1.1 Background
Speech verbs are a universal (general) concept. Every language in the world has
speech verbs and the difference between languages is in the forms of speech.
The Batak Toba language has a rich vocabulary, including spoken verb
vocabulary. Some examples of speech verbs in the Toba Batak language are
mangido ‘ask’, marrimas ‘curse’, marpadan ‘promise’, mangholso ‘complain’,
manggonghon ‘invite’, manuru ‘ask’, mampaboa ‘tell’. From the verb verbs
there are several verbs that are synonymous with having different semantic
characteristics.
The manuru verb is characterized by modesty, while mamparentah
characterized by authority.
For example, the verb manuru is used in situations where a mother tells her
child to buy a notebook. Meanwhile, the example of mamparenta it is used in
situations where commanders command, and not in order their members. Both
verbs are verbs that have the same illocutionary purpose, but in distinguishing
the meaning of the sentence are not accepted in the same sentence.
