Using qualitative descriptive techniques, the thesis uses theories from G. Yule (1996), J. R. Searle (1976), and J. L. Austin (1962) to analyze the data. The study reveals 133 speech act utterances, divided into locutionary, illocutionary, and perlocutionary acts. Additionally, 129 utterances of speech act functions were discovered, including 44 representative, 38 expressive, 41 directive, and 6 commissive utterances. The results provide a comprehensive analysis of speech act utterances and their functions, each categorized according to its category.
