Abstract

The study aims to analyze expressions of gratitude and their responses in the Outsourced movie using the expressive speech act theory. The researcher focused on gratitude expressions and responses to know the function of gratitude expressions and responses. The main focus of this research is how gratitude is expressed and received by the characters in the movie. There are two problems to be solved in this study, namely: (1) how are gratitude expressions and its responses used by characters in Outsourced movie and (2) what are the functions of gratitude expressions and its responses used by characters in Outsourced movie. This study used qualitative research to provide a clear and systematic description of the phenomena being studied. A descriptive study in textual analysis was applied to analyze the conversations of the main characters through the script of the Outsourced movie. The data were collected by watching the movie and noting the expressions of gratitude and the corresponding responses in the given context. Using a qualitative approach, this research sought to understand the dynamics of social interaction through the speech act of gratitude. In this research, data were taken from the dialogues of six main characters in the Outsourced movie : Todd Anderson, Puro, Asha, Auntie Ji, Guarav, and Dave. The methods used included observation and documentation, with the film script serving as the primary data source. Analytical codes were developed to categorize various types of gratitude expressions and responses, such as acknowledgments of significant help, acceptance of offers, and closing of conversations. The study also identified the functions of gratitude expressions, such as praising, expressing affection, and providing reassurance. The results show that gratitude expressions in the film exhibit a variety of forms and responses, reflecting complex cultural and social dynamics. The most common responses were acknowledgment and reduction of burden, indicating acceptance and appreciation of the help provided. These findings offer insights into the importance of context in understanding speech acts and social relationships, as well as how expressions of gratitude can strengthen interpersonal relationships.
