A.
Background
of the Study
Considering the fact
that not all people like to read books, newspapers, or novels to learn English,
there is another way to learn the language. In this era of sophisticated
technology, we can use electronic facilities such as: computer, internet,
radio, or television to support our learning the language. We cannot deny the
fact that most people are more interested in watching movie or television than
reading a book. It is probably because understanding movie is easier and
practical rather than read a book.
In this study, I focus
my attention on one kind of entertainment that is movie, which its script can
be seen as a literary work. It expresses and communicates thought, feeling, and
attitude toward life . Movie is one of the most important means of
entertainment and education.
Arsyad (2003: 49) A movie
is a motion picture, often referred to
as a movie. Movie is a sequence
of pictures in
frame in which
the sequence is
presented through LCD. As a result,
we can see
that the sequence
of picture is alive and move, movie or movie is a play
that is presented and performed.
Nowadays, motion pictures or movies become the most popular
entertainment in the world, due to the modernization and the development of
technology. People prefer watching movie programs on television or movies on the
theaters rather than reading literature.
Rokni & Ataee
(2014: 2) Movie scenes can
offer visual portrayal
of abstract theories and
concepts taught in
management and social
sciences courses. Explaining
concepts through different movie
scenes bring theories
closer to realistic
situations. Movies can
also provoke good discussion, assessment
of one's values
and self if
the scenes have
strong emotional content. Cinema's ability to create a unique
experience gives it unbeatable power as a teaching tool.
Every person used the
language as the way to communication. Language influences human
life as the
bridge to have
relationship with other
people or society. Sometimes,
people do not
aware that they use the
language by making unstructured utterance in
communication. But it is not a problem because the most important is
that their speech
could be accepted
and there is
not any misunderstanding between
speaker and hearer
when they have
conversation or communication
Speech act
is the utterance
which speaker says
or speaker performs
in every speech. Speech act performs when people make utterances such as
apology, greeting, request, complaint, invitation, compliment, or refusal. The
study of speech act is very importance for us. The one importance of studying
speech act is to make us comprehend what message that discovered in every
utterance. Speech act also decided by the language ability of speaker to convey
the message in communication. Hence, we
can understand about the meaning of speech act clearly.
According to Vries
(2006: 1) Direct speech can
be rendered literally
by means of a so-called Quotative Construction in addition Archakis
and Lampropoulou (2006: 6) direct speech is better seen as a construction on
the part of the reporter which serves his/ hers current conversational goals.
Students should be aware of this notion of construction in order to adopt a
critical view towards direct speech and therefore explore the various purposes
of this construction
In
addition, when we
speak with other
people in communication
or conversation, the speaker does not only speak the source language but
the speaker must interpret the speaker’s meaning to the hearer. And the speaker
can make hearer to understand the meaning of that utterance by speaker said.
Speech act just perform in conversation or dialogue which performed by speaker
and hearer in the movie

of direct speech and after watching the movie, which reveals the condition the
writer tries to analyze Direct Speech Act in Sleeping Beauty Movie.
