Abstract

This study aims to examine the types of expressive speech acts in the utterances of the three female victims in “The Tinder Swindler” documentary film. This film was taken from a true story of a reliable fraudster who deceived three female victims through the Tinder application. In the film, the three female victims express their feelings for Simon’s deception. Thus, there were two formulations of the problem in this study: (1) What types of expressive speech acts were represented by the three female victims in “The Tinder Swindler” documentary film? (2) How do the coping mechanisms used by the three female victims overcome their problems in “The Tinder Swindler” documentary film? The researcher used a qualitative descriptive method to conduct this research. This study used Norrick’s (1978) theory of expressive speech acts to identify the types of expressive in the utterances of the three female victims in a documentary film. Then to analyze the coping mechanisms, this study used the theory of Lazarus and Folkman (1984). The data collection steps were by watching “The Tinder Swindler” documentary film, downloading the transcript text, re-watching the film to match it with the transcript text. After that, the researcher highlighted the data that contains the types of expressive speech acts and coping mechanisms by applying initials codes and the color determined by the researcher. In data analysis, the researcher classified the types of expressive speech acts into tables and then described the data. Then the researcher identified the coping mechanisms used by the utterances of the three female victims in the film. The study results showed that the utterances of the three female victims contained six types of expressive speech acts. They were thanking, condoling, deploring, lamenting, welcoming, and boasting. From these results, the type most often used by the three female victims is deploring. Apart from that, the researcher also discovered the coping mechanisms the three female victims used to overcome their problems. These include: 1) develop a counter-deceive plan, 2) going to the psychiatrist department, 3) asking for help from others, and 4) report to the authorities. This proved that the three female victims have used effective efforts to control their emotional pressure in a problem solving through an analysis of expressive speech acts and an analysis of coping mechanisms.
