The first is to classify the type of illocutionary acts into directives illocutionary acts and the reason why they were grouped as one of the types of illocutionary
acts proposed by John R. Searle 1969. The next step is toanalyze the context of situation that supports the directive of
illocutionary acts on Alex’s Dialogue in movie Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most
Wanted based on the theory of context of situation proposed by Halliday 1989. By using this theory, we could determine the implicit meaning of the illocutionary
acts and we know what the function of those illocutionary acts that occurs in the movie. Those applied theories functioned to show how certain utterances
indicating to directive illocutionary acts were performed and constructed through pieces of dialogue inside in movie
Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted. It can help us to know why the illocutionary acts is uttered.
CHAPTER II REVIEW OF LITERATURES, CONCEPTS, AND THEORETICAL
FRAMEWORK
A literary review is an account of what has been published on a topic by accredited scholars and researchers. Literature reviews in this research were divided
into two types, they were thesis review. In this chapter, all of the theories and concepts that relevant to be analysis of the data were clearly described. They were
inserted in the subchapters, entitled review of literature, concepts and theoretical framework.
The first subchapter, some studies on utterances that already done by previous students of the English Department which give contribute for this study are briefly
discussed. The second subchapters is a theory based on understanding emerging within
the concepts of speech acts, and illocutionary acts such as assertive, directives, commissives, expressive, declarations.
The third subchapter covers all of the theories that used in analyzing data. It refers to any theories proposed by linguists as the basic sources to tackle with the
analysis of the as assertive, directives, commissives, expressive, declarations illocutionary acts and also the context of situation that supports the type of
illocutionary acts. They were framed in a systematic explanation, known as theoretical framework.
2.1 Review of Literature
This subchapter discusses the review of the undergraduate thesis. The explanation is described clearly about the explanation of previous studies related to
the topic in this study. Those have been done by the students of English Department as their undergraduate thesis.
Nurani 2006 in her thesis entitled “Speech Act Component in the Movie
“The Proposal” the scope of discussion the topic is wide enough, her study described speech act component such as locutionary, illocutionary, and perlocutionary. Besides,
her study mentions the context situation in the movie. Her study applies qualitative method. The similarities between her study and this study could be seen from: the
object to be discussed which was from movie. Actually, here the data was taken from a movie Madagascar 3:
Europe’s Most Wanted. After finding the similarities, there were also differences among our studies. The difference her study with this study is
her study analyzes speech act components, the topic is wide enough to analyze. Therefore, the data in this study were presented in the form directive sentence. The
writer didn’t explain about the context of situation that supports the illocutionary utterances. Her study used the differences theory to support the analysis of the
problem about the context of situation of illocutionary acts was the theory Ethnography of Communication proposed by Hymes 1972, whereas this study used
the theory of context situation by Halliday and Hassan. Her study also has the weakness; the weakness of her study is in the explanation of context situation, Nurani
didn’t explain about the context of situation that supports the illocutionary utterance.
