Abstract

Language is a key factor in terms of conversation tools. Through conversation, people can establish a good relationship and convey their ideas or thoughts with their minds. Thus, it is important to master some of the key elements of delivering effective messages to others. In this case, learning speech acts is the best example for people on how to convey properly and correctly messages to others. This research aimed to identify the illocutionary act by focusing on the main character, Joe Goldberg's utterances through the YOU TV series as data and to know which illocutionary act is the most dominant. It also intended to identify these types of acts using Searle‘s theory. The illocutionary acts become the main objective concern in this research. As for the research method, the researchers used a descriptive qualitative method in this research. The result of the data analysis shows that the researcher found the main character, Joe Goldberg used four types of illocutionary acts: representative, directive, commissive, and expressive. Additionally, the most dominant illocutionary act is representative 50.88% followed by directive 35.09%, commissive 2.63%, and expressive 100%.
