CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background In social life, language has an important role to become a media communication and helps a million people to interact with others. In fact, language is closely related to society and the medium through which we participate in a variety of social activities. In other word, language is considered to be a system of communicating with other people using sound, symbols and words in expressing a meaning, idea or thought. Also, in communicating and interacting with others, people use language to understand with each others. In this case, they use the language to convey their feelings, purposes and their needs. As Kentjono states (1982:2)“Language is an arbitrary sound marking system which used by members of society for cooperation, communication, and identification of their selves.” Language is needed to make people easily understood what the purpose they make a conversation. However, sometimes people are unsuccessful to express their feelings, needs and intentions. Furthermore language also has an important role in literally. Basically, there are three kinds of literaries such as poem, novel and drama. In this research the writer tries to explore the drama itself. 1 The definition of Drama itself according to the pragmatics theory by James (1907:30) is a conversation which consists of four dimensions while related to the speaker or user such as how the speaker built the social relationship with the hearer, speech act, implicatur and utterance forms. In this case the writer chooses one of four aspects of drama conversation above, i.e. in Speech Act. As the subject matter, The Glass Menagerie attracts the writer to analyze the speech act especially the Illocutionary Act in this drama. By using the speech act theory, it helps people to analyze utterances from the perspective of their function, rather than their form before giving any reaction to it. And the writer itself tries to explore the Illocutionary Act in drama “The Glass Menagerie” by Tennessee Williams. 1.2 Identification of Problem The writer has identified “The Glass Menagerie” by Tennessee Williams as the object of writing. After identifying it, the writer finds some problems related to linguistic point of view. They are speech act and sentence type. 1.3 Scope of Problem Based on the various problems occur in the drama, in this study, the writer chooses Speech Act as the object and as the main object is Illocutionary Act. Therefore, the writer takes the title of this writing as “The use of Illocutionary Act in the Drama the Glass Menagerie”. 2 1.4 Research Questions Based on the background above, the writer focuses to analyze the problems below: 1. What types of Illocutionary Act presented by the characters in the drama “The Glass Menagerie”? 2. What are the roles of context of Illocutionary Act by the characters in the drama “The Glass Menagerie”? 1.5 Objectives of Problem Based on the statement of problems, the writer wants to get the targets below: 1. To describe the types of Illocutionary Act which are presented by the characters in the drama “The Glass Menagerie”. 2. To explain the roles of context of Illocutionary Act by the characters in the drama “The Glass Menagerie”. 1.6 Significance of Writing This study intends to help some readers who are interested in literature especially in drama. It will be more easily understanding the play from its language aspect. Furthermore, it is to understand what the characters mean by using the Illocutionary Act, analyze their sentence type and surely the utterance to recognize their characterization and interpret what the characters really means. At last, we could understand the whole drama easily. 3 CHAPTER II THEORETICAL BACKGROUND 2.1 Previous Study In completing this writing, the writer found at least three students had written about this topic. The first is. “Illocutionary Act in Two Radio Programs” (Frenky Himaya, 2003). The second, “Illocutionary Acts in William Inge’s play People in the Wind” (Febrial Astri Lara Sari, 2006). And the last “Illocutionary Act in Lorraine Hasberrys a Raisin in the sun” (Rahmah, 2003). The previous writers focus their studies on the Illocutionary Act in radio program, and play. Different from the first researches, the writer focuses her writing on another object. She tries to analyze the Illocutionary Act that is performed in drama. The second and the last researches just describes the sentence type and Illocutionary Act in their object (drama), but the writer tries to analyze the roles of context in Illocutionary Act by the characters in her object of writing. 2.2 Theory of Pragmatics In using language, the members of society have a pragmatic approach to interpret their language. It refers to Nababan (1984:2) states“...If we concern mainly to the relation among sign and its user (interpreter) we name it as pragmatics. We also name such linguistic study as sociolinguistic, particularly and studies of social aspect of language user and the rule of use” Pragmatics is the way of explaining language especially aspect of meaning which cannot be found in the sense of words, grammars also in structures as explained by semantic approach. 4 Keith (April 2000: 48) defines pragmatic as “The vast majority of pragmatics studies have been devoted to conversation, where the silent influence of context and the undercurrents are most fascinating...” Also Crystal (1941:21) says“Pragmatics studies the factors that govern our choice of language in social interaction and the effects of our choice on others.” As an addition Kasper (1997) states pragmatic as“The ability to comprehend and produce a communicative act is referred to as pragmatic competence.” As a result, the various explanations about the term of pragmatics above show us that pragmaticss is the study of language in the relation with the user or interpreter. Therefore, it is suitable with writer’s aim to analyze the play by using a speech act especially Illocutionary Act. 2.3 Speech Act Speech Act is a theory where the impact of an utterance analyzed in relationship between the speaker and listener’s behavior. This theory helps us to examine utterances from the perspective of their function, rather than their form. Furthermore, the philosopher J.L. Austin (1911-1960) claims that many utterances are equivalent to actions. When a person says: “I name this ship” or “I now pronounce you man and wife”, the utterance creates a new social. It is appropriate with the speech act meaning itself. Another definition about Speech act comes from Hurford and Heasley (1983:232): “Speech act is an action , and that language can actually be used to do things when a speaker in appropriate circumstances containing a referring expression, he carries out a certain act, an act of referring. Referring is typically a linguistic act, but we shall see that it is possible to carry out all sorts of other acts using language.” 5 Also Bach (1979) in Routledge Encyclopedia of Philosophy entry says that: “The theory of speech acts is partly taxonomic and partly explanatory. It must systematically classify types of speech acts and the ways in which they can succeed or fail. It must reckon with the fact that the relationship between the words being used and the force of their utterance is often oblique. For example, the sentence 'This is a pig sty' might be used no literally to state that a certain room is messy and filthy and, further, to demand indirectly that it be straightened out and cleaned up. Even when this sentence is used literally and directly, say to describe a certain area of a barnyard, the content of its utterance is not fully determined by its linguistic meaning--in particular, the meaning of the word 'this' does not determine which area is being referred to. A major task for the theory of speech acts is to account for how speakers can succeed in what they do despite the various ways in which linguistic meaning underdetermines use.” Based on the explanations above, Speech act theory explains the meaning of the speakers’ utterance to the hearer so they can do an action by hearing the speakers’ utterance. In Levinson (1983:236), Austin isolates three basic sentences in speech acts, they are: 1. Locutionary Act, the utterance of the sentence with determinate sense and reference. 2. Illocutionary Act, the making statement, offer, promise, etc. in uttering a sentence, by virtue of the conventional force associated with it (or with its explicit per formative paraphrase. 3. Perlocutionary Act, the bringing about of effect on the audience by means of uttering the sentence, such effects being special to the circumstance of utterance. 2.4 Illocutionary Act The second type of act discussed before in the theory of speech act is Illocutionary Act. It is the real actions performed by the utterance, where saying equals doing, as in betting, suggesting, commanding warning etc. As a Hurford and Heasley (1983:244) states that“The ILLOCUTIONARY ACT (or simply the ILLOCUTION) carried out by a speaker making an utterance is the act 6 viewed in terms of the utterance’s significance within a conventional system of social interaction.” Another statement comes from Schiffer's famous book 'Meaning' (1972, 103), in which the Illocutionary Act is represented as just the act of meaning something. For example: “Could you close the door?” In above utterance, the speaker doesn’t need answer yes or no. in fact, the speaker performs the Illocutionary Act of requesting the hearer to close the window. According to the conception Bach and Harnish adopt in 'Linguistic Communication and Speech Acts' (1979), an illocutionary act is an attempt to communicate, which they again analyze as the expressing of an attitude. While Stubs (1962:1520) says that Illocutionary Act is performed in saying something includes at such as ordering, denying and etc. On the other side, Crystal defines that “the illocutionary act is the core of theory of speech acts are performed as a result of the speaker making an utterance the case where saying, doing, such as betting, promising, welcoming, etc. Moreover According to Austin’s (1962:121) original exposition in How to Do Things with Words, an Illocutionary Act is an act (1) for the performance of which I must make it clear to some other person that the act is performed (Austin speaks of the 'securing of uptake'), and (2) the performance of which involves the production of what Austin calls 'conventional consequences' as, e.g., rights, commitments, or obligations. 7 Based on the explanations above, the writer can conclude that Illocutionary Act is the intention of the speakers’ in performing an utterance. In relation to the above explanation the writer describes the classification of Illocutionary act and types in Illocutionary Acts. 2.4.1 Classification of Illocutionary Acts According to Austin (1962:151-152) distinguishing five general class of illocutionary act as follows: 1. Verdictives, are typified by the giving of a verdict, as the name implies, by a jury, arbitrator, or umpire. For example, an estimate, reckoning, or appraisal. 2. Exercitives, are the exercising of powers, rights, or influence. Examples are appointing, voting, ordering, urging, advising, warning, etc. 3. Commissives, are typified by promising or otherwise undertaking; they commit you to doing something, but include also declarations or announcements of intention, which are not promises, and also rather vague things which we may call espousals, as for example, siding with. They have obvious connections with verdictives and exercitives. 4. Behabitives, are a very miscellaneous group, and have to do with attitudes and social behaviow. For examples are apologizing, congratulating, commending, condoling, cursing, and challenging. 5. Expositives, are difficult to define. They make plain how our utterances fit into the course of an argument or conversation, how we are using words, or, in general, are expository. For Examples are 'I reply', 'I argue', 'I concede', 'I illustrate', 'I assume', 'I postulate. 8 The Writer realizes that there are many types of utterance in speech act especially Illocutionary Act can be used in analyzing the data which the writer shows further. 2.4.2 Types of Illocutionary Acts 1. Direct Illocution is the performing Illocutionary Act when the speaker’s intention is similar to the meaning of the sentence that he/she utters. As Hurford and Heasley (1983:259) states that“The Direct Illocution of an utterance is the illocution most directly indicated by a literal reading of the grammatical form and vocabulary of the sentence uttered.” Crystal (1987:419) has another conception about direct illocution. He says that“Direct speech is the actual utterance spoken by a person.” For example: “Do you want to read a novel?” This sentence only contains direct illocution. It is an act of asking the hearer whether he wants to read the novel. 2. Indirect Illocution According to Hurford and Heasley (1983:259) statement that“The indirect Illocution of an utterance is any further illocution the utterance may have.” For simply, sometimes when a person say something he/she expect more than what the literal meaning of their utterance. For example: “Can you pass the salt?” 9 The direct illocution of that example above is an enquiry about the hearer‘s ability to pass the salt. And the indirect illocution is a request that the hearer pass the salt. Another definition is given by Crystal (1987:423)“Indirect speech act is an utterance whose linguistic form neither does nor directly reflects its communicative purpose.” In understanding indirect illocutions presented in the speaker’s utterance, we must rely on the conversation principle, such as cooperative principle. In fact, the speaker uses to make inference for the hearer. (Hurford and Heasley, 1983:281) also, we must rely on shared references and society’s conventions (Arwood, 1983:63-65) 2.4.3 Sentence Type in Illocutionary Act The writer added this part because when we analyze the illocutionary act we can’t separate it with the sentence type itself. Furthermore, sentences of each type, when uttered, tend to carry out typical linguistic acts. Hurford and Heasley (1983:241) are summarized in the chart below: Typical linguistic act performed by Sentence Type uttering a sentence of this type Declarative Asserting Interrogative Asking Imperative Ordering 10 The very names of the sentence types (declarative, interrogative, and imperative) contain thinly disguised Latin allusions to the acts of asserting, asking and ordering. Furthermore, this part it’s very important to analyze the play later before we decide the Illocutionary act. 11 CHAPTER III METHODOLOGY 3.1 Method of Collecting Data This chapter will discuss about the methodology in collecting data of this research. The writer uses library research for collecting the data. By this method, the writer gains and selects the information concerning with the theory of her research. In this case, the writer reads some books and literatures to complete the writing. For this aim, the writer uses some techniques of collecting data, in follows: 1. Identification First, the writer reads the manuscript of “The Glass Menagerie”. Secondly, the writer identifies some utterances of character by numbering each of them. 2. Note taking After identifying the utterances which contains Illocutionary Acts, the writer takes and writes down the data according to the purpose of this thesis. 3. Classifications At last, the writer classifies kinds of Illocutionary Acts and types of sentence they have. 3.2 Population and Sample 3.2.1 Population Population of this research includes all the utterances in the play of “The Glass Menagerie”. 12 3.2.2 Sample From the population, the writer takes certain conversation contains of some utterances from the population. It was chosen by using purposive sampling, since the writer takes the samples which are appropriate with the purpose of this research. As the result, the writer takes 20 conversations to be analyzed. 3.3 Source of Data The identified data are taken from Tennessee William play “The Glass Menagerie”. Then, the writers use the drama to support her research. The Primary data were collected from the manuscript of literary work itself, Such as drama of “The Glass Menagerie” that analysis. 3.4 Method of analyzing data In analyzing data, the writer uses descriptive method and pragmatic approach to analyze and expose the data naturally, the writer follows some steps such as: 1. Read each of utterance in Tennessee William play “The Glass Menagerie” carefully. 2. Identify the utterance this performs the illocutionary act by numbering each of them. 3. Classify the illocutionary act of each utterance. 4. Classify sentence type of each utterance. 5. Analyze the illocutionary act of each utterance. 13 CHAPTER IV PRESENTATION AND ANALYSIS OF DATA In this chapter, the writer presents the analysis of Illocutionary Act which taken from a play entitled “The Glass Menagerie’ written by Tennesee Williams. Furthermore, before the writer begins her analysis, she tries to mention a short description about the play. 4.1 A short description about ‘The Glass Menagerie” by Tennessee Williams The action of The Glass Menagerie takes place in the Wingfield family's apartment in St. Louis, 1937. The events of the play are framed by memory - Tom Wingfield, as the narrator, usually smokes and stands on the fire escape as he delivers his monologues. The narrator addresses us from the undated and eternal present, although at the play's first production (1944-5), Tom's constant indirect references to the violence of the Second World War would have been powerfully current. The action of the play focuses on Tom, his mother Amanda, and his sister Laura. In 1937 they live together in a small apartment in St. Louis. Their father abandoned them years earlier, and Tom is now the family's breadwinner. He works at the Continental Shoemakers warehouse during the day, but he disappears nightly "to the movies." Amanda is a loving mother, but her meddling and nagging are hard to live with for Tom, who has already been grown man and earned the wages that support the entire family. Laura is a frightened and terribly shy girl, with unbelievably weak nerves. She is also slightly lame in one leg, and 14 she seldom leaves the apartment of her own volition. She busies herself caring for her "glass menagerie," a collection of delicate little glass animals. Amanda constantly dreams of the days long time ago when she was a young Southern belle and the darling of her small town's social scene. She enrolled Laura in classes at Rubicam's Business College, hoping that a career in business would make Laura self-sufficient. She discovers that Laura stopped attending class a long time ago, because the speed tests on the typewriter terrified her. After the fiasco at Rubicam's Amanda gives up on a business career for Laura and puts all her hopes into finding a husband for her. Amanda's relationship with Tom is difficult. Tom longs to be free - like his father - to abandon Amanda and Laura and set off into the world. He has stayed because of his responsibility for them, but his mother's nagging and his frail sister's idiosyncrasies make the apartment a depressing and oppressive place. Tom also hates his job. His only escape comes from his frequent visits to the movies, but his nightly disappearances anger and baffle Amanda. He fights with Amanda all the time, and the situation at home becoming more unbearable. Amanda, sensing that Tom wants to leave, tries to make a deal with him. If Tom and Amanda can find a husband for Laura, a man who can take care of her, then Tom will be free of his responsibility to them. Amanda asks Tom to bring home gentlemen callers to meet Laura. Tom brings home Jim O'Connor, a fellow employee at the warehouse. He is an outgoing and enthusiastic man on whom Laura had a terrible crush in high school. Jim chats with Laura, growing increasingly flirtatious, until he finally kisses her. Then he admits that he has a fiancé and cannot call again. For fragile Laura, the news is devastating. 15 Amanda is furious, and after Jim leaves she accuses Tom of playing a cruel joke on them. Amanda and Tom have one final fight, and not long afterward Tom leaves for good. In his closing monologue, he admits that he cannot escape the memory of his sister. Though he abandoned her years ago, Laura still haunts him. 4.2 Presentation and analysis of data Datum 1 Amanda (calling): 1) Tom? Tom: 2) yes, mother. In Datum 1, utterance 1) is an interrogative sentence. Then, the kind of Direct Illocution performed in this sentence is act of asking and the Indirect Illocution performed is the act of complaining. This is because Amanda directly asks Tom to come at the dinner table at the upstage area and indirectly complains to Tom why he’s not coming to the table. Contextually, Amanda and her daughter Laura are seated at a drop-leaf table without Tom, but they have to have dinner together. This is indicated by the Amanda’s statement: “we can’t say grace until you come to the table!” Utterance 2) is a declarative sentence. Then, the kind of Direct Illocution carried out in this sentence is the act of answering and the kind of Indirect Illocution performed is the act of ignoring. Tom directly answers that he hears Amanda’s calling and he indirectly ignored Amanda to come at the table early. This is because contextually when Tom said yes, he’s still not going to the upstage area to go for dinner. On the contrary, Tom also knows that his mother being angry with him. At last, he goes to upstage area then. This is described by the context in 16 the bracket when Tom answered his mother: “Coming, mother.” (He bows slightly and withdraws, reappearing a few moments later in his place at the table) Thus, this datum can be table as follow: Kinds of Illocutionary Act Actor/Actress Types of Sentence Direct Illocution Indirect Illocution Amanda Interrogative Asking Complaining Tom Declarative Answering Ignoring Datum 2 Amanda: 1) Resume your seat, little sister. I want you to stay fresh and pretty for gentlemen callers! Laura: 2) I’m not expecting any gentlemen callers. In Datum 2, utterance 1 is an imperative sentence. The kind of Direct Illocution in this utterance is ordering and the Indirect Illocution of this utterance performed the act of recommending. Furthermore, Amanda directly orders Laura to not move by her seat because Amanda wants Laura still look fresh and beautiful for the gentleman callers. Then, Amanda indirectly recommends to Laura for waiting her gentleman callers. This is because contextually when they had finished their dinner, Laura intents to bring the blanc mange but Amanda orders Laura to not going anywhere because she’s the lady of that time. This context is indicated when Laura says: “I’ll bring in the blanc mange” (he remains standing with his cigarette by the portieres during the following.) and Amanda responds: (rising) “No, sister, No sister—you be the lady of this time and I’ll be the darky.” Although Laura answers: “I’m already up.” 17 Utterance 2 is declarative sentence. The kind of Direct Illocution in this utterance is asserting and the kind of Indirect Illocution performed is the act of refusing. Furthermore, Laura directly asserts that she doesn’t expecting any gentlemen callers and indirectly refuses to see any gentleman callers.

It is indicated by the context in which Amanda’s statement: “Sometimes they come when they are least expected! Why, I remember one Sunday afternoon in blue mountain—“ (enters kitchenette) Thus, this datum can be table as follow: Kinds of Illocutionary Act Actor/Actress Types of Sentence Amanda Laura Direct Illocution Indirect Illocution Imperative Ordering Recommending Declarative Asserting Refusing Datum 3 Tom: 1) I know what’s coming! Laura: 2) Yes. But let her tell it. In datum 3, utterance 1) is a declarative sentence. The kind of Direct Illocution performed in this utterance is the act warning and the kind of Indirect Illocution is the act of complaining.

The kind of Direct Illocution is ordering and the Indirect Illocution of this utterance performed the act of protesting. Laura directly orders Tom to let Amanda telling her stories and indirectly protests Tom to not interrupt Amanda’s story and let her tell it. This is because Tom didn’t want to hear the repetition of Amanda’s story. In contrast, Laura supporting her mother to tell it because she knows that Amanda loves to tell them about her experiences with many gentleman callers. It is showed by Laura’s statement: “She loves to tell it”. Thus, this datum can be table as follow: Kinds of Illocutionary Act Actor/Actress Types of Sentence Direct Illocution Indirect Illocution Tom Declarative Warning Complaining Laura Imperative Ordering Protesting Datum 4 Laura: 1) Has something happened, Mother? (Amanda draws a long breath and takes out the handkerchief again. Dabbing process)-Mother, has-something happened? Amanda: 2) I’ll be alright in a minute, I’m just bewildered-(Count five) - by life.
