The second findings are related to the perlocutionary acts performed by Mr. Keating when teaching. The table shows that there are 2 types of
perlocutionary acts that he most performs when teaching. They are to inspire the hearer and to get hearer to do something which have the
same frequency, 24.77. It is because he is a teacher who always
inspires his students with his own way. He has a lot to tell about to the students in order to inspire them. Also, for getting hearer to do
something, it is actually natural for teachers to perform this since teachers usually ask the students to do things like presenting, reading,
doing assignment and homework, and so on. On the other hand, to insult the hearer is the perlocution with
the lowest percentage because Mr. Keating even does not do this to really insult the student. It is only to make the students respect other
people’s work. Thus, he does not do this much. Meanwhile, for the perlocutions which are not performed by Mr. Keating like to surprise
the hearer, to bore the hearer, to annoy the hearer, to frighten the hearer, and to alarm the hearer, it happens because those
perlocutionary acts are not common in classroom discourse and mostly, it occurs in daily conversation and even some are only in certain case.
Thus, they cannot be found in Mr. Keating utterances when teaching.
