CHAPTER IV RESEARCH FINDINGS AND DISCUSSION
In this chapter, research findings are presented to discuss types of speech acts found in Jimmy
Hopkins’ utterances and social styles based on speech act types in the utterances. This chapter is divided into two parts. The first part shows general
discussion of major findings. The second part discusses samples of speech act types found in Jimmy
Hopkins’ utterances and their attribution to social styles.
