Abstract

This thesis aims to examine the illocutionary and perlocutionary acts employed by the main characters in the movie 22 jump street. This study was using descriptive qualitative to analyzed the data. The researcher attempts to characterize, understand, and explain the situation of the conversations from the main characters based on the movie transcript. The researcher performs an analysis of the illocutionary and perlocutionary utterances of the main characters by using a movie transcript. The data were evaluated using Searle's (1979) theory of illocutionary act and Austin's (1979) theory of perlocutionary act (1962).In this study, the researcher found 6 data of commissive type of illocutionary act, 19 data from representative type, 21 from directive type, 10 from expressive type, and 2 data from declaration, The researcher found the total from illocutionary act is 58 data. From the entire data found, it can be concluded that the main characters use the directive type of illocutionary act more often. This is because the main characters in the movie tend to do more act-out comedy as the tool to transfer the sense of humor to the viewer rather than conversation comedy. In addition, since an act out comedy requires more order or command. From the theory of perlocutionary act by Austin (1962), the researcher obtained 58 of the perlocutionary act data. The researcher found 37 data of intended perlocutionary effect and 21 data of actual perlocutionary effects. Based on the entire data perlocutionary act found, it can be concluded that in the subject of this study, that intended perlocutionary effect seems to have the most frequency in conversations between the main characters. In the subject of this study, it turns out that many of the main character's utterances can be understood by the interlocutor, but most of their utterances often distort the speaker's intent, which seems to be on purpose to show a sense of humor to the audience.
