are both different in quantities and the frequencies of using direct requests. It is because when a male face a problem, he will respond to
it by giving advice or solution to the problem. It is different with female; they are used to involve their feeling of sensitive and
solidarity, she will respond to it by offering matching troubles which means that she understands and she can feel the same feeling. Third,
social distance was not influence on the linguistic choices in making requests.
5.2 Suggestions
In relation to the conclusions, suggestions are offered as the following: 1.
It is suggested to the doctors to spend more time to the patients in order to get more indirect requestive speech act that is conventionally indirect and
non-conventionally indirect request. 2.
The linguistic choices of the types of requests used by male and female trigger the doctors to give polite requests that is indirect requests in order
the patients will be recovered by the polite request utterances as the law of attraction in healing themselves.
3. Further research needs to be conducted in other social interactions except
gender and social distance to enrich the researchers and the readers’ knowledge in the field of requestive speech act.
