I have just returned from official visits to Tokyo and Beijing, after many meetings with President Xi Jinping and Prime Minister Shinzo Abe I
would like to share with you I am extremely optimistic.Datum II. No.5
Based on the data above, Jokowi performed expression of feeling because he wanted to show his seriousness to the audience that he could bring Indonesia into
a better nation. This may lead to the success of running the agenda that he had planned.
C. The Possible Perlocutionary Effects of the Dominant Illocutionary Acts
In reference to the research findings, the dominant illocutionary acts found in
Jokowi’s speeches are assertives and commisives. Their frequencies are 52,1 and 28,7 respectively. The assertive acts consist of informing, convincing,
questioning, describing and stating. Among those types of assertives, informing shows the highest frequency. It occurs 26 times. This implies that there is a lot of
information presented by Jokowi through his speeches since he is a new president of the Republic of Indonesia therefore there are many things to tell especially
regarding the agenda of the nation that will be implemented during his administration.
The act of informing aims to get the hearers know. In this case, Jokowi as the speakers want to let the audience know about the facts he explains. If he
successfully performs this act, the audience will have a good understanding about the information that he presents. Consequently, it may bring many positive effects
to Jokowi and the people of Indonesia in general. One of the possible effects is that the audience may jointly work with Jokowi especially in the business sectors
because the information that Jokowi presented has business orientation. PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

Instead of informing, describing act also shows high frequency of occurrence or 12 times. Based on the research findings, Jokowi described many
things such as the changing world. This implies that Jokowi want to perform changes due to the changes that occur in the world. The act of describing also
functions to tell the audience about the fact, in this case the current condition of the world. By performing this act, Jokowi wants to provide a rationale why they
should perform changes. The possible effect of performing this act is that the hearers or audience may perform the changes especially in the economic sector
since the condition in the world has changed. Another dominant illocutionary act is commisives. Based on the research
data, there are two different types of commisives namely promising and offering. The act of promising is more dominant than that of offering. Promising occurs 22
times while offering occurs 5 times. The dominant act of promising has a possible effect that the hearers may expect something from
Jokowi’s government. The expectations provided by Jokowi may build the optimism of the audience to do
business activities in Indonesia. This is relevant with the previous explanation that assertive act especially informing also dominates the occurrence. This means
Jokowi presents information then give promises related to the information he had presented.
