ABSTRACT Nilasari Riski. 2009. The Employment of Illocutionary Acts in Madagascar Movie. Thesis English Department. Faculty of Letters State University of Malang. Advisor Dr. Hj. Emalia Iragiliati M.Pd Keywords Illocutionary Acts Illocutionary Force Indicating Devices (IFIDs) Felicity Conditions Madagascar People always communicate their ideas feelings or opinions towards their hearer(s) through conversations. Conversation is the way to deliver the speaker s meaning. This study concerns with the discussion of the speaker s meaning particularly the second dimension of speech acts that is illocutionary acts in the Madagascar movie (2005). It focuses on the illocutionary acts of the two main characters in this movie they are Alex the lion and Marty the zebra. The researcher chooses these two characters because they have a lot of different ideas opinions and beliefs towards their ambitions lives and friendship even though they are best friend. Besides in their close relationship they often face some conditions which make them quarrel and fight. This study aims at answering two research problems. They are the usage of illocutionary acts that are employed by the two main characters those are Alex and Marty and the types of illocutionary acts appear in the utterances of conversations between Alex and Marty. The research design of this study is descriptive qualitative. The primary data of this study is the written form of the utterances in the conversations between Alex and Marty. In this study the theory of illocutionary acts by Searle is used as the basis to analyze the work and type of illocutionary acts seen in the movie. The results show that the illocutionary force indicating devices (IFIDs) do not occur in all of the utterances between Alex and Marty. Meanwhile the employments of felicity conditions always occur in the utterances of the daily conversations between Alex and Marty. Moreover the type of illocutionary act which appears frequently is assertive act. The assertives are applied in 131 utterances (66.84%). The second illocutionary act is the type of directives which are employed in 38 utterances (19.38%). The third one is expressives that are used in 17 utterances (8.67%) and the last is the type of commisives which is seen in 10 utterances or (5.11%). There is no declarative type stated in the utterances in conversations between Alex and Marty. From the five types of illocutionary acts assertives becomes the dominant form in the utterances between Alex and Marty because they mostly say the truth of ideas thought and feelings of their utterances. In addition the findings of this research are different from the findings of the previous researches. The differences can be seen from first the use of stress of words as the illocutionary force indicating device (IFID) does not always need ii the exclamation mark. As long as the utterance has an important point it uses the stress of words. Second Marty which is often commanded by Alex is able to have an authority over Alex. It is proved by his acts in ordering Alex which can be seen that Marty performs more directive illocutionary acts of ordering than Alex. Preparatory and sincerity conditions are the two felicity conditions which play the most important role in the directive illocutionary acts of ordering. Third the illocutionary acts of utterances of Alex and Marty are used to determine their characteristics. In this study Alex the lion has a lot of directive illocutionary acts of commanding. It indicates that he has a strong characteristic to rule others. However Alex s and Marty s directive illocutionary acts of commanding and ordering are against the value of a friendship because in these two directive illocutionary acts they have the authority over others. In a good friendship they should show solidarity intimacy and symmetry not authority over other friends. This study only examines the works and types of illocutionary acts in the daily conversations of a friendship between Alex and Marty in the Madagascar movie. Hence other studies are still needed to give additional information in the use of illocutionary acts in other genres of conversations such as in family business etc.
