research questions with the results. In conformability, the researcher aimed to measure whether the data findings and its interpretation were truly based
on the obtained data. It is also needed to use a triangulation technique to confirm the
evidence and to achieve the conformability. Based on Lodico 2010: 189 triangulation is the process of comparing different source of data or
perspective of different participants. Triangulation can be conducted by studying linguistics, which was done by seeking for an affirmation from
articles, journals and books, and consulting the data with a lecturer as the thesis supervisor and students who study linguistics. The students were
Nurhidayah Permata Nurani a student of English Education Department in State University of Yogyakarta and Annisa Laura Maretha, S.Pd a student
of English for Professional Development in Mae Fah Luang University of Chiang Rai, Thailand.

A. Findings
1. The data findings of the kinds of Speech Acts presented in Emma
Watson’s HeForShe
As it has been discussed in Chapter II, speech acts consist of three acts which are locutionary acts, illocutionary acts and perlocutionary acts.
Furthermore, illocutionary acts are divided into five which are declaration, representative, commissive, directive and expressive. Surprisingly all those
five kinds of illocutionary acts were seen and employed in Emma Watson’s
HeForShe. This deployment of the five kinds of illocutionary acts made her speech more effective.
The reason is because Emma did not only want to deliver a speech which contains of some new information but she also wanted to convince
and drag the audience’s perception and belief towards the feminism idea by
informing them regarding the deplorable facts and telling them what is more to come if they do not change the status quo. She was also expressive to
show the sorrow of the condition in the status quo that women and men are
victimized by the stereotypes. She added that it would be nice if the condition changes in the near future. Therefore, by creating a logical and
emotional arguments, Emma successfully made her speech very effective in gaining people’s attention towards gender issues. The data findings
regarding the speech acts in Emma Watson’s HeForShe are presented in the
table below.
