CHAPTER II
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
In this chapter, I will explain two subchapters: i previous studies, ii related literatures. In this first subchapter, I will explain some previous studies and in this
second subchapter, I will use some related theories as theoretical framework.
2.1. Previous Studies
I consider some previous studies in this chapter: i Analysis of Indirect Uses of Interrogative Sentences Carrying Anger Min Park, 2007, and ii The
Illocutionary Acts of Gadget Commercial Advertisement of Nokia Official Website Al Manafi, 2010.
2.1.1. The first study was a research report by Min Park 2007 entitled

rrogative sentences influence the process of identifying the speaker’s anger. As result of this study, they regarded some findings: i the speaker used
interrogative sentences not only for asking or requesting something directly to the
hearers but also performing speech acts indirectly including rejection, refutation, and reproach, ii
the interrogative words “why” and “who” are more powerful in order to show how the speakers express anger than any other words, and iii the
speaker used interrogative sentences as appropriate device for emotional expression especially anger.
My current study differed from this previous study in having aims, data data resources, research subject, and research focus. I took the data from the
transcripts of classroom recording in the teaching activities of kitab kuning. Islamic priests in pondok pesantren are regarded as research subjects. Beside I
aimed to identify not only the forms of interrogative sentences used by the speakers but also declaratives and imperatives ones. Furthermore, I also showed
how the speakers regarded those forms as devices to present directive functions. Beside those differences, there is point of similarity between my current
study and this previous ones. The point is the researchers of both studies also investigate the indirect function of interrogatives sentences.
2.1.2. The second study was a thesis by Al Manafi 2010 entitled The
