Abstract

The speaker utters sentences based on a certain purpose. Illocutionary act is
the act which reflects the intention of the speaker in uttering a sentence, therefore, this
research focuses on the application of the illocutionary acts in the dialogue of the movie
script text “Pirates of The Caribbean” film entitled “The Curse of the Black Pearl”
produced by Ted Elliott & Terry Rossio. The theories applied are Pragmatics by
Stephen C. Levinson (Pragmatics; 1983), speech acts as put on Joan Cutting
(Pragmatics and Discourse; 2002), and types of illocutionary acts by Searle as put on
Stephen C. Levinson (Pragmatics; 1983). The method of analysis is a mixed method.
This study is focused on the five basic kind of actions of illocutionary act:
representatives, directives, commisives, expressives, and declarations.
Based on Searle’s theories of speech act, it is found that the illocutionary act
that were performed in this work are: representative (28.85%), directive (42.31%),
commisives (3.85%), expressive (25%). This study shows that directive illocutionary
acts is the most dominant type of illocutionary acts used by characters, followed by
representative illocutionary act. This analysis indicates that directive illocutionary act
especially in requesting and commanding someone to do something is the most
dominant.
