MTV Intro
Landing on number 5, This is Me by Kaela
Settle.
The lyrics of the song relates to the first
classification of illocutionary act- Assertive
Assertive is a type of illocutionary act in
which the speaker expresses belief
about the truth of a proposition. Some
examples of an assertive act are
suggesting, putting forward, swearing,
boasting and concluding.
At number 4, Please by Jeremy Zucker and
Chelsea Cutler
The lyrics “Please don’t leave me here” is an
example of the second classification of
illocutionary act- Directive
Directive – a type of illocutionary act in which
the speaker tries to make the
addressee perform an action. Some
examples of a directive act are asking,
ordering, requesting, inviting, advising, and

At number 3, Promise by Lukas Graham
Do you keep your promises? Well, in this
song at first, the guy asks for assurance from
the woman to have him back and in return,
he promises to be his best.
This is an example of the third classification
of illocutionary act- commissive
Commissive – a type of illocutionary act
which commits the speaker to doing
something in the future. Examples of a
commissive act are promising,
planning, vowing, and betting.
Moving on to number 2, The Apology Song:
The Book of Life Soundtrack by Diego Luna
Diego deeply expressed his apology to Toro
with the lyrics, I offer an apology. Toro, I am
sorry. This is an example of the fourth
classification of illocutionary act- expressive
Expressive – a type of illocutionary act in
which the speaker expresses
his/her feelings or emotional reactions. Some
examples of an expressive act
are thanking, apologizing, welcoming and
deploring.
“The Apology
And at number 1, declaring the war against
evil, “This is War” by Thirty Seconds to Mars
This is a very strong declaration. However,
this does not literally declare physical war,
but war against the dark, against lies and
sins, and against evil.
Declaration– a type of illocutionary act which
 brings a change in the external
situation. Simply put, declarations bring into

existence or cause the state of
affairs which they refer to. Some examples of
declarations are blessing, firing,

Let’s have a short quiz. I’ll be showing you
clips with movie dialogues. To which
classification of illocutionary act does each of
this dialogue belong to?
Here are the possible answers:
 The first one is a pronouncement, so, it
is a declaration.
 The second video clip is threatening and
is directive.
 The third one is threatening again, so,
directive, but if you consider the voice, it
is also directive.
 The fourth one is explaining something,
so I consider this as directive.
 The fifth video clip shows a man in an
emotional state expressing his pain and
apology. It is expressive.
Now that we know the classification of
illocutionary act, or the intention of the
speaker, we can now respond appropriately
and effectively.
In this activity, we will go back to the movie
dialogues that were shown.
Suppose you are in the same situation with
the character, how will you respond to the
utterance/ statement?
Take note that your reaction must show
logical connection to the utterance you must
be responding to.
Here are the criteria for evaluating your
answer.
