Abstract

In everyday conversation, while producing utterances, people also perform actions via those utterances. This discussed the use of illocutionary acts in the utterances of the main character in Prince of Persia: The Sand of Time. The aims of this research are to find out the context and classification of illocutionary acts used in the Prince of Persia: The Sand of Time movie and to understand the interpretation of the dialogue between speaker and hearer that uses illocutionary acts. The writer uses the qualitative descriptive analysis method. The writer collects the data from the script. The writer finds five types of illocutionary acts used by Dastan as the main character in Prince of Persia: The Sand of Time. They are representative, directive, expressive, communicative, and declarative. The writer has found and analyzed data points in the utterances of Dastan as the main character in Prince of Persia: The Sand of Time movie script that classified the Illocutionary Acts theory by John Searle, such as representative, directive, communicative, expressive, and declarative.
