1976. Second, the analysis of the data was explained descriptively based on the related theory proposed by Searle 1976. Last, the context of situation of each
data that support the illocutionary acts was explained descriptively by using context of situation theory proposed by Halliday 1985. They could be seen in the
form of paragraphs under the data. The focused data was typed in bold.
CHAPTER II REVIEW OF LITERATURES, CONCEPT AND THEORETICAL
FRAMEWORK
2.1 Review of Literatures
Speech acts is a very interesting topic to be discussed. There are several undergraduate theses about speech act done by student of English Department,
Faculty of Arts and Culture, Udayana University. The first undergraduate thesis reviewed is
“The Analysis of Indirect Commisive in Speech Acts in the Novel ‘The Beach’.” written by student of
English Department, Giri in 2004. The paper only focuses on the analysis of indirect commisive of promises and indirect commisive of offers realize through
declarative and interrogative forms. The strength of this paper is the paper has very clear explanation and easy to understand by the readers. However, in his
work, the weakness is that Giri did not describe about the setting or the context of situation that relevant to the sample dialogues. This study gives some
contributions to this study, mainly in the area of theory used to analyze the data. Giri’s study used theory of speech act proposed by Searle 1969. The study
reviewed is relevant to this study which takes speech acts as the topic of discussion. However, the differences between this study with study reviewed
above is that this study analyzes all types of illocutionary acts found in the movie, while the study above discussed more specifically about the indirect commisive of
promises illocutionary acts.

A similar undergraduate thesis which takes speech act as the topic discussion is “The Analysis of Directive Illocutionary Act in the Radiotelephony of
Air Traffic Service Control” done by Trisnaputri 2004. This paper focused on the directive illocutionary act in the conversation that happened in the
radiotelephony of air traffic control at Ngurah Rai airport. The strength of this study is this study gives readers new information about radiotelephony and the
function of each utterance as commonly used and it is explained in detail. However, there is also the weakness of this study, the analysis in Trisnapu
tri’s work is very complicated because there are many technical terms used in her
study. It is hard to understand because not all the readers understand terms used in Radiotelephony air traffic. The similarities and the differences of Trisnaputri work
to this study is almost the same like the previous undergraduate thesis reviewed. Tris
naputri’s undergraduate thesis above is relevant to this study’s topic which takes speech acts as the topic. But, there is a slight difference because the study
reviewed above discussed specifically about directive illocutionary acts while this study concerns with five basic kinds of speech acts proposed by Searle 1969
Another relevant undergraduate thesis to review comes from Sapitri in 2004 “The Directive Act in the Novel Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone.” Sapitri’s
study gives some contributions to this study, mainly in the area of theory used to analyze the data and Sapitri’s study gives a good example of elaborating theory
used in analyzing data. In her paper, Saputri describes the meaning or the utterance using the affective meaning by Leech. The study reviewed is relevant to
this study which takes speech acts as the topic of discussion. The difference of
