utterance that one produces is not merely an utterance. It serves particular function and contains the intents of the speaker and can give effect on the
heareraddressee. All definitions above correspond to this study, however for the
subsequent discussion; the definition proposed by Parker is used as the standard since this study focuses on the direct and literal dimension proposed
by Parker.
2.2.2 Directness and Literalness
Directness is a dimension related to the correspondence of the syntactic form of the utterance to its meaning as well as function. If the syntactic form of an
utterance corresponds to its meaning and function, it is considered to be direct. However, if the syntactic form of the utterance does not correspond to its meaning
and function, the utterance is considered to be indirect. For instance: “Can you stop
talking?”which is in the form of interrogative; however, it is used to perform directive function.
Meanwhile, literalness deals with the correspondence between what is said with the fact situation. An utterance is defined as literal when it conveys the
meaning which is exactly as the speaker says. On the other hand, if the utterance does not mean like what is said by the speaker or it has opposite meaning, it is
considered to be non-literal. For instance: a mother asks her seven year old son about what program he is watching. Her son answe
rs “A film about murder”. Furthermore
she responds That is not a right program for you”. She utters an utterance which fits with the fact, in this case her feeling, that watching a film
about murder is not appropriate for a seven year old kid. However, she can respond by saying “Good”. Her utterance does not fit with the fact that she does
not agree with the program that her son is watching. Therefore, it is considered to be non-literal.
2.2.3 Movie
According to Oxford Dictionary, movie is a series of moving pictures recorded with sound that tells a story, shown at the cinemamovie theatre Oxford
Advanced Learner‟s Dictionary eight editions, 20l0:967. Currently people not only watch movie at the cinema, but also at home. They normally use electronic
devices, such as: television or computer to help them watching it A movie consists of a series of fragment which tells about a story
history, fiction, biography, etc. It can also serves as the documentation since it usually records what happens in the past. Furthermore, movie can be said as the
visualization of idea about experiences, which is supported by either visual or audio effect.
The movie can be classified into several types or genre. These are action, adventure, animation, biography, comedy, crime, documentary, drama, etc. The
types can interact and create a movie having more than one genre. For example, a movie could be a romance and a horror movie at the same time. The type assigned
to a movie is based on the content within the film. As a movie tells a story, it definitely has theme, plot, characters, setting,
and other story elements. There were many utterances that can be found in the movie. Besides as an entertainment, through movie, we can find out how language
is used to produce meaning. Generally, the characters in the movie have some interactions and during that interaction, they communicate and use language as
their means of communication. In accordance to the movie The Imitation Game, it can be classified as a
historical movie, with a screenplay written by Graham Moore based on the biography Alan Turing: the Enigma by Andrew Hodges. It is previously adapted
as the stage play and BBC drama Breaking the Code. The Imitation Game was directed by Morten Tyldum and starred Benedict Cumberbatch as real life British
cryptanalyst Alan Turing, who in the film is hired to decrypt German intelligence codes for the British government during World War II.
2.3Theoretical Framework
There are three sorts of theories used in the analysis. The first is theory of speech actstypes by Parker. It is used for identifying the expressions of indirect
and non-literal speech acts found in The Imitation Games movie. The other theories applied in this study aretheory of illocutionary verbs proposed by Leech
to elucidate the illocutionary function of a speech act and the ethnography of communication theory proposed by Hymes to analyse the context of situation.
