Contoh Analysis Speech Act
Subject : Discourse Analysis – Speech Act
In this conversation, there were two university students,
as the interlocutors) who were joining TEFL II class in the morning. The situation
was quite silent because a presentation was being conducted by a group of
presentation in front of the class. While the presentation was being done, they
were chatting. Didin was handling his laptop (while laughing) and showing an
email to Wildan which contained a reply message from someone and I was sitting
between them. It was a response from someone toward a short story that had ever
been sent by Didin to that person before. The psychological setting at that
time was quite normal like other people following the class. Here are their
words:
Didin : “Wildan, ini Katanya konfliknya kurang digarap, meluas”
Wildan : “Nte’ ku kirimin opo’o Diiiiin…”
Didin :
“iyo ntar”
I
make an analysis toward this conversation using Barch and Harnish’s speech act
Theory. This conversation is a kind of conventional conversation which can be
identified through the agreement between the interlocutors. Because as I can
see that actually the situation was quite different. Didin directly gave and
shown that email to Wildan and not to me who was sitting next to him. It means
that actually there has been an agreement between both of them before. The
agreement to also send wildan’s short story to Didin’s friend (A person who
mailed Didin) to be corrected by that person. It can be identified through the
utterance given by Wildan which immediately uttered “Nte’ ku kirimin opo’o
Diiiiin…” He did not ask question what did DIdin mean like I did, or he did not
ask what is that to Didin. I directly asked to didin what did he mean by that
email. Wildan can directly response in that way because he had have an
agreement with Didin before. The agreement may be a promise to also send
wildan’s short story to the corrector. Wildan wanted his short story to be seen
and responded by that corrector also, because wildan might know the capability
of the corrector in writing short stories. Didin also did not start that
conversation by telling a story which might be this way “Dan, aku kan pernah
ngirim cerpen ku ke seseorang, dan ini respon dia”. He did not do that. It
might be possible for Didin to do that if that utterance given for me, because
I did not know what he is talking about by showing that email. While he was
laughing, DIdin intentionally uttered “Wildan, ini Katanya konfliknya kurang
digarap, meluas”. It means that actually Didin had assumed that wildan will
understand what he was talking about while he is showing the email containing
the suggestion for Didin’s short story. That is called as the agreement which
has been exist between the interlocutors. Therefore, this conversation is
categorized as Conventional.
