5.2 Suggestions
Analyzing the direct and indirect speech acts of some utterances through Pragmatics is a very interesting research to do. Since this analysis only focuses on
the illocutionary act, it is suggested to those who are interested in analyzing speech acts through pragmatics to make a discussion and to make an analysis about the
Locutionary acts and Perlocutionary act found in the interview transcript in order to get more understanding about the interview transcript. It is also suggested to the
readers to give some critics and suggestions about this thesis in order to make the thesis better.
