature reviewed in this paper focuses on
illocutionary acts for the purpose of movie analysis.
