 CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background of Study

Language is very necessary part of our lives as a human. Language such the way we
share, interact between two people or more, or we always called as communication. And
communication is needed to keeping relationship between speaker and listener when they
have interaction. Wardaugh (1992:1) said that, a language is what the member of a particular
member speak with other. Language is a media to communicate with each other, can be used
fot studying sorce and getting information. As human, we have ability in producing and
improving language, so we can express an idea. The speaker says something which contain
speaker’s intention that the listener understand, so the could interpret what is the meaning of
speaker’s utterance.
People in this world spend most part of their time or lives in conversation like Adam
Smith (1723-1790) said that, “Homo Homini Socius” means human will have a relationship
with other humans. That is the way of speaker to express what they want or what will they
convey to the listeners. Mey (1993:192) states that conversation happens when people use
language together. It means that conversation happen when the participants consists of more
than one person. They do conversation in order to communicate each other everyday.

In speech (oration), communication between the speaker and listener also regarded
as the important element to perform or declare an effective way to share our opinion and vice
versa. According to Rhetorica Ad Herennium (c. 90 BC) the introduction is the beginning of
the discourse, and by it the listeners mind is prepared for attention. The narration or statement
of facts sets forth the events that have occurred or night have occurred. By means of the
division we make clear what matters are agreed upon and what are contested, and more
announce what points we intend to take up. Proof is the presentation of it arguments, together
with it corroboration. Reputation is the destruction of it adversaries’ arguments. The
conclusion is the end of the discourse, formed in accordance with the principle of art.

Such acts of speech in communication are further called speech acts, which are
defined as the acts of speech of the speaker in the relationship to the hearers. It is not only
the matter of the words which are uttered by the speaker, but it also relates to the speaker’s
4
intentions to the hearers (Bach, 1994:1).

The speaker must be aware the situation when they are speaking. It means to avoid
misunderstanding between the speakers and hearers. The act of the utterance is called by
speech act. Action via utterance are generally called speech act (Yule,1996:47). By doing
speech act, speakers tries to make their statements will be easier to understand & avoid
miscommunication with the listeners.

In speech, concept of speech act is taken from pragmatics. Speech acts are the basis
for the analysis of pragmatic topics such as conversational implicative, presuppositions,
principles of politeness, and others.

Searl, in (yule 1967:4) stated that, there are five types of general functions performed
by speech acts, one of them is directive. Directive speech act is one of the types of speech
acts that the speaker intended hearer to act in accordance with what is intended in speech.
And some kind of this speech act such as requesting, questioning, ordering, etc. therefore,
Searle classifies five types of general function performed by speech act, they are assertives,
directives, commisives, expressives, & declaratives. (Mey,1992:163-168, adapted from
Searle, 1997)

In speech, directive Speech act has aim at making the listeners to do or accomplish
something. In performing an utterance, orator must understand the circumstances situation
that which will influence the listeners’ understanding of the utterance. Orator have to be
aware in what way they should deliver the utterance in order to make the listeners’
understand the aim, do compliance of the utterance, & to avoiding misunderstanding. The
strategy in delivering the directive also influences the compliance or non-compliance done
by the listeners’. It relates to the status between the orator and the listeners’, direct or indirect
way in delivering the utterance, and the context when the utterance is performed. Verbal or
non-verbal strategies can be done to make such kind of directive or to do the compliance of
the utterance. The verbal strategy means that the speaker utters direct or indirect speech acts,
explicit or implicit, and in high or low intonation, while the non-verbal strategies can be
showed by the body movement, facial expression, eyes gaze, or gesture

5
such as nodding the head to agree. Those strategies are used to give the force of the degree
of strength of their directives speech acts.

1.2 Scope of The Study

This study focuses on analyzing of directive speech acts in Greta Thunberg’s

speech on The 1975’s lead single in Notes On A Conditional Form album.

1.3 Statement of The Problem

Based on the background above, I would like to identify the problem as follow:
1. The type of directive speech act that used by English teacher in Greta
Thunberg’s speech on the 1975’s lead single in Notes Of A Conditional
Form.

1.4 Objective of The Problem

Based on the problem statement above, this research have the objective
involve the following:

1. To know the types of directive speech that are used in in Greta

Thunberg’s speech on the 1975’s lead single in Notes Of A Conditional
Form.

1.5 Significant of Study

This study is expected to give valuable constribution theoretically and practically.

Theoritically, the result of this research is expected to contribute on the development of
pragmatic study, especially on how to analyze spoken using the speech act theory.
Practically, the result of this research is expected to be useful for English teacher, English
Student, future researcher and general reader. Their knowledge about pragmatic
especially the directive speech acts in order to make them communicate in a good way.

6
1.6 Definition of The Key Terms

1.6.1 An Analysis is a systematic examination and evaluation of data or information, by

breaking it into its component parts to uncover their interrelationship.

1.6.2 Directive, like Aubrey Warren, Australia’s Situational Leadership stated in her
article that, directive communication is an essential part of our in fluencing armory,
helping us equip and develop those we are working with so we can create positive results,
improved performance and increase confidence.

1.6.3 Speech Acts, according to Austin (1962) is the action performed in saying
something.

1.6.4 Greta Thunberg, Greta Tintin Eleonora Ernman Thunberg FRSGS, born on 3rd
January in 2003 is a Swedish environtmental activist, orator, on climate change whose
campaigning has gained international recognition.

1.6.5 The 1975, are an English pop-rock band originally formed in 2002 in Wilmslow,
Cheshire. Now based in Manchester, the band consist of lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist
Matthew Healy, Lead guitarist Adam Hann, Bassist Ross MacDonald, and drummer George
Daniel.

1.6.6 Notes On A Conditional Form, is the upcoming fourth studio album by English band
The 1975, scheduled for release on February 21st, 2020 through Dirty Hit and Polydor
Records. The album, follows their third album A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships
(2018) and is the second of two albums from their third release cycle, “Music For Cars”

1.7 Research Methodology

1.7.1 Method of Research

The Type of this research is descriptive qualitative approach. Ashley Crossman

(2019) has stated in her article that, Qualitative research has a long history in sociology and
has been used within it for as long as the field has existed. Qualitative research has long
appealed to social scientist because it allows the researches to investigate the meanings
people attribute to their behavior, actions, and interactions with others.

7
 In addition, this research uses of qualitative method and the data is analyzed
description. It is the description about analysis of research subject directive speech acts
utterances. Furthermore, descriptive qualitative research, a method that use for analyze one
phenomenon in scope. Descriptive qualitative research is a method that represent and
announce the research in scope”

the point is, descriptive qualitative research is used to describe phenomenon being
studied. It used to describe the situation is usually some kind of categorical scheme also
known as descriptive categories.

1.7.2 Source Data

This research concern directive speech act used in Greta Thunberg’s speech in The
1975’s lead single on Notes Of A Conditional Form. Therefore, the source of this data
research is the speeches that Greta Thunberg speak in the 1975’s lead single.

Instead, the 1975 decided to focus on the climate change problem and ecological
crisis. Notes On A Conditional Form’s “The 1975” features a spoken word from 16-year-
old climate activist Greta Thunberg as meeting her, according to Matty Healy, was “such an
inspiration.” . “The 1975” is the second lyrical song by The 1975 that does not feature Matty
Healy’s voice. The first one, “The Man Who Married a Robot/Love Theme” from their third
studio album, A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationship shared the same style: an
instrumental background with a spoken word by Siri.

1.7.3 The Instrument of the Research

Documentation is the instrument of this research. Used the record as the resource of
the data and me as the researcher as main research instrument through listening and
collecting the text of the speech and make it as data by using theory of J.L Austin and Jhon
Searle concerning context and directive speech act within the dialogue.

Documentation is the best way to analyze the data because the documentation has
several categories that can help analyzing the data such as, recording, script, and so on
8
1.7.4 Technique of Collecting Data

To collect the data as the instrument of the research, me as the researcher was
collected the text of speech of Greta Thunberg in The 1975’s song “The 1975”. First thing
first, take a listen to “The 1975” song. Secondly, the researcher read the speech text along
the song goes on. Thirdly, identified directive speech act in the speech. Finally, collected
the data and analyze it.

1.7.5 Data Analysis Technique

The data are analyzed by using descriptive qualitative methods, descriptive method
is applied in this research in which all the facts that are related to the object of the analysis
in this research will described. Descriptive method is a procedure or manner in solving the
problem of an analysis by explaining objects. Which is being investigated towards the
factual facts. In this research, applied some procedures or steps. The procedures of the
analysis technique of this research used the procedure by Mile and Huberman (1994;429).

 CHAPTER II
THEORITICAL FRAMEWORK

2.1. Pragmatics

Linguistic is study of language. It is important to be studied by people to know the

meaning of the utterances, because not of all speakers use the literal meaning when they
speak. In linguistic, there are many kinds of study, the are sociolinguistic, semantics and
pragmatics, etc. According to Mey (1989:35) pragmatic is interested in the process of
producing language and in its producers, not just in the end product, language. So, it has
the meaning that utterance not only a message but about the sign and interpretation. Mey
(2001:35) said that, pragmatic is the science of language in as much as that science focuses
on the language using human; this distinguishes pragmatics from the classical linguistic
disciplines, which first and foremost concentrate on the result of the language users
activity.

Yule (1996:3) said pragmatics is study of speaker meaning as communicated by a

speaker (or writer) and interpreted by a listener (or reader). In this study, listeners or
readers have comprehension to interpret the meaning of utterances. Besides that, Yule
also gives the other meaning of pragmatic. He says that pragmatics is the study of the
relationship between linguistics forms and the users of those forms (1996:4).

According to Yule (1996:4) the advantage of studying language via pragmatics is

that simple word has indicate about people‟s intended meanings, their assumptions, their
purposes or goals, and the kinds of actions (for example, request) that they are performing
when they speak.

Beside that, learning language via pragmatics approach leads to know the nature
of the language. It leads to a deep analysis of what messages that is brought in an utterance
said by a speaker. It gives the advantages that one can talk about people’s intended
meanings, their assumptions, their purposes or goals, and the kinds of actions performed
in utterances.

10
2.2 Aspect Of The Speech Situation
Pragmatics for the purposes of linguistics is the study of meaning in relation to speech
situations, reference to one or more of the following aspects of the speech situation will
be a criterion, said Leech (1983: 13-15).

2.2.1 Addressers or addressee

Addressers and addressee refer to speaker(s) and listener(s). To make a significant
distinction between an addresser and addressee, the terms can be changed into a receiver
and an addressee since the use of the abbreviations of ‘s’ and ‘h’ doesn’t restrict
pragmatics to the spoken language. A receiver is a person who receives and interprets the
message while an addressee is a person who is an intended receiver of the message. The
use of the symbol ‘h’, however, will always signify one or more addressees, or person to
whom the utterance is addressed by ‘s’.

2.2.2 The Context Of An Utterance

In pragmatic view, context is considered as any background knowledge assumed
to ve shared by ‘s’ and ‘h’ and which constribute to ‘h’ , ‘h’ interpretation of what ‘s’
means by a given utterances.

2.2.3 The goal(s) of an Utterance

Goal or purpose of an utterance is the intended meaning or speaker’s intention in
uttering something.

2.2.4 The Utterance as a form act or activity: a speech act

Different from the other branches of linguistic which deal with abstract static
entities such as sentences and propositions, pragmatics deals with verbal deals with verbal
acts or performances which take place in particular situation and time. In this respect,
pragmatics deals with language at a more concrete level than grammar.

2.2.5 The Utterance as a Product of a Verbal Act

Utterance can be used in different sense in pragmatics. It can refer to the product
of a verbal act rather than to the verbal act itself. An utterance may be a sentenfe-instance,
or sentence-token, but it can’t be a sentence. An utterance is a piece of language which is
11
either too short or too long to be classified as a single sentence whose meaning is studied
in pragmatics.

2.3 Definition of Speech Act

Generally, speech acts can be defined as the acts of communication. Certain
utterance produced by the speaker contains specific act, such as an act of promising,
apologizing, or commanding. In the communication, the speaker expresses certain attitude
that has the relation with the performance of a particular type of speech acts. The success
of speech acts in its rule as the act of communication occurred when the audience or the
hearer is able to identify the expression of the speaker’s attitude when he/she intends to
communicate something. In short, speech acts succeed if the hearer comprehends the
speaker’s intention in communication by means of his/her acts performances. However,
it is also possible that the function of speech acts is to affect some institutional states of
affairs which demand certain circumstances and positions such as the judge’s utterances
used in the court. Further it is called the felicity condition, i.e. the requirements needed
in performing.

certain act of speech. The first is that there is a specific person that acts certain
utterances, and the second that these utterances have to be spoken in specific context
(Yule, 1996: 50).

2.4 Kind of Speech Act

2.4.1 Locutionary, illocutionary, perlocutionary
Austin (1962: 109) conveys the distinction of speech acts into three types, they are
locutionary acts or locution, illocutionary acts or illocution, and the last is perlocutionary
acts or perlocution. He defines those three kinds of acts as followed:

1. Locutionary acts
Locutionary acts are the production of utterance, with a particular intended
structure, meaning and reference. In other words, locutionary acts deal with
linguistic meaning or grammatical form of an utterance. This kind of speech acts
is also called as the act of saying something according to Wijana (1996:17)

12
 2. Illocutionary acts
Illocutionary acts are acts performed by speakers in saying something, rather than by virtue
of having produced a particular effect by saying something. This type of speech acts is also
called as the act of doing something according to Wijana (1996:18). The purpose of
expression and the speaker’s specific purpose are called locutionary force or locutionary
function.

3. Perlocutionary acts
Perlocutionary acts are speech acts which depend on the production od a specific
effect. This effects is produced by the listener. This type of speech acts is also called
as the act of affecting someone according to Wijana (1996:19). In perlocutionary,
there’s an influence affect because the speajker tries to influence the listener to do
what he or she wants to do. This is called by as perlocutionary effect.

2.4.2 Declarations, Representatives, Expressive, Directives, and Commissive

There is a brief explanation of the types of speech acts based on its function or its
uses by George Yule in his book entitled “Pragmatics”. Those are declarations,
representatives, expressives, directives, and commissives. This classification is the
proposition introduce by Searle as what explained by Levinson (1983:239).

Declarations are used to announce something clearly and have direct change to the
world through certain utterances (Yule, 1996:53) and it especially used officially in the
institutional state of affairs. For instance, “You’re fired!” said by the Chief Executive
Officer to his employer. “I name this ship Titanic”, as uttered in the official
announcement. It is shown that to perform such declarations, there are two requirements
to be fulfilled; the speaker has to have institutional role and the utterances declared in
specific context. Furthermore, the concepts of declarations were proposed by Austin
(1962: 5) in his investigation of performatives.

Representatives are the type of speech acts that commit the speaker in believing
something to be the truth. In the other words, the speaker states certain utterances the he
or she believed as a truth. These nomenclatures are closed to the term of expositives or
expositional performatives proposed by Austin (1962: 85). The acts of asserting,
concluding, describing, and stating a fact are those kinds of representatives. For example,
13
“The moon is round”, or “Today is a sunny day” are the statements that believed by the
speaker as truth.

The next functions are expressive, which is stated by Yule (1996:53) as the
psychological expressions regarding to the speaker’s feeling. Those are including the
expression of thanking, congratulating, apologizing, and welcoming. In short, these are
the expression of pain, pleasure, like, dislike, and sorrow. The instance statements for this
type are such as “Congratulations”, “Thank you so much”, and “I really sorry”. These
terms expressive ‟ are the same concepts of Austin‟s behabitives‟ (Austin, 1962: 83).

Directives, these are the expressions in order to direct the hearer or the addressee to
do something, it includes suggesting, commanding, or order something. When we say to
someone, “Please take me a blanket”, it is included to this type of speech acts. In the other
words, directives utterances used to express what the speaker wants to do by the hearer
(Yule, 1996:54).

The last type of speech acts proposed by Searle is called commissive. These are used
by the speakers to commit themselves to some future action such as promising,
threatening, refusing, and pledging. The instance sentences of this type are such as “I
promise to be there tomorrow”, and “We will come to your house next week!‟ (Yule,
1996:54).

2.5 Directive Speech Act

Directive speech act contain a verb, an object and a requested task performed by the
speaker and the listeners. Directive speech acts is an utterance of the speaker to make the
listener do something for the speaker.

2.6 Types of Directive Speech Act

The directive speech acts are divided into 20 sub-categories:
1. Advising 5. Challenging
2. Admonishing 6. Daring
3. Asking 7. Demanding
4. Begging 8. Dismissing
14
 9. Excusing 15. Recommending
10. Forbidding 16. Requesting
11. Instructing 17. Requiring
12. Inviting 18. Suggesting
13. Ordering 19. Urging
14. Permitting 20. warning

2.7 GRETA THUNBERG’S SPEECH IN THE THE 1975’S NEW LEAD SINGLE
This is the text of Greta Thunberg’s speech in The 1975 lead single “The 1975”.

“We are right now in the beginning of a climate and ecological crisis, and we need to
call it what it is: an emergency. We must acknowledge that we do not have the situation
under control, and that we don't have all the solutions yet; unless those solutions mean
that we simply stop doing certain things. We must admit that we are losing this battle.
We have to acknowledge that the older generations have failed. All political movements
in their present form have failed, but Homo sapiens have not yet failed. Yes, we are
failing, but there is still time to turn everything around. We can still fix this. We still
have everything in our own hands, but unless we recognize the overall failures of our
current systems, we most probably don't stand a chance”

“We  are facing a disaster of unspoken sufferings for enormous amounts of people, and
now is not the time for speaking politely or focusing on what we can or cannot say. Now
is the time to speak clearly. Solving the climate crisis is the greatest and most complex
challenge that Homo sapiens have ever faced. The main solution, however, is so simple
that even a small child can understand it: we have to stop our emissions of greenhouse
gases, and either we do that, or we don't. You say that nothing in life is black or white,
but that is a lie, a very dangerous lie. Either we prevent a 1.5 degree of warming, or we
don't; either we avoid setting off that irreversible chain reaction beyond human control,
or we don't; either we choose to go on as a civilization, or we don't. That is as black or
white as it gets because there are no grey areas when it comes to survival.”

“Now  we all have a choice: we can create transformational action that will safeguard
the living conditions for future generations, or we can continue with our business as
15
usual and fail. That is up to you and me. And yes, we need a system change rather than
individual change, but you cannot have one without the other. If you look through
history, all the big changes in society have been started by people at the grassroots
level—people like you and me. So, I ask you to please wake up and make the changes
required possible. To do your best is no longer good enough. We must all do the
seemingly impossible. Today, we use about 100 million barrels of oil every single day.
There are no politics to change that; there are no rules to keep that oil in the ground.
So, we can no longer save the world by playing by the rules, because the rules have to
be changed. Everything needs to change, and it has to start today. So, everyone out
there, it is now time for civil disobedience. It is time to rebel”

2.8 Relevant Research

2.8.1 A thesis from Rozaqu Fathoni in State Islamic Institute of Surakarta, called “A
Descriptive Analysis of Directive Speech Act Used By English Teacher At SMA
Negeri Kerjo In Academic Year 2016/2017” This thesis is about analyzing,
observing directive speech act that used by English teacher to their students. Based
on the result of this thesis, the researcher (Rozaqu Fathoni) suggests that English
teachers should be more look carefully in use of directive speech acts in English
teaching. Directive speech acts are very important in teaching learning process
that the instructions uttered by the teacher should understood by the students. The
appropriate use of directive speech acts in classroom teaching learning process
will indirectly help the students to comprehend the learning competences.
2.8.2 A thesis from Ita Watiningsih in Sebelas Maret University, called “An Analysis
of Directive Speech in Olive Twist Movie (2005)” The analysis also shows the
reason why the characters exploit directive speech acts in certain situations. They
are to show that the speaker intends to take care of the hearer, to respect the hearer,
to show anger expression, to show the hearer’s duty, to show the emergency, to
seek agreement, and to find the reasons for uttering certain expression. Based on
the findings, students are expected to explore other types of directives, such as
prohibition and requirement. Moreover, they are expected to use other
classifications of speech acts such as, representatives, commissives, expressives,
or declarations in the movie “Oliver Twist.” The researcher (Ita Watiningsih) also
suggests that other researchers take other media besides film such as novel and
16
 television series.
