ABSTRACT
Donatus Haryo Krisnugraha. 2013002145. An Analysis of Expressive

Speech Acts found in Moana Movie. A Bachelor’s Thesis: English language
Education Department. Universitas Sarjanawiyata Tamansiswa Yogyakarta, 2020.
This research was meant to analyze the expressive speech acts in utterances
used by the characters in Moana movie. The objectives of this research are to
describe types of expressive speech acts used by the characters, to identify the most
dominant type of expressive speech acts, and to explain functions of expressive
speech acts.
This research used discourse analysis as the research method. The data were
collected from the utterances of the characters, by (1) downloading the movie, (2)
watching the movie, (3) reading the transcript, (4) note taking and sorting. The
researcher used Searle and Austin’s theories of Expressive Speech Acts to analyze
the data. The analysis was conducted by following the procedure: (1) identifying the
data, (2) coding the data (3) classifying the data, and (4) describing the data.
The study found that ; (1) there are 9 types of expressive speech acts used
by the characters. First, the expressive speech acts of regreting 15 times, expressive
speech acts of expressing joy 13 times, expressive speech acts boasting 6 times,
expressive speech acts of thanking and praising 5 times, expressive speech acts of
lamenting 4 times, expressive speech acts of balming 3 times, expressive speech acts
of apologizing 2 times and expressive speech acts of forgiving 1 times. (2) The most
dominant of expressive speech acts used by the characters. The expressive speech
acts of regreting gains the highest rank. It occurs 15 times. It means that the
characters often use this type of expressive speech acts in their utterances. (3) All
functions of expressive speech acts used by the characters of Moana movie. In this
case, they use expressing gratitude, expressing liking, expressing regret, expression
of certainty, expression of happines, expression of obligation, expression of sadness,
expression of satification, expressing ability.

CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
This chapter deals with background of the research, ientification of the

problem, formulation of the problem, objective of the research, and the significant
of the research.
A. Background of the Research
In social life, every person uses a language as a way to communication.

Language influences human life as the bridge to have relationship with other
people or society. Sometimes, people are not aware when they use the
language, they make unstructured utterance in communication. But it is not
a problem, because the most important point of using the language is that
their speech could be accepted and make sure that there is no
misunderstanding between the speaker and the hearer when they have
conversation or communication. Yule (1996 :47), in his book, said that in
the effort to expressing and asserting himself, people not only produce
grammatical structure sentences but they also produce or show actions in
that language.
There are many kinds of language study which we used to study the
language. One of them is pragmatics. Pragmatics is the study about
speaker’s meaning. In other word, pragmatics is the study that explains more
about the meaning of the context between the speaker and hearer. According
to Yule (1996 :4), the advantage of studying language via Pragmatics is that
one can talk about people’s intended meanings, their assumptions, their
purposes or goals, and the kinds of action that they are performing when
they speak. In pragmatics, the hearer does not only understand the meaning
of spoken by the speaker, but also understand the context for interpreting an
utterance. Actually, pragmatics has some types of its study, such as dieixis
1
2
and distance, reference and inference, presupposition and entailment,

politeness and interaction, speech act and event, and others. In this thesis,
the writer just focuses on speech act.
Speech act is a part of pragmatics study. According to Searle (1996:
16), speech acts is the basic unit of linguistic communication. It means that
speech acts is the production of what is said within performance of speech
act. It is the way people act through their speech. A speech act is performed
when people make utterances such as apology, greeting, request, complaint,
invitation, compliment, or refusal. The study of speech act is very important
for us. The one importance of studying speech act is to make us comprehend
the message that discovered in every utterance. Speech act is also decided
by the language ability of speaker to convey the message in communication.
Hence, we can understand about the meaning of speech act clearly.
In addition, when we speak to other people in a communication or a
conversation, the speaker does not only speak the source language but the
speaker must interpret the speaker’s meaning to the hearer. And the speaker
can make hearer to understand the meaning of that utterance by what the
speaker said. Speech act just perform in conversation or dialogue which
performed by speaker and hearer in the movie.
A speech act can be studied in communicative event, including in
dialogues of a movie. By learning about it, we can understand about speech
event in utterances which speaker said or message received by the hearer in
the dialogue of the movie. By analyzing the speech events, it is clearly the
other way to study about how to comprehend communication than it is. So,
we can do with words and identifying some of the conventional utterance
forms we use to perform specific actions and we do need to look at move
extended interaction to understand how those actions are carried out and
interpreted within speech event of utterance in dialogue in the movie.
Many people like watching the movie, but not all of them understand
every utterance’s meaning said in dialogue in the movie. Based on
YourDictionary, movie is defined as a motion picture or film produced for
entertainment that tells a story. Sometimes, the plot of story in the movie
can influence in daily people’s life. In the movie, we can found many values
3
for us, such as education values, moral values, attitude values, and other
values from there.
Inside a movie, many linguistic aspects can be learned, including
speech act. The aspects of linguistics are such as pragmatics, semantics,
sociolinguistics and others. This aspect can be learned in the movie. At the
movie, many types of speech acts are performed by characters. Austin
(1962: 109) shows that there are three types of speech acts, they are
locutionary, illocutionary, and perlocutionary. Speech acts also have some
different purposes such as declare, assert, thank, request, plan, etc. Based on
the purpose, speech acts classify into five parts. They are declarative,
representative, expressive, directive, and commissive. In this analysis the
researcher wants to present one of five subchapters of speech acts, that is
expressive speech acts. Expressive speech acts is important to be analyzed
because in daily life, we often make a conversation to let the communication
runs well. In this communication, every speaker tries to convey his/her
feelings, and in conveying feelings we always use expressive sentences.
Expressive speech acts is a kind of speech acts based on psychological states
and relates to the expression of feelings or emotion to the hearer. It means
the speaker expresses feeling towards the hearer, such as apologizing,
complaining, thanking, congratulating someone, etc. It is always used by
people to express their emotions toward something in daily speech that can
also find in conversation in the movie.
This study focuses on analyzing the expressive speech acts used by
Moana in a movie Moana. The study will be conducted by using the theory
of expressive speech acts by Searle and Austin, J. L. Austin (1975) on his
book How to Do Things with Word and developed by John R. Searle. Moana
is one example of a good movie. In this movie, the researcher can find a lot
of expressive speech acts based on the research conducted by the researcher.
In addition, the language used by the main characters in that movie is easily
understood by the listener. This movie is totally different from most movies
in that genre. This is not a comedy, it is l fantasy adventure animated music
adventure . this is no ordinary adventure, moana is an adventure film to
restore a lost stone of life stolen. the adventure of moana was helped by a
4
large body with his weapon named maui.. Therefore, the researcher looks
for and analysis the expressive speech acts and the illocution types from
“Moana” movie. The writer give the title of this researcher is “AN
ANALYSIS OF EXPRESSIVE SPEECH ACTS FOUND IN MOANA
MOVIE.”.
B. Identification of the Problem
Based on the background of the research above, the researcher

identified some problems related to the types of expressive speech acts
found in Moana movie. In communication, media is an important thing to
make a good and successful communication. There are some kinds of media
that can be used to, such as movie, radio, mobile phone, and others. In this
research, movie is chosen as the media. By watching movie, people can find
variety of the language used in society, but sometimes the audience faces
some difficulties in understanding the meaning of the utterance delivered by
the characters. As a good audience, we should understand some factors that
can help the communication runs effectively, such as the participants, the
purpose of the interaction, the context, and social factors. It will cause a
misunderstanding when the one of the factors does not work as well. The
situation may be influenced by the following problem.
1. The first problem is about the use of uncommon vocabularies.
Sometimes, the characters in this movie use several uncommon
words that lead the audience gets confuse. The characters use
teenager vocabularies that related to the theme of this movie which
is told about a characters.
2. The second problem is about the context. Context involves the social
and cultural background that leads some events happened in a
movie. The audience, who has a lack of knowledge about the
background of the movie, will face difficult to interpret the meaning
of the utterances delivered by the characters.
3. The third problem is related to the use of language. They have
definitely different ways of using their utterance and language.
5
4. The fourth problem is related to the forms and functions of the

utterances characters. In this movie. The researcher finds many
functions of expressive speech acts used by the characters in this
movie, such as lamenting, apologizing, praising, and another else.
5. The fifth problem is related to speech acts phenomenon. As a part of
language, speech acts concerns to what people say through the
language. It is not only about producing a meaningful linguistics
expression but also an act of doing something uttered by the speaker
and act that is uttered to affect the listener. When someone speaks,
he or she performs speech acts, such as making statement, giving
command, asking question, making promise, and expressing his or
her feelings.
C. Limitation of the Problem

Based on the problem identification above, the researcher came to
the limitation of the research in order to gain the focus of the study. The
research focused to analyze the types and function of expressive speech acts
found in Moana movie.
The researcher analyse the types and functions of expressive speech
acts found in Moana movie based on the types of expressive speech act
proposed by Searle and Austin. They are apologizing, blaming, boasting,
condoling, deploring, expressing joy, forgiving, lamenting, praising,
regreting and thanking.
D. Formulation of the Problem
Regarding to the identification of the problem above, the researcher

formulates the problems of this research as follows:
1. What kinds of expressive speech act are used by the characters in
Moana movie?
2. What is the most dominant of expressive speect act used by the
characters in Moana movie?
3. What are the function of expressive speech acts used by the
characters in Moana movie?
6
E. Objective of the Study

In line with the problem formulation above, the objectives of the
study are as follows:
1. To describe the kinds expressive speech acts useb by the charcters
in Moana movie.
2. To find out the most dominant expressive speech act used by the
characters in Moana movie.
3. To describe functions of expressive speech acts used by the
characters in Moana movie
F. Signifiance of the Study

1. The Reader
The researcher hopes that this research can develop the reader’s
knowledge about linguistic, especially the knowledge of expressive
speech act.
2. The other researcher
The researcher hopes that this researcher will help the other
researcher whos is interested in the same topic, expressive speech
acts. This can be used as a bibliography resource or the guideline of
writing a research
CHAPTER II
THEORETICAL REVIEW AND CONCEPTUAL
FRAMEWORK
In this chapter, the research describes review of related theories, review

of previous study and conceptual framework. Review of related theories deal
with the theory of language, sociolinguistic, pragmatics, speech acts, expressive
speech acts, language funcions, movie, and the Moana movie.
A. Review of Related Theories
1. Language
Human beings can communocate to each other. We are able to
exchane klnowledge, belief, opnions, wishes, threats, commands, thanks,
promises, declarations, feelings-only our imagination sets limits. We can
laugh to express amusement, happines, or disrespect, we can smile to
express amusement, pleasure, approval, or bitter feelings, we can shriek
to express anger, excitement, or fear, we can clench our fists to express
determination, anger or a threat, we can raise eyebrows to express
surprise or disapproval, and so on, but our system of communication
before anything is language. Language is a tool to convey information,
ideas, concepts or feeling that comes to the heart, in the sense of the word
as a means of conveying something. According to Wibowo (2001:3),
language is a system of symbols that are meaningful and articulate sound
(generated by said tool) that are arbitrary and conventional, which is used
as a means of communication by a group of men to give birtt to feelings
and thoughts. In the study of linguistics, language is defined as a system
of spoken or written symbols that human beings as a means of
communication in the form of sound. There are many languages in the
world, such as English, Indonesian, Portuguese, and others. This
language is based on relationships formed in the absence of advance
planning, and the subsequent development of named and default, also
sometimes formed. Language is a system, which
7
8
means the language formed by the various components of the irregular

and fixed. Chomsky (1957:13) describes that language is a set (finite or
infinite) of sentences, each finite in length, and constructed out of a finite
set of elements
2. Sociolinguistic
Etymologically, the term sociolinguistics is derived from the word
socio and linguistics. In nature, it describes the knowledge of how
language is used in social context. This concept affects many experts
proposing the definitions of sociolinguistics. A simple definition of
sociolinguistics is the study of language and society (Finch, 2003:204).
It means that sociolinguistics has the main concern in the relation
between society and language. Gumperz in Wardhaugh (2006:11) states
that sociolinguistics is an attempt to find a relationship between social
structure and linguistic structure and also to observe the changes that
occur. A social structure shows systematic patterns of behavior between
individual-individual, group-group, and individual-group relationship.
Meanwhile, a linguistic structure describes the rule of linguistic
component creates wider component. Thus, sociolinguistics studies the
social uses of language and the social evaluation of language variations.
Chaika (1982: 2) formulates sociolinguistics as the study of language
used in society through interaction. It deals with what people intend and
do to convey their meaning in social interaction. It is supported by Trask
(1999: 187) who defines sociolinguistics as the branch of linguistics
which studies the relation between language and society. In addition, he
argues that society is likely to create a number 9 of language variations.
Thus, sociolinguistics may be said as the study of language variation.
Fishman in Coulmas (2007: 233) proposes that sociolinguistics
covers two domains. First, it deals with the descriptive sociology of
languages. It is in charge in figuring out the accepted social organization
of language usage within a speech community and attempting to relate
the standards of language usage. Second, it deals with the dynamic
sociology of languages. It is related with how different rates of change
9
affect in the social organization either in terms of the language use or the
human behavior toward language.
Furthermore, Marshall (2004:15) says that sociolinguistics is mostly
concerned with integrated models to account for the links between three
fields; linguistic variation, social structure, and linguistic change.
Linguistic variation refers to the range of differences between the
languages of the world. It is affected by the regional and the social
aspects where the language is used. The second field is social
structurepatterned social arrangements which structure the society as a
whole and which distinguish into some varying degree. The third field is
linguistic change. It is a phenomenon whereby some branches of
linguistics such as phonetics, phonology, morphology, grammar,
semantics, and pragmatics differ over time. This concept is supported by
Katamba and Kerswill in Culpeper et al. (2009: 262). They elaborate five
causes of linguistic change i.e. imperfect learning of grammar, social,
functional, structural, and contact. Firstly, imperfect learning grammar
deals with the phenomena where there is lack of young generation
incomplete learning that results in the modification, such as for and form.
Secondly, social aspect influences 10 language changes in terms of age,
gender, class, and ethnicity. Thirdly, functional factor occurs such as in
the change of going to into gonna and want to into wanna. Fourthly,
language change is affected by structural function that focuses on formal
relationship between linguistic elements. The last is contact which
occurs as a result of interaction with other language.
Based on the some proposed concepts of sociolinguistics, it can be
concluded that sociolinguistics is the study of linguistic field that
investigates the effect of the aspects in society, such as cultural norms,
expectations, and situation (context) in which language is used, and the
effects of language use on society.
3. Pragmatics
Yule (1996:3) states pragmatics is concerned with the study of
meaning as communicated by a speaker (or writer) and interpreted by a
listener (or reader). It has, consequently, has more to do with the analysis
10
of what people mean by their utterances than what the words or phrases
in those utterances might mean by themselves. Pragmatics is the study
of speaker meaning. This type of study necessarily involves the
interpretation of what people mean in a particular context and how the
context influences what is said. It requires the consideration of how
speakers organize what they want to say in accordance with they are
talking to, where, when, and under what circumstances. Pragmatics also
necessarily explores how listeners can make inferences about what is
said in order to arrive at an interpretation of speaker’s intended meaning.
This type of study explores how a great deal of what is unsaid is
recognized as part of what is communicated.
In addition, Leech (1983:6) states that pragmatics is the study of
meaning which related to the speech situation. Futher he explains that
pragmatics can be seen as a way to solve problem which can arise, both
from perspective of a speaker and a hearer. For example from the
sepaker’s point of view, the problem is the planning about how to
produce an utterance. On the other hand, from the hearer’s point of view,
the problem is related to the interpetation, which forces the hearer to be
able to interpret the possible reason that makes the sepaker saying the
utterance.
In conclusion, pragmatics is the study of meaning of utterances in
relation to the contexts which involves how a soeaker produces an
utterances to deliver his or her intention an how the listener interprets it.
4. Speech Acts
In Linguistic, a speech act is an utterances defined in terms of a
speaker’s intention and the effect it has on a listener. Yule (1996:47)
proposes that speech act is perfomed action via utteramces. Another
definition from Crystal in Soekemi (1995:121) mentions that speech acts
is a theory that anaylzes the role of utterances in relation to the behavior
of speake and listner interpersonal communication. In vrief, when
speakers are saying words, they do not only produce utterance containing
words and grammatical struture, but also perfrom action in those
utterances.
11
According to Yule (2000:47) in expressing their mind, people do not

only produce utterance containing words and grammatical structure, but
also perform action in those utterances. When a person is uttering
something, at the same time, he is also performing acts. “Actions
performed via utterance are generally called speech acts”.
Austin (1911-1960) states, many utterances (thing people say) are
equivalent to cations. As a speaker produces an utterances, she or he is
also performing a certain kind of acts such as giving order, asking
question, making request, making a promise, etc. These kinds of acts are
called “speech acts”. Within speech acts, Austin distiguished luctionary
force concerns the act the speaker intends to do in performing the speech
acts
Searle (1969:21) states that, speech act is the basic unit of
communication, taken together with the principle of expressibility,
suggest that there are a series of analytic connection between the suggest
that there are a series of analytic connection between the notion of speech
acts, what the speaker means, what the sentences (or other linguistic
element) uttered means, what the speaker intends what the hearer
understands, and what the rules governing the linguistic elements are.
George Yule (1996:48) writes on his book that in every occasion
speech act that produced by performing some utterances, consists of
there elements indeed. It is appropriate with Austin (1965) that isolates
there basic senses in which in saying something one is doing something.
In this condition, there are three basic kinds of acts perform in their
speech, locutionary, illocutionary, and perlocutionary act. As explain
below.
1.) Locutionary Act
Locutionary act is the act of saying the literal meaning of the
utterances. Locutionary is the description about what the
speakers said. Peccei (1999:4) writes in his book that locutionary
is the actual form of words used by the speakers and the semantic
meaning. On the other word in locutioary act, speaker produces
a meaningful linguistic expression. In performing a lucotionary
12
act, a speaker uses identifiable expression, consisting of a

sentence or fragment of sentence from language.
2.) Illocutionary Act

Illocutionary act is what the speaker’s doing by uttering those
words: commanding, offering, promising, threatening, thanking, etc
(Peccei, 1999:44). It defines as the underlying force of the utterance
or in the interpretation by the hearer. Then Yule (1996:48) said that
we form an utterance with some kind of function in mind. This
means, in every utterance that we produced there is another act that
performed inside the utterance. It also can be concluded that
illocutionary act is an act of doing something, or the speaker’s
intention toward the utterance he says.
This research emphasizes on one of speech acts, the illocutionary
acts. According to Austin in Carrol (1999:140), the illocutionary acts is
“the action that is performed by saying the sentence”. However, this
research only uses the theory of illocutionary act from Searle because
the fact that this person has been successful in developing this theory,
which is originally from Austin. According to Hallion (2001:chap 3), to
give a better understanding about illocutionary acts, Searle contrast it
with Perlocutionary acts. In this explanation, an illocutionary acts “a
linguistics acts performed on uttering certain words in a given context”
while a Perlocutionary acts is “a non-linguistics act performed as a
consequence of performing the locution and illocutionary act. For
example, the utterance “Good morning” is the illocutionary acts of
greeting, this illocutionary acts effects on the listener’s perception to
bring a Perlocutionary acts replying ‘Good morning”. In this research,
the researcher uses illocutionary acts further development.
The classification of illocutionary acts propose by Searle (1976) is a
development of ideas that appears in Austin’s theory. They are five
basic kind of action that can perform in speaking by mean of the
following five types of utterance that is developing by Yule
(1996:5354), they are:
13
a. Declaratives are those kinds of speech acts that change the world
via their utterance. They change the state of the world in an
immediate way. The acts of declaratives are approving, betting,
blessing, christening, confirming, cursing, declaring, disapproving,
dismissing, naming, resigning, etc.
a) Declaring: to announce something clearly, firmly, publicly, and
officially.
exp: ”Since August, 17th 1945 Indonesia has been an
independent country.”
b) Resigning: to give up a job or position by telling your employer
that you are leaving.
exp: “I quit from this job.”
b. Representatives are those kinds of speech acts that state what the
speaker believes to be case or not. The type including arguing,
asserting, boasting, claiming, complaining, criticizing, denying,
describing, informing, insisting, reporting, suggesting, swearing,
etc.
a) Reporting: to give a description of something or information
about it to someone.
exp: “Jogja is raining today.”

exp: “Indonesia is a country that has two seasons, spring and
rainy season.”
e) Swearing: to promise or say firmly that you are telling the truth
or that you will do something or behave in particular way.
exp: “I swear, I will never let you down.”
14
c. Expressives are those kinds of speech acts that state what the
speaker feels about the situation. The acts are apologizing,
complimenting, condoling, congratulating, deploring, praising,
regretting, thanking, etc.
a) Apologizing : to tell someone that you are sorry for having done
something that has caused problem or unhappiness for them.

sorrow, misfortune, or grief (usually follow by with).
f) Deploring, or censoring, in which the addressee is criticized for
an event which had a negative impact on the speaker or a third
person
g) Lamenting, where the speaker expresses his or her own
misfortune, either at their own misfortune or somebody else’s
doing.
h) Welcoming, where the speaker expresses positive feelings
towards the arrival of the addressee. Norrick (1987:289) points
to the conceptual similarity with thanking.
i) Forgiving, the expression which is used to stop blaming or being
angry with someone or something that person has done, or not
punish them for something.
15
j) Boasting, a statement which is used to express or talk about

oneself or something related to oneself in a proud or
selfadmiring way.
k) Blaming, the situation in which people say or think that someone
or something did something wrong or is responsible for
something bad happening.
l) Expressing Joy, where the speaker expresses positive feelings
that full of joy and happiness.
exp: “I am glad to hear that.”
m) Congratulating : to praise someone and say that you approve of
or pleased about a special or unusual achievement.
exp: “Congrats dear, wish you will get your first job soon after

exp: “I want an orange juice and the most special food here.”
16
e. Commisives are those kinds of speech acts that the speakers use to
commit themselves to future action. The acts are committing,
guaranteeing, planning, offering, promising, refusing, threatening,
volunteering, vowing, etc.
a) Promising : to tell someone that you will certainly do something.
exp: “I will always stand by your side, dear.”
b) Planning : a set of decisions about how to do something in the

to finish my assignments tonight.
3.) Perlocutionary Act

Austin also distinguished the third part of speech acts, the
perlocutionary. It is the consequent effect of the utterance on the
hearer through the uttering of linguistic expression, or the overall
aim of the utterance (Peccei, 1999:44). An utterance that is
uttered by someone often has effect to the listener. Which can be
expected or unexpected affect that created by the speaker. So, in
other word, a perlocutionary is listener behavioral response,
perhaps merely a mental or emotional response. It also can be
concluded that perlocutionary act is the hearer’s reaction toward
the speaker’s utterance.
There is an example of speech acts. A child refuse to lie down
and go to sleep, then his mother says, ”I will turn your light off”.
The locutionary act is utterance of this sentence ”I will turn your
17
light off”. However, the mother may be intending that the

utterance to be interpreted as a threat. The threat here is
illocutionary acts. It means that if the child does not sleep, his
mother will turn off the light. As consequence behavior of that
child, he must be frightened into silence and sleep is
perlocutionary act.
5. Expressive Speech Acts

Searle categories a one category for speech act that focus on
primarily on representing the speaker’s feeling, it is expressive,
which expresses a psychological state (Levinson, 1983:240). George
Yule (1996) states that expressive are those kinds of speech act that
used to express or state a psychological attitude of the speakers; such
as joy, sorrow and like/dislike. In other word, expressive are those
kinds of speech act that what the speaker feels about the situation.
Norrik (1978:279) specifies that expressive speech acts express
psychological conditions, and thus not beliefs or intentions, which
arise to given states of affairs. The expressions produce in this
category such as thangking, apoligizing, welcoming, condoling, and
etc. Norrick (1978:284) compares nine different kinds of expressive
illocutionary acts. These are:
1. Apologizing
Apologizing is an expression of regret that is used to tell
someone that you are sorry for having done something that has
caused problem or unhappiness for them. By expressing
apologizing, the speaker tries to fix the situation by expressing
his/her feeling of sorry. Risana (2005:27) adds some definitions
of apologizing such as; acknowledge faults or shortcoming
failing, defend, explain, clear away or make excuses for by
reasoning. There also some related terms of apologizing: alibu
out of, apologize for, ask forgiveness, beg pardon, express
regret, plead guility, do penance and so on. For example: “I’m
sorry to waste your time”, “I really do apologize.” And “I beg
your pardon.”
18
2. Blamming
Blamming is the situation in which people say or think that
someone or something did someting wrong or is responsible for
something did something wrong or is responsible for something
bad happening. Blame is an act of attributing fault where the
speaker asking for responsibility. For example: “It was your
fault.” “You are the one to blame.”, and “How could you do
such a thing?”
3. Boasting
Boasting is a statement which is used to express or talk about
oneself or something related to oneself in aproud or
selfadmiring way. Based on Cambridge English Dictionary,
boast is something you are proud of and like to tell people about
it.
For example : “I can do anything without your help.” And “I
won three national awards of volleyball match when i was in
senior high school.”
4. Expressing Joy
Expressing joy is a way where the speaker expresses positive
feelings that full of joy and happines. Based on Merriam
Webster Online Dictionary, joy is the emotion evoked by
wellbeing, succes or good fortune or by the prospect of
possessing what on desires. For example, “i am glad to hear
that.”, “This is my best birthday that I ever had.”, and “Nice
to meet you.”
5. Forgiving
Forgiving is the expression which is used to stop blamming or
being angry with someone or something that person has done,
or not punish them for something. Cambridge English
Dictionary states that forgiving is an acts of willing to forgive.
By expressing expression of forgiving, the speaker expresses
his or her feeling of forgiveness about a mistake somebody has
done. For example: ”Do not worry about it.”,”It is okay.”, and
19
“It does not matter.”

6. Lamenting
Lamenting is an expression which is used by the speaker to
express his or her own misforune, either at their own
misfortune or somebody else’s doing. Based on Oxford
Dictionary, lament is a passionate expression of grief or sorrow
that is used by the speaker to express his or her or somebody’s
misfortune for havingn bad luck. For example, “I have lost my
best freind.” and “She loves him back but as a friend only.”
7. Praising
Based on Cambridge English Dictionary, praising is a way to
express admiration or approval for the achievements or
characteristics of a person or thing. Praising is also defined as
an appreciation about good achievements or qualities of person
or thing. For example, “You have such a great perfomance last
night.”,”you look so pretty in you traditional dress.”, and
“This song is so awesome.”
8. Regreting
Regretting is a feeling of sadness or sorry about something sad
or wrong or about a mistake that you have made, and a wish
that it could have different and better. For example, “I am
sorry, I ought to have arrived on time.”,” I wish I had not made
that mistake.”, and “If I had studied hard, I would not have
failed on my exam.”
9. Thanking
Expressing gratitude is considered to be one universals of
interpersonal communication, in particular in realization of the
politeness principle. Thanking is classified as an expressive
illocutionary act that can be defined as an expression that is
20
used to show your pleasure or gratitude for something that

people have done. For example : “Thank you so much for
calling.” , “ thank you for letting me know.”
6. Language Functions of Expressive Speech Acts

Language, in fact, serves a great many functions and “giving
and getting information.” According to halliday (1985:15) proposed
the word Function can be thought of as a synonym for the word Use,
so when we talk about functions of language, we may mean no more
than the way people use their languages if they have more than one.
Stated in the most general terms, people do different things with their
language; that is, they expect to achieve by talking and writing, and
by listening and reading, a large number different aims and different
purposes. Language is one among number of system of meaning that,
taken all together, constitutes human culture. Language is understood
in its relationship to social structure. Function as a fundamental
property of language itself, something that is basic to the evolution
of the semantic system.
According to Leech (1974: 40-42), there are five essential
features in any communicative situations, namely: informational
function, expressive function, directive function, aesthetic function
and phatic function.
Expressive function can be used to express its originator’s
feeling and attitudes. It correlates with the originators i.e. the speaker
and the writer. The feeling or attitudes which are expressed by this
function are: anger, annoyance (irritation), disappointment,
amazement, and so forth, swearing words, and exclamations are the
most obvious instances of this. Meanwhile, Threshold (1990)
proposed six language functions, those are imparting and seeking
factual information, expressing and finding out attitudes, getting
things done (suasion), socializing, structuring discourse, and
communication repair. In case of expressing and finding out
attitudes, Threshold (1990) classified it into 57 classes which are
presented in the following table.

7. Movie
A film, also called a movie or motion picture, stated by Arsyad Azhar
(2009: 49) is a series of image in the frame where the frame is projected
by projector lens in a screen that make that image look life. This optical
illusion causes the audience to perceive continuous motion between
separate objects viewed rapidly in succession. A film is created by
photographing actual scenes with a motion picture camera; by
photographing drawings or miniature models using traditional animation
techniques; by means of CGI and computer animation; or by 19 a
combination of some or all of these techniques and other visual effects.
The contemporary definition of cinema is the art of simulating
experiences that communicate ideas, stories, perceptions, feelings,
beauty or atmosphere by the means of recorded or programmed moving
images along with other sensory stimulations.
B. Relevant Studies of Expressive Speech Acts

Here, there are some relevant studies which have been done by
previous researchers in the area of expressive speech acts, as following:
1. Dian Irawati (2015) in her thesis “Expressive Speech Acts used by
Dave and Aubrey in the First Time Movie” expressive speech acts
on the movie. By using discourse analysis as the reseach
methodlogy. She discribes that there are 9 kinds of expresssive
speech acts. She explain the most dominant precentages.
2. Ulin Nafi’ah (2015) in her thesis “Expressive Speech Acts in Harry
Potter and Chamber of Secret Movie Script” analyzes expressive
26
speech acts on the movie script. By using discourse analysis as the

research methodology, she describes that there are five kinds of
expressive speech acts such like, dislike, sorrow, pleasure and pain.
She does not explain the percentage of the most dominant of
expressive speech acts she found.
Those previous studies are relevant to this research. In this
research, the researcher will conduct the research entitled with “An
Analysis of Expressive Speech Acts Found Moana Movie”. The analysis
not only will analyze the types of expressive speech acts found Moana.
but also will analyze the functions based on the sub-categories of
expressive speech acts.
In a study there are similarities and differences between
researchers, similarities in this study, researchers analyze the speech act.
the difference in other researchers is that there are researchers who base
novels, movie scripts and characters in films
C. Conceptual Framework
In social life, people always communicate with each other by using
language. Language is one of tools of communication. In communication,
language has an important rule because it means to explain what the speaker
wants the listener to do. The purpose of communication is accomplished
through language (Berlo 1963: 8).
While people communicate, they use utterances to express what they
have in their mind toward the listener. Utterance produces by speaker does
not only function to explain the speaker mind toward the listener but also
means to show the relationship between them. When we want to know
people’s relationship through their utterance, we can see it from speech act.
According to Austin (1960), speech act is a theory of perfomative language,
in which say something is to do something. On any occasion, the action
performed by producing an utterance will consist there related acts (Yule.
1996: 48). The following examples show Austin’s categories, they are
locutionay, illocutionary, and perlocutionary.
This research focuses on analyzing the types of speech acts found in
27
“Moana” movie. In this research, speech acts is defined as the basic unit of
language used to express meaning, an utterance that expresses an intention.
Normally, the speech act is a sentence, but it can be a word or phrase as long
as it follows the rules necessary to accomplish the intention. When one
speaks, one performs an act. Speech is not just used to designate something,
it actually does something. Speech act stresses the intent of the act as a
whole. There are three types of speech act: locutionary, illocutionary, and
perlocutionary. A perlocutionary act can be used to elicit some behavioral
response from the listener.
The analysis goes through one category, the expressive speech acts
which is the one of the classification of illocutionary speech acts. The
expressive speech acts of all characters found in ”Moana” movie is analyzes
by using Searle’s theory of speech acts. As the first step, the researcher tries
to understand some theories of expressive speech acts, then watches that
movie, analyses that movie, and creates this paper analysis. As the result, the
researcher can find the categorizations and functions of expressive speech
acts used found in “Moana” movie by focusing the analysis on those two
matters.
CHAPTER III
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
In this chapter, the research describes the research methodology that covers
research type, research setting, data and data source, research instrument, data
collection technique, and data analysis technique and procedure.
A. Research Type
In this researcher used discourse anaylsis as the research type to study
larger linguistic units, such as conversitional exchanges or written texts is
widely used. The researcher’s reason of using discourse analysis involved
the study both text and context, and since the data in the form of words and
sentence. M. Stubbs (1983:1) defines discourse anaylsis as concerned with
language use beyond the boundaries of a sentence or utterance, concerned
with the interrelationship between language and society, concerned with the
interactive or dialogic properties of everyday communication.
According to Brown and Yule (1983:1), discourse analysis is
committed to an investigation of what that language is used for. It is
concerned with language used in social context and in particular with
interaction or dialogue between the speakers. Discourse analysis focuses on
language use ‘above’ the sentence (in text) and “beyond’ the sentence (in
context). This prespective analyzes texts and contexts from a wide array of
sites in everyday life, ranging, for example, from informal conversations
among freinds to doctor/patient interactions, office documents (memos,
minutes), and televised political debates. Some of the issues addressed are
the following: how texts build cohesion (the word and meaning relationships
that ‘hold’ a text together) and coherence (the overal unity, topic, and
message); how texts that tell a story (a narrative) differ from those that
describe something, provide an explanation or list a set of instructions.

B. Data and source of the data

The data of this research are the utterances of expressive speech acts
found in Moana movie.
1. Data
As stated by Marguired Iudico (2006: 66), data is any type
of information collected for use in educational research or
assessment. In this research, the data that will be used are
utterances produced by charahcters in Moana movie. This data
will be collected from a movie script of Moana movie, its
runtime is 1 hour and 43 minutes
2. Data Source
The data source that would be used in this research is Moana
movie. In this movie the researcher can find some expressions
that can be identified by expressive speech acts. Moana is a
2016 Animated musical fantasy adventure movie written and
directed by Ron Clements, John Musker, and Auli’i Cravalho
as Moana, Dwayne Jhonson as Maui, Rachel House as
Grandma, Alan Tudyk as Heihei.
C. Place and Time of the Research
The research schedule began from October 2019 to April 2020 and
the research activities and time allocation were presented in the following
table. This study was conducted in Universitas Sarjanawiyata
Tamansiswa library. The research activities and the time allocation are
presented in following table

4. Report Writing
30
1. Preparation
Before conducting the research, the research selected what kind of
movie which was wanted to be analyzed. Afterwards, the research planned
to look for some theories from books, jornals, and internet in order to
support in doing this research. The research began were the research made
a plan and collected some references to support this research
2. Data colection
The researcher collected the data such as movie and the trancription
of the movie. In this step, the researcher collected the data by watching the
movie and downloading the movie script form the internet. This activity
was done to gather the whole data needed in this research
3. Data analysis
The researcher analyzed the data that produced by characters in
Moana movie. In this step, the researcher continued the research by observing,
classifying, and describing the data of the types expressive speech acts used by
characters.
4. Report Writing
In this research, the research conducted some activities such as
consulting and revising the research report. The research reported the
result of analyzing the data and drew conclusion of what he had found in
the research. The researcher finished her report writing after a couple of
time consulting and revising her proposal to the consultant.
D. Research Instrument and Tools

The research instrument is very imporrant to get result of the research.
Research instrument is used to collect the data. Arikunto (2006:165) points
out that research instrument is a tool that helps the research in the activity
of collecting data, so the activity becomes systematic and easy. This
research applied as documentary study because the data was in the form of
document or written text. Documentation is the method used in the scientific
research. It used some instruments to support in collecting, categorizing and
analyzing the data. It could be seen as follows:
31
1.Laptop
In this research, laptop was used to browse and read some related
theories. Besides, this instrument also was used to play the chosen
movie in order to get the data, and to analyze the data based on the
types and the function of expressive speech acts used by all
characters in Moana movie, and write down the report.
2.Flash Disk
Flash disk was a small ultra-portable storage device. It could be
connected to laptops and others devices. In this research, flash disk
would be used to save the files of the research data.
3.Headset
Headset was used by researcher for listening to the conversations in
the movie more clearly.
4.Mobile Phone
Mobile phone was used to access to a cellular radio system so it can
be used over a wide area, without a physical connection to a network.
By using mobile phone, it supported in browsing and gathering
process in order to get some related theories
5.Writing Equipment
Some writing equipments were used by the researcher in this
research, such as pen and writing book. By using some writing
equipments, it helped the researcher in taking some notes while
analyzing the data.
6.Internet
Internet was used to help the researcher to find out and downloaded
the movie “Moana”.
E. Data Collection Technique

In collecting the data, the researcher did the following:
32
1. Downloading the chosen movie and taking appropriate subtitles on

internet.
2. Validating the trascript by watching the movie and comparing the
subtitle taken from internet.
3. Documenting the utterances used by the characters in movie that
belong to expressive speech acts.
4. Classifying the data into types of expressive speech into a table
containing columns as follows::
1). Apologizing 7. Forgiving
2). Blaming 8). Lamenting
3). Boasting 9). Praising
4). Condoling 10). Regretting
5). Deploring 11). Thanking
6). Expressing Joy
5. Finally, after selecting data the researcher tried to input the data into
the table which contained the types of expressive speech act.
F. Data Analysis Technique and Procedure

In the study, the researcher used some procedures technique in
collection data. The procedures were presented as follows:
1. Data Analysis Technique
In order to analyzes the data, the researcher applied discourse
analysis approach and used the theory of expressive speech acts by
Searle and Austin. J. L. Austin (1975) on his book How to Do Things
