the Madagascar series, a sequel to Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa, and it is the first in the series to be released in 3D. The film is directed by Eric Darnell, Tom
McGrath and Conrad Vernon. Its world premiere was held at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival on May 18, 2012. The film was released on June 8, 2012, to critical
and commercial success; it is the best-reviewed film in the series. It was taken as data source because it contains many utterances indicating those types of
illocutionary acts performed exclusively in some pieces of its dialogue.
1.5.2 Method and Techniques of Collecting Data
The data was taken by observing the movie. All the dialogues as data related to illocutionary acts were noted down and classified based on type of
illocutionary acts by Searle 1969. Next, the data which had grouped and bold- typing has further classified into the types of illocutionary acts by Searle, weather
the data is classified into directives.
1.5.3 Method and Techniques of Analyzing Data
The data is analyzed by using two main theories, the speech illocutionary act theory by John R. Searle 1969 and the context of situation by Halliday 1989.
The illocutionary acts theory used for recognizing assertive, directives, commissives, expressive, and declaratives. Meanwhile, the concept of Halliday
1989, is used to know how the influence of context situation when the illocutionary acts utterance.
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.
