AN ANALYSIS OF DIRECTIVE ILLOCUTIONARY ACTS IN THE DIVERGENT MOVIE 2014 BY DOUGLAS WICK AND LUCY FISHER
Abstract
This thesis is aimed at describing forms and meanings of
utterances based on Vanderveken’s theory by using descriptive method.
Yule (1996 : 54) said that “directives are those kinds of speech act that
speaker use to get someone else to do something. They express what the
speaker wants. They are commands, orders, request, suggestion”.In
collecting the data, the researcher follows three stages. Those are data
selection, data collection, and data classification. The selection stage was
done by searching the movie script as the data source, the data collection
covers collecting the data from utterance in the movie script, and the data
classification includes gathering utterances which contain Directive
Illocutionary Act. In analyzing the data, researcher follows several stages.
They are: founding categorizing, describing, and qualifying the
utterances found in the data.From all of the utterances, there are seven
types of Directive Illocutionary Acts found in utterances, those are:
Asking, Commanding, Requesting, Suggesting, and Begging. From those
forms of Directive Illocutionary Act, Suggesting has the highest
frequency of use among others, that is twelve times, the Begging has the
lowest frequency of use among others, that is one times.To describe the
meaning of the analysis the researcher used six component of
Vanderveken and the meaning of the utterances is mostly suggesting.
Based on the meanings of the Illocutionary Act in utterances, most of the
point of Illocution is that the speaker ask to the hearer to do something;
most of the mode of achievement is that the hearer can give the answer or
explanation from the speaker question or command; the propositional
content of the utterances is mostly showing that the speaker ask to the
hearer to answer or to doing what the speaker want; most of the
preparatory condition of the utterances is that the speaker believes that
the hearer can achieve what the speaker wants; most of the sincerity of
condition of the utterances is that the speaker really hopes to the hearer
to conduct his will; and the degree of strength of the utterances is mostly
showing that the speaker seriousness to get respond from the hearer.
