PRELIMINARY

A. Problem Background

Speech act is everything which we do at the time of conversing or

set of verbal discussion. Speech acts are not descriptive, instead
they are pronounced to affect an actual situation. Speech acts usually do not
refer to the past events. Speech act is the action performed by language to
modify the state of the object on which the action performed. Speech act
analysis can be applied in linguistics and literary works like poems, short
stories, novels, movie and song. The dialogues in the literature can be
analyzed by speech act, because we know that the main point of speech acts is the
utterance or conversation. From this reason this research tries to find out some
of speech acts analysis in a movie. In the movie of course it will be found in the
conversation.1
Speech can be classified into direct and indirect speech. Direct speech
will happen if there is direct relationship between the structure and the
function of the utterance. Meanwhile, indirect speech will happen if
there is indirect relationship between the structure and the function of the
utterance. Relationship between the structure and the function of the
utterances. For example,when someone says “it’s cold outside”, the direct
speech of this utterance is to inform the hearer about the real conditions
outside, but the indirect speech of this utterance is to request or to
give command to close the door, so the cold will not affect the speaker.2

CONTENT

A. Meaning Of Direct and Indirect Speech

Direct speech (also called quoted speech) states the exact words of a
speaker. In direct speech, we repeat the original speaker‟s
exact words. In direct speech, quotation marks enclose the quotation. The
reporting verb, such as said, told, or responded, is followed by comma if it
introduces the quotation. Quotation marks come after a final period, question
mark, or exclamation point. While, indirect speech (also called reported speech)
reports the words of a speaker but not all of the speakers‟ exact words. According
to Swan, “indirect speech was speakers‟ words or thoughts part of their own
sentence, using conjunctions (e.g. that), and changing pronouns, tenses and other
words where necessary. In indirect speech we give the exact meaning of a remark
or a speech, without necessarily using the speaker‟s exact words.3
