ABSTRACT
ASRI FIQANI NURUL ISTIQOMAH: A Pragmatical Study on Speech Acts
Found in “Shaft 2019”. S1 Thesis, Mataram: Bumigora University, 2020
This study aims to describe the form of Illocution speech acts and the effects of
Perlocution speech acts on the Shaft 2019 movie. This research was a qualitative
descriptive study, because this research contains utterances conducted in the
Shaft 2019 movie. The instruments used in this study were the movie and the
Shaft 2019 transcript which contains an understanding of speech acts in the study
of Pragmatic theory. Data collection methods were observation and note-taking
techniques. In the data, the analysis method used are data reduction, data display,
and verification.
The results of this study indicated that there are 4 forms of Illocution speech
acts used in the Shaft 2019 movie transcript with Perlocution effect at the end of
the dialogue. The four forms of Illocution speech acts are Representative,
Directive, Commissive, and Expressive. Representative speech acts have the
function of informing, asserting, describing, and claiming. The Directive speech
acts have the function of asking, warning, and suggesting. Commissive speech
acts have the function of planning and promising. Expressive speech acts have the
function of thanking. Then, at the end of the speech act resulted the effect of
Perlocution speech act, namely acting, explaining opinions, providing
explanations for rejecting opinions, answering questions, accepting offers, and
approving statements.
Keywords: pragmatic, speech act, illocution, perlocution.

CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
A. Background of The Study
The language used by humans in communication has the same goals and
objectives but with a different ways in accordance with the culture in which
the language is developing. Based on Sunaryo (Awalin, Sunaryo, & Dwi,
2012, p. 6) language in cultural structures turns out to have a position,
function and dual role is as a root and cultural product that also functions as a
means of thinking and a means of supporting the growth of science and
technology. The relationship between language and culture influences
situations and conditions in social life, as well as the communication process
in movies. Likewise with pragmatic studies in which discussing the language
expressed contains meaning in accordance with situations and conditions both
socially and culturally.
Firth states that language studies cannot be carried out without considering
the context of the situation which includes participation, actions of
participation, other characteristics of the situation relevant to what happens,
and the impact of speech actions that are manifested by the forms of change
that arise as a result of participant action (Dijk, 2006, p. 167) .There is more
found in the interpretation of speech acts than the meaning contained in the
speech itself. Therefore, language and speech act have an interrelated
relationship because their result in a communication process that can be
understood by the speaker and the speech partner.
In communication, there are speech acts according to Subandowo
(Subandowo & Sari, 2017, p. 26) are individual phenomena that are
psychological in nature and their continuity is determined by the ability of the
speaker's language to deal with certain situations by paying attention to the
meaning and meaning of the speech. This means that the speech act is used as
an action, when humans want something not only through body language, but
2
are also supported by giving utterances to the speech partner so that the aims
and objectives of the speaker can be conveyed properly.
Austin divides speech acts into 3 types namely Locution, Illocution and
Perlocution (Freeley, 1963, pp. 100–102). Locution is an expression that
states its meaning directly. Illocution act is the movement of the human body
followed by utterances in it. Then, the speech act of Perlocution is the final
effect of the utterance which has an impact on the speech partner. Illocutions
is one of the types of speech acts that has a type division in them, due to
knowing the intonations and objectives through Illocution speech acts,
knowledge of the speech acts is needed. Searle (Rahardi, 2015, p. 35) classify
Illocution have five types, there are Representative, Commissive, Directive,
Expressive, and Declarative. Representative focuses on what the speaker says
about what he is doing, the Directive relates to what the speaker wants to the
speech partner or others, Commissive focuses on the commitment of the
speaker to the speech partner in the future, Expressive is done with the
speaker who expresses his feelings, and Declarative is related to the actions
that will subsequently change. To find out the purpose, where and when the
utterance is expressed in context, it depends on how the hearer's interpretation
of what the speaker is saying. The context is also important as a determinant
of the hearer to know the meaning of the utterances are spoken by the speaker
because the context becomes stimulation and contributes to the interpretation
of the hearer in understanding the meaning of the speech.
The way the speaker gives speech is not only to directly face to face with
the speech partner but also with written language such as those found in
newspapers, magazines, books, novels, movie scripts, short stories, and many
more.1 The movie is one of the ways speakers speak their speech. As
Harimurti says, in the movie(Harimurti, 1996, p. 32) a mass media has audio-
visual properties and it can be used as an introduction for speakers to give
their speech to the general public. Sometimes, the utterances contains in the

Script. 2016. IAIN Tulung Agung.
3
movie, not always according to the rules of the written language that should
be, but more important than how the speech can be understood the meaning
contained in it.
One movie that contains a speech act is the Shaft 2019 movie. Shaft is an
action comedy from America in 2019 directed by Story Team and written by
Kenya Barris and Alex Barnow. Shaft 2019 is included in the movie industry
has long been produced. Some actors who portray the characters in this movie
are Samuel L. Jackson, Jessie T. Usher, and Richard Roundtree. This movie
became the fifth movie of the Shaft series and sequel in 2000 with the same
title. Movie reviews summarized on the Rotten Tomatoes website by some
fans of this movie and new audiences received satisfactory ratings. They said
that the Shaft 2019 was an old movie legend and was also admired especially
for old fans. The criminal theme highlighted by this movie is highly
recommended for the movie industry today which is underestimated by
critics. Then for Samuel L. Jackson who became the main character in this
movie displays an interesting performance and showed the original nature and
style of Shaft. The Shaft movie tells the story of three generations of the Shaft
family, detectives who investigate and solve crimes in Harleem. Other movie
with the same year, titled Avangers: End Game, the action genre, this movie
only shows action and a bit of comedy. The reason for the Shaft 2019 movie
as an object of this research compared to the movie Avengers: End Game,
because this movie contains prominent American comedy characteristics that
affect the analysis of speech act types. The relationship that exists between
American pop culture and pragmatic studies becomes interesting because in
American culture there are situations and conditions that affect the speech
acts of speakers along with the speakers' specific characteristics in giving
speech, in a relaxed and firm tone even though in a depressed condition.
There are many more types of speech acts expressed in this movie. This
movie not only contains various types of speech acts, but from the narrative
of the characters in this movie a lot can be learned. The object of this research
is the American comedy genre movie, which is a pop culture. This is reflected
4
in the theme of the Shaft 2019 movie which talked about criminality in
investigations. In addition, the Shaft 2019 movie is interesting to be used as
research object because The Rotten Tomatoes website gave a score of 6.2 out
of 10. While the audience gave a score of 2.9 out of 5. This shows that Shaft
2019 movie does not have a good rating from the audience. Even so, this is
the reason for this movie as an object of research.
B. Identification of The Problem
Currently, there are a lot of film industries that can be used as research
objects in the field of pragmatics. One of the discussions in the field of
pragmatics is the type of speech act that is in speech by two people who
communicate like the dialogue in a movie transcript. Therefore, one of the
films, such as the object of current research, is used to find out what types of
speech acts exist and the effects of these types of speech acts.
The first problem relates to what types of Illocution speech acts are in the
movie Shaft 2019. As explained in the previous sub-chapter, Illocution
speech acts have five types in them which are more complex, namely
Representative, Directive, Commissive, Expressive, and Declarative. The
speech act requires dialogue which causes the speaker's intent and purpose to
be conveyed to the speech partner.
The second problem relates to the effects after the Illocution speech act.
Actions or utterances in Perlocution speech will later have an effect on the
speech partners of the speakers. This is what proves that conveying the
speaker's intent and purpose to the speech partner requires action or speech to
support smooth communication.
C. Limitation of The Problem
To limit the object of this research, this research only focuses on
utterances that are included in the types of speech acts in pragmatic studies.
This research refers to the type of Illocution speech acts and the effects
arising from the act of Perlocution. The speech act taken for analysis starts
5
from the middle of the movie at 18:30 minutes until the end of the movie ends
at 01:43:05 minutes. In practice, this research examined by taken some data
that represented the types of Illocution speech acts and Perlocution speech
acts. Then after obtained the data, this research explained what types of
Illocution speech acts were found and how the effects of Perlocution speech
acts.
D. Formulation of The Problem
Based on limitation of the problem and also the background described
above, the research problem are formulated as follows:
1. What types of Illocution speech acts are found in the Shaft (2019)?
2. What are the effects of the speech acts of Perlocution in the movie
Shaft (2019)?
E. Objectives of The Research
In accordance with the research problem mentioned above, here are the
objectives of the research:
1. To find out the various types of speech acts of Illocution in the movie
Shaft (2019).
2. To find out the effects arising from speech acts of Perlocution
contained in the movie Shaft (2019).
F. Significance of The Research
The significance of research in this research divided into:
1. Theoretically
This research is expected to be a reference for further research that
has pragmatic studies and discusses speech acts. In addition, this
research is a form of contribution to the field of linguistics,
especially those that discuss speech acts in movies.
2. Practically
The results of this research can be practically used as a contribution
of thought to solving problems related to speech acts in pragmatic
6
studies. Furthermore, the results of this research are expected to be a
reference for the preparation of research with pragmatic studies.

CHAPTER II
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
A. Language and Culture
The language used by humans in communication has the same goals
and objectives but with a different ways in accordance with the culture in
which the language is developing. Based on Sunaryo (Awalin et al., 2012,
p. 6) language in cultural structures turns out to have a position, function
and dual role is as a root and cultural product that also functions as a
means of thinking and a means of supporting the growth of science and
technology.
B. Pragmatics
Various kinds of linguistic science are used in communication. One of
them is pragmatic. Pragmatic needs the intention of speakers. In other
words, pragmatic learning about the meaning discussed between the
speaker and the speech partner, its deal with Leech (Onwuegbuzie &
Leech, 2005, p. 280). Same with Levinson (Brown & Levinson, 1987, pp.
21–24) states that pragmatic has the relationship between language and
context that underlies the explanation of language understanding.
Communication not only runs smoothly with what is spoken by the
speaker, but relates to what is meant by the speaker in the utterance
expressed. This is supported by opinions from Hyman (Young, Diehl,
Morris, Hyman, & Bennetto, 2005, p. 81) pragmatic is a discipline that
studies the use of signs, which can specifically be interpreted as the way
people use language signs and the way language signs are interpreted.
C. Speech Acts
Austin applies the principle of speech act which explains speech act as
a central entity in pragmatics(Searle, 1968, pp. 19–21). Suwito argues that
if the speech event is a social phenomenon and there is an interaction
8
between the speaker in a particular situation and place, then the speech act
is more likely as an individual symptom, a psychological trait and is
determined by the ability of the speaker's language to deal with a particular
situation (Susmita, 2015, p. 29). In general, speech act is a way for humans
to communicate using language in which contains the intent and purpose
desired by the speaker to the hearer.
Speech acts according to Austin are divided into Locution, Illocution,
and Perlocution. However, in this research, the speech act theory used are
Illocution and Perlocution Theory. The explanation of the two types of that
speech acts are:
1. Illocution
Illocution speech acts are pronunciations of statements, offers,
promises, questions, and so on. This speech act has hidden meaning of a
word or statement. The example is “I am hungry”, means asking for food,
which is an Illocution act. According to Searle in Austin, the types of
Illocution speech acts consist of Representative, Directive, Expressive,
Commissive, and Declarative speech acts (Searle, 1976, p. 35). The
explanations of these types are:
a. Representative Act
Representative speech acts are those that show the speaker's belief in
the truth of thought expression and this carries the value of truth. For
example in conversations between locals and foreigners who ask for a
place. "Is Senggigi Beach a tourist attraction in Lombok?" This is a type of
pragmatic Representative who shows the truth indirectly.
b. Directive Act
The Directive speech act is the speech act that shows the speaker's
efforts in making the speech partner do something. Example of Directive
9
speech acts is, 'Please buy me sugar in the next stall!'. It is spoken directly
from the mother to her child.
c. Expressive Act
Expressive speech acts are expressing psychological attitudes or
statements from speakers. The speech includes gratitude, complaining,
congratulating, praising, blaming, and criticizing. An example is "Tired of
telling, but still not obeyed". The speech includes expressive speech
because as proof the speaker feels annoyed with the speech partner due to
not understanding the meaning of the words.
d. Commisive Act
Commissive speech acts are speech acts that express the speaker's
promise of actions to be carried out in the future. An example of
Commissive speech acts is "I promise I will not neglect this task". The
speech binds the speakers to carry out their responsibilities properly.
2. Perlocution
Perlocution speech acts are the results or effects caused by the
expression on the hearer, according to the conditions and the pronunciation
of the speech. This speech act is the attitude of a person towards a sentence
after hear or read something.
D. SHAFT 2019
Shaft is an action comedy movie from America in 2019 directed by
Team Story and written by Kenya Barris and Alex Barnow. There are
opinions of movie lovers and old fans in this movie from Rotten Tomatoes
website. Mentioned in the comments column, this movie received
criticism and impressions in the screening of this movie. Some negative
comments were spoken such as the lack of flashback in every incident
related to the previous year's series so that the new audience was less
interested, not in accordance with the expectations of the movie's fans so it
10
was considered boring and only interested in the beginning of the movie
session, many aspects lacked and unlike the previous movie, and the loss
of the characteristics of the main character John Shaft. Even so, there are
also some positive comments in this movie that the movie contains
differences about race, authority, age, gender, masculinity are interesting
talking points. The humor presented is not boring. The main character gets
a bigger role in the story so that it develops from the previous series.
E. Relevant Studies
A research moved from another research. This is intended as a
benchmark for the research being reviewed at this time. A review of other
research is very important to look for the relevance of past research to be
carried out. In addition, a review of previous research can be used to look
for comparisons to avoid plagiarism.
The first research, which was related to this research was made by Rani
Violeta, student of the Islamic State University Raden Intan Lampung with
the title Speech Act Analysis of The Main Character in Maleficent Movie
Script by Jane Mctee conducted in 2019. The purpose of this research was
to determine the type of speech act on the main character, Malficent,
which is contained in the Maleficent movie transcript. In this research,
Illocution speech acts are the focus of research because this is one of the
most important in speech acts and depends on the intention of the speaker.
This research uses a qualitative descriptive method to describe and analyze
the types of speech acts in movie transcripts, then classify them according
to the concept of John R. Searle's theory which contains Illocution speech
acts. In this research, it was found that Maleficent used all types of
Illocution speech acts, namely Representative, Declarative, Commissive,
Directive, and Expressive. This research has same discussion to analyze
types in movies that produce type of Illocution speech acts and throughout
the movie, there are types of speech acts, namely Representative,
11
Commissive, Expressive, Declarative, and Directive. The only difference
is that the characters that were taken are the main characters.
The second research, a research from Defina in 2018 entitled Tindak
Tutur Ekspresif pada Anak-anak Saat Bermain Bola di Lapangan. This
research aims to analyze the expressive focus of speech acts produced by
children while playing. The ethnographic communication research method
applied and was conducted at the Klender National Housing Agency, East
Jakarta. Data collection techniques based on observation. From the results
of the research, obtained the distribution of expressive speech acts issued
by children while playing football, can be identified into six utterances.
This research has same discussion that this film has one type of speech act
is Expressive discussed in depth.
The third research, researched by Vany Amanda and Leni Marlina who
are both English Department students, Padang State University entitled
Directive Speech Acts Used in Frozen Movie Transcript in 2018. This
research focuses on speech acts in the Frozen movie. This research is a
descriptive qualitative research. The purpose of this research was to
identify speech acts that exist in the frozen movie. Data analysis is based
on speech act theory found in the movie. The data in this research contain
speech acts (Suggesting, Asking, Requesting, and Stating). The data
source of this research is the movie transcript of Frozen. In analyzing data,
it is grouped from certain types based on Levinson's theory of speech act
types. The results found are 33 data. Found 4 classifications of directive
speech acts. The equation in this research is to classify the transcript data
so that the speech act type is found while the difference in this research is
only to take directive speech. This is used as a benchmark for classifying
types of speech acts.
The fourth research, Yayuk Sebtiana (2018), entitled “Tuturan Lokusi,
Ilokusi, dan Perlokusi dalam Interaksi Pembelajaran Siswa Kelas VII di
SMP Negeri 2 Jumapolo". The results of this research that there are
various types of speech acts that are included in the Locution, Illocution,
12
and Perlocution sections that exist during learning at the school. This
research uses descriptive qualitative method. The data in this research are
speeches which contain acts of Locution, Illocution, and Perlocution in the
interaction of class VII students learning at SMP Negeri 2 Jumapolo in
class VII A-VII F. The source of the data in this research is the speech
interaction between students in learning at SMP Negeri 2 Jumapolo. Data
collection techniques used in this research were observation and taking
note techniques. Contributions in this related research is to be additional
information on the form of speech acts of Locution, Illocution, and
Perlocution.
The last research that became a reference was a research by Andreas
Dwi Yunianto (2017) titled "Bentuk Tindak Tutur Ilokusi dalam Program
Sentilan-Sentilun". This research focuses on Illocution speech acts on
television shows. This research aims to examine the Ilokusi speech acts in
the Sentilan Sentilun program. The research subjects were Sentilan
Sentilun programs or videos on the Metro TV channel. Research includes
descriptive qualitative research, because this research contains speech that
was conducted on the Sentilan Sentilun program.This research is taken as a
reference because it is used as evidence that Illocution speech acts have a
type of speech in them. The results of this research are Illocution speech
acts, namely Directive, Declarative, Expressive, and Representative.
From those previous researches above, the fundamental difference are
the object of research with different movie genres. Then the reasons for the
five journals to be used as reference material are as to be reference for
analysis, additional information, and ways to analyze. In addition, the
existing references have been published in the last three years, so they are
still new to be used as references for the renewal of research results later.

F. Conceptual Framework
Figure 1. Conceptual Framework
Through the conceptual framework above, it can be shows that the
process of analyzing this research is first, in the pragmatic field, which is
studied the meaning discussed between the speaker and the speech partner,
its deal with Leech (Onwuegbuzie & Leech, 2005, p. 280). Therefore, the
object used is the utterances in the Shaft 2019 movie transcript spoken by
every character in this movie. Furthermore, according to the theory speech
acts by Austin (Margetts & Austin, 2007, pp. 100–102) are divided into
Pragmatic based on Searle

locution, illocution, and perlocution. But the focus of this research is on
speech acts of illocution and perlocution. Then, the analysis in the
discussion later discusses the types of speech acts that exist in illocution
according to Searle in Austin, the types of speech acts consist of
Representative, Directive, Expressive, Commissive, and Declarative
speech acts (Searle, 1976, p. 35) and regarding the effects of Perlocution
caused.

CHAPTER III
RESEARCH METHOD
This research is descriptive qualitative research method for describing and
explaining reality that is used in research. According to Lexy J.
Moleong(Moleong, 2017, p. 6) , qualitative research method is a research that
intends to understand the phenomena experienced by research subjects. The
instrument used in this research are Shaft 2019 movie and its transcript. In this
case the phenomenon used is the movie transcript in Shaft (2019). Instrument is a
tool that is chosen and used in research that aims to collect data so that these
activities become systematic and facilitate the research process (Arikunto, 2006,
p. 203). The data source used in this research are speech uttered by each character
in Shaft 2019 movie, which includes the type of Illocution speech acts and effects

judgments according to attitudes, opinions, and behavior. In collecting the
data, this research uses qualitative research methods in collecting and
analyzing data. According to Lexy J. Moleong (Moleong, 2017, p. 6) ,
qualitative research method is a research that intends to understand the
phenomena experienced by research subjects. This research focuses on
finding the type of Illocution speech acts and the effects of perlocution

B. Data Source
According to Moleong (Moleong, 2017, p. 6) the source of qualitative
data are speech and written language that have been researched and
observed so that the aims and objectives conveyed by the object can be
16

character in Shaft 2019 movie, which includes the type of Illocution speech
acts and effects are caused through Perlocution speech act.
C. Techniques and Data Collection
The techniques in collecting data in this research were the Observation
and Taking Note. The Observation (Simak) method according to Mahsun,
the way used to obtain data by listening to the use of language(Mahsun,
2011, p. 29). The steps to collecting data in this research are:
1. Watching the film to identify the utterances of the speakers in the
dialogue in the movie Shaft (2019).

and perlocution.
b. Gave a separation mark for each utterance so that it is not mixed
with Illocution acts and Perlocution acts.

CHAPTER IV
FINDINGS AND DISCUSSIONS
The results of the data analysis divided thorough analysis that focused on the
speech acts found in the Shaft 2019 movie transcript. The analysis is carried out
based on the theory used.
A. Findings
Figure 2. Shaft Movie Poster
In the fourth chapter, after the data was collected, then it was analyzed
every speech uttered by the characters in the Shaft 2019 movie. The data has
been analyzed based on Searle's theory which divided the types of Illocution
speech acts and analyzes the effects of Perlocution speech acts. There were
four types of Illocution speech acts spoken, including Representative,
Directive, Commissive, Expressive. The five types were described by Searle
(Searle, 1976, p. 35), and in this research, the four types of Illocution speech
acts were found in the movie. Then Perlocution speech has an influential
effect on the speech partner so that it takes an action or agrees with what is
expressed by the speaker. The characters collected by the data for this
research are John Shaft, John Shaft II, Sasha Arias, John “JJ” Shaft, Bennie
Rodriguez, Manuel Orozco, Freddie P., Cutty, and Sergeant Keith Williams.
19
In the transcript of this film, the data taken are 100 excerpts which are
included in the speech acts of Illocution and Perlocution. But in this
research, only 25 excerpts were analyzed as evidence that various types of
Illocution speech acts and the effects of Perlocution had been found.
Illocution and Perlocution speech acts found were Representative with 13
data, Directive as much as 7 data, Commissive with 3 data, and Expressive
as much as 2 data. Several types of Illocution speech acts were found along
with the Perlocution effect caused in speech events, such as:
1. Representative speech acts were found to have the functions of
Informing (stating something), Asserting (emphasizing doing
something), Describing (explaining something), and Claiming (stating a
state).
2. The Directive's speech acts were found to have the functions of Asking
(asking something), warning (giving a warning), and suggesting
(suggesting something).
3. Commissive speech acts were found to have the function of Planning
(suggesting something), and Promising (promising to do something).
4. Expressive speech acts found to have a Thanking function.
The existing Perlocution effect is an action, an explanation given to
strengthen an opinion, explain the intent and purpose of denying,
directly or indirectly answering questions, accepting offers, and
agreeing to offers.
B. Discussions
In the analysis, Illocution and Perlocution speech acts are explained
based on Searle's theory and these theories serve as guidelines for showing
Illocution speech acts and the effects of Perlocution speech acts which were
expressed after the Illocution speech acts in the transcript of the Shaft 2019
movie. The answers from research problems will be combined in each
points in this chapter. In this research, four types of Illocution speech acts
were found, namely Representative, Directive, Expressive, and
20
Commissive. Then, the effect caused by the Illocution speech act becomes
Perlocution speech act so that the speech partner does or agrees to what is
said by the speaker. The following statements are analysis of the types of
Illocution speech acts and the Perlocution effects that arise at the end of
each speech event:
1. Representatives Act (informing, asserting, describing, and claiming)
Representative according to Searle (Searle, 1976, p. 35) is a speech act
that binds the speaker to the truth of what is said. Representative is a
statement uttered by someone who causes the speaker to be responsible for
what has been said. These types include asserting, informing, prohibiting,
describing, and claiming.
a. Informing
Representative speech acts in its function to inform something
conveyed by a speaker by believing the truth they know, or explaining,
telling what they know to their speech partner. In the transcript of this
movie, the analysis of informing utterances are explained:
Excerpt 1
John “JJ” Shaf : Yeah, Manny.
Manny Orozco : Name’s Manuel. Only my friends call me Manny.
And you and me… We ain’t friends, are we?
John “JJ” Shaft : No. No, we’re not.
Manny Orozco : Oh, we ain’t friends?
John “JJ” Shaft : You know, I came here to ask you about somebody
who’s a mutual friend. So that’s gotta count for
something, right? Here, let me just…(reached into
his pocket)
This speech act was expressed by Manny when he was inside the
drug transaction headquarters which is his territory. The partner in this
dialogue is John "JJ" Shaft. This dialogue occurs when JJ is looking
for Manny to ask whether Karim's death was due to the transaction
made with Manny. From Manny’s expression, he seemed to state that
21
he was the owner of the place by emphasizing the mention of his own
name so as a new person he didn't know, he didn't like people calling
his first name like that. In conveying the aims and objectives, this
dialogue is conveyed directly, not through any media. The norm
highlighted in this dialogue is how someone feels disrespectful when
they go to other people's territory. The type of speech in this dialogue
is conversation between characters.
Figure 3. Informing Act
The utterance was included in Informing because Manny stated that he
was Manuel or Manny whom JJ mentioned. The speech event was
carried out by JJ and Manny with the effect of Perlocution because
Manny answered JJ's call directly so that the speaker's intention was
conveyed.
Excerpt 2
Sasha Arias : Like you ain’t got a gun. That’s funny.
John “JJ” Shaft : No. Like, I’m not a gun guy.
Sasha Arias : Not a gun guy? JJ, you’re in the FBI. Even I have a gun.
And I live in the nice part of Brooklyn.
John “JJ” Shaft : Do you know that most gunshot wounds are self-
inflicted? Statistically speaking, you’re safer without
one.
John “JJ” Shaft talked to Sasha Arias after he woke up from fainting. It
seems that they are talking about weapons. From the suppression of voice
by John “JJ” Shaft, it can be seen that as an FBI agent, he gave information
about the dangers of carrying weapons. This dialogue is included in the
speech acts of Illocution and Perlocution. Speaker and speech partner speak
22
face-to-face. The variety of language used is spoken language. The existing
speech is a Representative who has a function as Informing. The
relationship between speaker and speech partner is a childhood friend.
Figure 4. Informing Act
JJ and Sasha in this speech event are in the hospital room where Sasha
works. This speech is information provided by JJ as an FBI who
understands that without carrying a gun, people can avoid being shot. This
speech has a Perlocution effect, which shows a reply to a statement denied
by the speech partner, thereby showing his disapproval of Sasha's
possession of the gun.
Excerpt 3
John Shaft II : I think what you’re trying to say is “thank you”.
John “JJ” Shaft : Yeah. Right. Thanks. Could you drop me off, please? I
think coming to you was a mistake. I’ll take it from here.
John Shaft II : Take what from here?
John “JJ” Shaft : I’m going to Brothers Watching Brothers. See what I can
find out.
John “JJ” Shaft talks to John Shaft II in the car after making the first
investigation. On their way, they are seen arguing over JJ’s plans to go
alone. This dialogue is a speech of Illocution and Perlocution. The speaker
uses emphasis on the tone of the speech to indicate that it is important. The
variety of language used is spoken language. Speaker and speech partner
have a father-son relationship.
23
Figure 5. Informing Act
This speech event took place in the car belonging to John Shaft II. The
speech was included in the Representative to inform that JJ will go to the
Brothers Watching Brothers building to find more information there. The
Perlocution effect caused by the speaker's direct questions has been
understood by the speech partner so that the statement was answered.
b. Asserting
In a representative speech act, the speaker shows what they believe to
the speech partner. In the transcript of the 2019 Shaft movie, analysis of
the speech which are asserting will be explained below:
Excerpt 4
John “JJ” Shaft : It’s kinda hard for it to escalate into a shootout when you
don’t have a gun.
John “JJ” Shaft : No. Like, I’m not a gun guy.
Sasha Arias : Not a gun guy? JJ, you’re in the FBI. Even I have a gun.
The dialogue was held in a hospital room where Sasha Arias worked.
After cleaning the wound on John’s forehead, they talk about weapons. It
can be seen in Sasha’s expression that she asserts that even she is a
woman, she has a weapon. So, even if you feel you are in a safe situation,
you should be able to protect yourself with weapons. The speech act was
carried out in direct dialogue. The relationship between speaker and
speech partner is that they are friends so that the language used is informal.
24
Figure 6. Asserting Act
The speech act that occurred between JJ and Sasha was included in the
category of Representative. The speech which is an Asserting
Representative is a statement uttered by Sasha. This statement includes
asserting because he asserts that even though she is not a member of the
FBI, she even has a gun. The Perlocution effect generated in this dialogue
is when the speaker delivers a statement, this is denied by the speech
partner by explaining that speakers generally have a gun because of their
job as an FBI.
Excerpt 5
John Shaft II : No matter how hard your mom tried to kill that family shit
in you, those Shaft swimmers found their way all the way
up in that pussy, didn’t they? Come on. How far along is
she? How much you need?
John “JJ” Shaft : No, there’s no she. I need to hire you. I need you help
for case.
The setting for this dialogue is in the John Shaft II workplace. John
Shaft II prepares to give money to John “JJ” Shaft after he tells him that he
needs help. Thinking that all the children look like their father, he gives
money to JJ for helping him with his problems of women. But JJ
emphasized that the problem he faced were not because of women. He
needs the help of his father who is a detective to help him solve cases. The
speech acts in this dialogue are the speech acts of Illocution and
Perlocution. The language used in the conversation is non-formal
language. The dialogue is a variety of spoken language. The dialogue
25
contains Asserting to emphasize that what is being discussed is very
important and not trivial.
Figure 7. Asserting Act
This speech event was conducted in John Shaft II's office. The
utterance was included in Asserting because JJ emphasized that John Shaft
II's suspicion was not true. He stressed that the problems he had were not
related to women or material things but that he needed John Shaft II's help
to carry out an investigation. The resulting Perlocution had the effect of
directly refuting the questions posed by the speaker.
Excerpt 6
John “JJ” Shaft : I’m going to Brothers Watching Brothers. See what I can
find out.
John Shaft II : Fuck that! We are going to Brothers Watching Brothers.
John “JJ” Shaft : We?
John Shaft II : Yeah, we. If you’re gonna pursue this investigations.
I’mma have to babysit your ass.
John “JJ” Shaft argues with John Shaft II on their way to the place of
the next investigation di dalam mobil milik John Shaft II. In the
conversation, they argue about JJ’s plan to go alone to the next
investigation site. The emphasis is that John Shaft II has to look after his
child like a baby, but in reality, a father wants to protect his child from
harm without saying it outright. The language used is spoken language.
The norm in this dialogue is how a father cares and takes care of his child
even though the child is an adult. The dialogue reflects the figure of a
father towards his child.
26
Figure 8. Asserting Act
The speech act was carried out by JJ and John Shaft II on their way to
the Brothers Watching Brothers building to conduct an investigation. This
speech is a Representative who has an Asserting function in terms of
emphasizing that JJ must be supervised by John Shaft II. The Perlocution
effect that exists in this dialogue is that the speech partner directly answers
the speaker's questions by explaining the reasons why he should supervise
and protect the speaker.
Excerpt 7
John Shaft II : You know, I’m trying to give homeboy the benefit of the
doubt, but that motherfucker is annoying.
John “JJ” Shaft : I need to find out how much zakat it’s gonna take to
build one of those.
John Shaft II and John “JJ” Shaft were kicked out of the mosque
because of their investigation. In front of the mosque, although JJ has an
American culture that when annoyed uses harsh words, but when he was
there, he tried to emphasize his purpose in carrying out investigations
using polite language. In contrast to John Shaft II, who remains relaxed
using his daily language (harsh words). The instrument used was a variety
of spoken language. The dialogue has an Asserting function to reaffirm
their interests towards that place. The dialogue is a conversation between
father and son which aims to carry out an investigation.
27

effect caused is a direct answer issued by the speech partner to the
speaker's question about what to do when the incident occurs.

obtained from other people to their speech partners. In the transcript of
the Shaft 2019 movie, the speech analysis in the form of describing

The setting for this dialogue is when they are in a room at the
hospital. After cleaning the wound on John’s forehead, they talk about
weapons. Then Sasha explained the reason she did not believe that JJ

safe place, she still carried a gun. This shows that even if we feel we
are in a safe environment, we must always be vigilant about carrying
weapons to protect ourselves. The speech act occurs verbally. The
language used is spoken language. The norm in this dialogue is that
men should be more aware of threats than women. This dialogue is a

Excerpt 13
John Shaft II : Junior.
John “JJ” Shaft : Oh, damn, she’s strong.
John Shaft II : I think she’s ready to talk.
John “JJ” Shaft : Oh, it’s bleeding.
This dialogue takes place in the room where Bennie Rodriguez works.
Participants in this dialogue are John Shaft II and John "JJ" Shaft. John
“JJ” Shaft falls after being hit by Bennie Rodriguez. It seems that he fell

by him. The dialogue is included in the speech act of Illocution and
Perlocution. The situations and conditions that occurred in the dialogue
were tense as a result of the resulting fights. The language used is a

and pain so that he could state the hit he had received was quite hard.
Therefore, the speech partner stated that the woman was strong because it
caused his nose to bleed.
2. Directives Act (asking, warning, and suggesting)
Directive speech acts according to Searle (Searle, 1976, p. 35) is a
speech act which is meant by the speaker so that the speech partner
performs the actions mentioned in the speech. What is found in the
transcripts of this movie are stories in which the speaker indirectly orders
the speech partners to do what he says. Directive speech such as asking,
warning, suggesting, ordering, commanding, and requesting. There are
analyzes of the Directive's speech acts:
a. Asking
In the transcript of the 2019 Shaft movie, there are many types of
Illocution speech acts. The speech act in this section is a directive
whose function is to ask questions. The speech act analysis included in
Asking are:
34
Excerpt 14
John “JJ” Shaft : Yeah, Manny.
Manny Orozco : Only my friends call me Manny. And you and
me… We ain’t friends, are we?
John “JJ” Shaft : No. No, we’re not.
Manny Orozco : Oh, we ain’t friends?
John “JJ” Shaft : You know, I came here to ask you about
somebody who’s a mutual friend. So that’s
gotta count for something, right? Here, let
me just…()
Manny and bodyguard : (raises the gun in their trouser pocket)
John “JJ” Shaft : Did he came here, maybe last week, looking
to… you know, make a purchase from you,
did he?
Manny’s bodyguard : (emerge from the door and surround the John
"JJ" Shaft)
John “JJ” Shaft : Where the hell did he came from?
Manny Orozco : (motioned for his bodyguard to hit JJ)
Manny’s bodyguard : (hit John "JJ" Shaft unconscious)
John “JJ” Shaft came to Manny’s drug dealing headquarters. It can
be seen from Manny's reaction that he does not like people he does not
know coming to his area. The words spoken by Manny are used to ask
questions because he doesn't know JJ. The dialogue was delivered
orally. In fact, the dialogue reflects that it is not permissible to enter
someone else's territory without that person's permission.
Figure 16. Asking Act
The speech act "We ain't friends, are we?" takes place inside a
building in Manny Orozco's territory as a drug lord. At that time John
"JJ" Shaft was desperate to come alone without weapons even though
the area was classified as an area with a high crime rate. The dialogue
35
is included in the type of directive which has an Asking function. In
the dialogue, Manny asked indirectly that he did not know JJ but the
speech partner casually called him by a name that only a speaker's
business relations call his name like that.
Manny Orozco and his bodyguards thought John “JJ” Shaft was
going to take out a gun. Seen several of Manny's bodyguards came
around JJ before one of them hit JJ because of Manny's orders.
Figure 17. Asking Act
The event said "So that's gotta count for something, right?"
took place between John "JJ" Shaft and Many Orozco and some of his
men in the building which is part of the drug transaction territory
owned by Manny. The speech act was included in Asking because the
speaker asked indirectly that even though he was not the friend Manny
knew, whether he could come to that place. The effect of Perlocution
is an action by a speech partner who thinks the speaker will do
something that endangers their life so that the speech partner
immediately reaches into his pants pocket to get a weapon.
The speech act was "Did he came here, maybe last week,
looking to… you know, make a purchase from you, did he?" takes
place in Manny's building for drug transactions. The speech act is
included in the type of directive which is Asking to ask the speech
partner whether his friend has ever been seen or known by the speech
partner. The Perlokusion effect is that the speech partner does not care
whether he knows the person in question so he doesn't want the
speaker to ask about it and tell his subordinates to beat the speaker.
36
The speech act "Where the hell did he came from?" performed
by Manny Orozco and John “JJ” Shaft in Manny's building. The
speech act included Asking because the speech partner asked
indirectly how Manny's men were around him but he did not realize it.
The effect of Perlocution is that the speech partner gets hit due to the
question asked earlier because the speaker does not like the question.
Excerpt 15
John “JJ” Shaft : No. Like, I’m not a gun guy.
Sasha Arias : Not a gun guy? JJ, you’re in the FBI. Even I have a
gun. And I live in the nice part of Brooklyn.
John “JJ” Shaft : Do you know that most gunshot wounds are self-
inflicted? Statistically speaking, you’re safer without
one.
John “JJ” Shaft talked to Sasha Arias after he woke up from fainting.
From the conversation, questions arise about Sasha's astonishment why
he does not carry a gun wherever he goes even though he is an FBI agent.
The dialogue is a speech act of Illocution and Perlocution. The
conversation took place between friends. The language used is a verbal
variety. The dialogue contains a function to ask the certainty of what is
being said.
Figure 18. Asking Act
The thing that goes into asking is when Sasha Arias asks her indirectly
about her distrust of John “JJ” Shaft's utterance, which states that he is
not a person who has a weapon. The speech includes Asking because it
asks something so that the speaker can realize that the speech partner
37
does not believe what has been said before. So, the utterance which is
included in the Illocution speech act includes the directive for asking.
Based on the speech acts carried out by Sasha and JJ, the effect of
Perlocution was the speakers' re-explanation of the statement that having
weapons for self-defense was normal even though according to the
speakers it was not true.
Excerpt 16
John “JJ” Shaft : I need your help.
John Shaft II : Those Shaft swimmers found their way all the way up
in that pussy, didn’t they? Come on. How far along is
she? How much you need?
John “JJ” Shaft : No, there’s no she. I need to hire you. I need you help
for case.
This dialogue takes place in the room where John Shaft II works. John
Shaft II prepares to give money to John “JJ” Shaft after he tells him that
he needs help. The question that John said was the mind of someone who
thought that his son had come to him for money because he had problems
with women, just like he used to be. This dialogue is carried out face to
face. The discussion in this dialogue occurs between father and son who
have never met for a long time.
Figure 19. Asking Act
The speech included in the Directive act was when John Shaft II asked
about the intent and purpose of John "JJ" Shaft came to him at noon like
that in John Shaft II's office even though they had never seen each other
for years. The effect of Perlocution is that the speech partner does not
38
justify the question but answers it directly by explaining the intent and
purpose of coming there.
Excerpt 17
John “JJ” Shaft : You didn’t just break laws, you committed human
rights violations.
John Shaft II : So?
John “JJ” Shaft : So? I work for the FBI. I can’t be aiding and abetting
the city’s highest-profile sociopath as he just tears
through Harlem one drug dealer at a time.
John Shaft II :You don’t like the way the sausage is made, close your
eyes when you’re eating it.
John “JJ” Shaft : The fuck kind of metaphor is that?
John Shaft II : I think what you’re trying to say is “thank you”.
John Shaft II : We are going to Brothers Watching Brothers.
John “JJ” Shaft : We?
John Shaft II : Yeah, we.
This dialogue takes place in a car belonging to John Shaft II. John
“JJ” Shaft argues with John Shaft II on their way to the place of the next
investigation. In their debate, several questions were raised which
suggested that the investigation was so dangerous for JJ that John Shaft II
could not let him go alone. This dialogue includes the Illocution and
Perlocution speech acts. This debate took place between father and son.
The language used is a variety of spoken language. The dialog contains
questions about the speaker's request for explanation. The dialogue
reflects that the lives of the father and son often arise in debate.
Figure 20. Asking Act
39
The speech “so” was carried out in the car after an investigation into
the building owned by Manny Orozco. The speech is included in Asking
because the speech partner asks what the previous speaker's words mean.
The Perlokusion effect is that the speaker answers by repeating the
speech partner's question and then explaining the meaning and purpose of
the words he said earlier.
The speech act “The fuck kind of metaphor is that?” was carried out
by John Shaft II and John “JJ” Shaft in the car after investigating the
building owned by Manny Orozco. The speech is included in the
Directive in Asking because the speech partner asks what is the meaning
of the proverb statement uttered by the speaker. The Perlocution effect
that arises is that the speaker answers the speech partner's question as a
statement that cannot be uttered directly by the speech partner.
The speech act “We?” was carried out when John Shaft II and John
“JJ” Shaft debated whether they would continue the next investigation.
The speech is included in Asking because the speech partner asks again
the meaning of the statement uttered by the speaker. The effect of
Perlocution was that the speakers answered directly that they would go
together to carry out an investigation.
b. Warning
In this movie, the Directive's speech acts are found that serve to
provide warnings. The speech act analyzes included in the warning are:
Excerpt 18
John “JJ” Shaft : I’ll take it from here.
John Shaft II : Take what from here?
John “JJ” Shaft : I’m going to Brothers Watching Brothers.
This dialogue takes place in a car belonging to John Shaft II. John
“JJ” Shaft argues with John Shaft II on their way to the place of the next
investigation. The warning implied by questioning indicates that John
Shaft II was worried about JJ's plans at the time to go out on the
40
investigation alone. In the dialogue, there is a concern of a father on his
son who wants to travel alone in danger. This dialogue happened in
person. In fact, a father will always protect and worry about his child's
safety.
Figure 21. Warning Act
The speech act was carried out in a car belonging to John Shaft II.
The utterance is included in the Directive act because the speech
partner implies that the speaker is not allowed to do this through
questions. The Perlocution effect that is generated is that the speech
partner directly answers the speaker's questions, even though the
speaker's intention is to warn the speech partner.
Excerpt 19
Cutty : I remember seeing you at the funeral.
Sergeant Keith Williams : Everything is okay up here?
John “JJ” Shaft : Yeah.
Cutty’s two friends came to the reception desk. The question
indicated that it was a warning to those who came to the building that
Seargant Keith Williams had the authority in the building. Speakers
use language to commemorate someone who enters their territory. The
language used is a verbal variety. When entering other people's
territory, we should be polite and put ethics first. This dialogue shows
the problem when a stranger suddenly makes a fuss at someone else's
place.
41
Figure 22. Warning Act
The speech act was carried out by Cutty, Sergeant Keith Williams,
and John “JJ” Shaft in the Brothers Watching Brothers building. The
speech included a warning because indirectly the speech partner came to
ensure that it was their area that should not be disturbed because they felt
threatened by the two detectives (JJ and John Shaft II). The Perlocution
effect that arises is that the question has been answered indirectly with an
expression indicating that the situation there is fine.
c. Suggesting
In the transcript of the Shaft 2019 movie, speech acts have been
found that serve as suggestions to provide suggestions. The suggested
speech act analyzes are described below:

dialogue is to offer something to others. The offers in the dialogue are
usually used to get closer to stranger.
Figure 23. Suggesting Act
The speech took place inside the Brothers Watching Brothers
building. The speech is included in the type of Directive act because it
has the function of suggesting indirectly that the speaker stays there. The
Perlocution effect that is generated is a direct answer uttered by the
speaker on the advice of the speech partner to stay there for a while.
3. Commisive Act (planning and promising )
According to Searle (Searle, 1976, p. 35) Commissive speech acts are
speech acts that bind the speaker to carry out everything that is stated in
the utterance, for example planning, promising, refusing, and offering.
Through this type of speech act, it can be seen that the speaker will do
something in the future according to what is said. The analysis of the
Commissive speech acts found were:
a. Planning
In this movie, there are speech acts with the Commisive type which
function to state the next plan. Analysis of speech acts which includes
planning are:
43
Excerpt 21
John Shaft II :You don’t like the way the sausage is made, close your
eyes when you’re eating it.
John “JJ” Shaft : The fuck kind of metaphor is that?
John Shaft II : I think what you’re trying to say is “thank you”.
John “JJ” Shaft : Yeah. Right. Thanks. Could you drop me off, please? I
think coming to you was a mistake. I’ll take it from
here.
John Shaft II : Take what from here?
John “JJ” Shaft : I’m going to Brothers Watching Brothers.

purpose of the plan to do. The language used is a verbal variety. This
conversation is between father and son.
Figure 24. Planning Act
The speech act took “The fuck kind of metaphor is that? ” place when
John Shaft II was driving a car with John "JJ" Shaft. This speech is
included in planning because the speech partner plans to carry out the
investigation itself. The effect of Perlocution is that the speech partner
agrees with the speaker's statement that he wants to say thank you. The
speech act ” I’m going to Brothers Watching Brothers.” occurred while
John Shaft II was in a car with John “JJ” Shaft. The speech was included
in the Commissive type because the speech partner stated his plan to go to
the Brothers Watching Brothers building.
44
Excerpt 22
John Shaft II : Shaft. John Shaft.
John “JJ” Shaft : Ignore him. He thinks he’s the black James Bond.
John Shaft II : If that motherfucker was real, he’d think he was me.
John “JJ” Shaft : Please… Stop.
Cutty : What can I do for your fellas?
John “JJ” Shaft : I was hoping to talk to you about a friend of mine.
Cutty came to the reception desk inside the Brothers Watching Brothers
building. He introduced himself then asked what JJ and John Shaft II's
intentions were. Then JJ explained his plan directly to Cutty. This dialogue
occurred because the building owner heard the commotion in front of the
reception desk. Supposedly, as a guest, you must maintain courtesy when
visiting other people's buildings. This reflects the misunderstanding in
everyday life between the owner and the person who comes without
manners. The dialogue took place directly without intermediary media.
Figure 25. Planning Act
The speech act took place between Cutty and John “JJ” Shaft inside the
Brothers Watching Brothers building. The speech was included in
Planning because the speech partner conveyed his plan to come there to
the speakers.
b. Promising
Promising speech acts are Commisive acts because the speaker
convince someone to do, give, or arrange, or states that something will
happen. It can also mean letting someone know that they will definitely do
45
something. In this movie, the speech act analyzes that contain Promising
are:
Excerpt 23
Manny’s bodyguard : (emerge from the door and surround the John
"JJ" Shaft)
John “JJ” Shaft : Where the hell did he came from? Look,
I’mma… I’mma just get out of here, you
know. Manny Orozco : (motioned for his bodyguard to hit JJ)
Bodyguard of Manny : (hit John "JJ" Shaft unconscious)
This dialogue took place inside the building owned by Manny
Orozco. The dialogue in this film is about John "JJ" Shaft who intends
to only reach into his pocket to show a photo of his friend about what
is being asked to the speaker. Manny Orozco and his bodyguards
thought John “JJ” Shaft was going to take out a gun. After seeing
some of Manny’s bodyguard getting ready to take out their gun, JJ
promised to get out of there. The resulting speech acts are Illocution
and Perlocution. Speakers use pleasantries to create familiarity with
the situation. The language used is a verbal variety. The dialogue has a
function to convince the speech partner that the speakers will
immediately take action to keep the situation safe. This dialog shows
the situation when a criminal investigation is being carried out.
Figure 26. Promising Act
46
The utterance delivered by John "JJ" Shaft was a Promising in
Commissive speech act. The speech was included in the Commissive
because the speech partner promised to leave there right away. The
effect of Perlocution is that speakers feel disturbed by the arrival of a
speech partner so that after saying that the speech partner will soon
leave there, the speaker orders his subordinates to beat him.
4. Expressive Act (thanking)
According to Searle (Searle, 1976, p. 35) Expressive speech act is a
form of speech that functions to express or show a speaker's psychological
attitude towards a situation. The expressions are thanking, welcoming,
apologizing, condoling, and etc which are expressed in this speech act.
Apart from that, the Expressive act also expresses what the speakers feel.
In the Shaft 2019 movie, you can find speech acts in this category. The
excerpt in the film which contains expressive speech acts has the following
analyzes:
Thanking
This type of gratitude speech act is intended to convey gratitude,
because the speaker has been assisted or received help from the speech
partner. In this movie, the analysis in Thanking's speech will be discussed:
Excerpt 24
John Shaft II : You don’t like the way the sausage is made, close your
eyes when you’re eating it.
John “JJ” Shaft : The fuck kind of metaphor is that?
John Shaft II : I think what you’re trying to say is “thank you”.
John “JJ” Shaft : Yeah. Right. Thanks.
This dialogue takes place in a car belonging to John Shaft II. John “JJ”
Shaft argues with John Shaft II on their way to the place of the next
investigation. The statement of gratitude acknowledged by JJ, was uttered
by him after John Shaft II offended JJ who did not express his gratitude for
47
the assistance provided by John Shaft II. Dialogue included in speech acts
is an expression of gratitude. The language used is spoken language. How
to express a speech using a sentence that has meaning in it.
Figure 27. Thanking Act
The utterances included in Thanking are utterances uttered by John
"JJ" Shaft. The utterance is included in the Thanking because the word
"yeah" indicates that the speech partner is grateful to the speaker for the
help he / she got. This utterance is included in a thanking expression.
The Perlocution effect that has been generated is that the speech partner
directly agrees to what the speaker says, that he is grateful for the help
he gets.
Excerpt 25
Sergeant Keith Williams : Everything is okay up here?
John “JJ” Shaft : Yeah. Gentlemen…
Cutty : Meet Sergeant Keith Williams, Staff Sergeant
Eddie Dominguez. These fellas are friends of
Karim’s. They want to talk.
Cutty : Why don’t y’all come back? We’ll have some
coffee.
John “JJ” Shaft : Yeah, decaf for me.
In the building, when Seargent Keith Williams came with his friend
to ask about the situation there, JJ wanted to leave the place by saying
“gentlemen…” but Cutty offered to keep them to be there for drinking
coffee together. In such dialogue, this expression is usually said when
someone is grateful when they accept someone else's offer. When
someone offers something or action, we should say thank you. This
48
dialogue is delivered orally. This dialogue reflects the ethics of a person
in everyday life when someone is offered something.
Figure 28. Thanking Act
The speech occurred when Cutty offered them (John "JJ" Shaft and
John Shaft) to rest while talking at the Brothers Watching Brothers
building. The speech uttered by the speech partner is an expression of
thanking because from the word "yeah" he thanked the speaker for the
offer to drink coffee and then mentioned the type of coffee he wanted.
The effect of Perlocution is that the speech partner accepts the speaker's
offer by mentioning the type of coffee he wants.
Austin divides speech acts into 3 types namely Locution, Illocution
and Perlocution. Illocution have five types, there are Representative,
Commissive, Directive, Expressive, and Declarative. In the transcript of
this film, the data taken are 100 excerpts which are included in the
speech acts of Illocution and Perlocution. Illocution and Perlocution
speech acts found were Representative with 52 data, Directive as much
as 28 data, Commissive with 12 data, and Expressive as much as 8 data.
Based on the research findings and results, it can be shown that the
most dominant speech act found in Shaft 2019 movie is Representative.
This is because statements that are conveyed directly and get responses
from speech partners are found in every dialogue that exists. This
research takes the Shaft 2019 movie as the objects and the samples used
are dialogue which show Illocution and Perlocution speech acts.

APPENDICES
1.1 Synopsis
JJ Shaft is an FBI data analyst who recently graduated from his education at
MIT. Having high ambitions typical of millennials, JJ often forgets that the
bureaucracy in the government work environment requires him to have patience
and self-awareness in acting. His intelligence is sometimes even ignored just
because of his status as a new employee.
Until one day, an unfortunate incident is experienced by his best friend, Karim,
who died under mysterious circumstances. Knowing something was wrong, JJ
then chose to act alone to reveal the death. Knowing that he could only learn this
through his father, John Shaft, JJ then contacted his father to help him. Never
around as long as JJ was little to adulthood, John Shaft later agreed to help him in
return for his failure to carry out his father's duties in the past.
But not only John Shaft who participated in uncovering this case, the
legendary John Shaft Sr. then took part. Shaft senior who previously claimed to be
John Shaft's uncle in the 2000 film, turns to be John Shaft's real father and of
course JJ Shaft's grandfather. Three generations later gathered to solve cases
which turned out to involve many parties behind them. The case that later
sharpened Shaft Junior's instincts, as the successor to the charismatics Shaft
family.

John “JJ” Shaft : Ow!
Sasha Arias : Look, I’m just happy that you’re okay and that this didn’t turn into a
shootout or something.

have a gun.
Sasha Arias : Like you ain’t got a gun. That’s funny.
John “JJ” Shaft : No. Like, I’m not a gun guy.
Sasha Arias : Not a gun guy? JJ, you’re in the FBI. Even I have a gun. And I live
in the nice part of Brooklyn.
John “JJ” Shaft : Do you know that most gunshot wounds are self-inflicted?
Statistically speaking, you’re safer without one.

the way the sausage is made, close your eyes when you’re eating it.
John “JJ” Shaft : The fuck kind of metaphor is that?
John Shaft II : I think what you’re trying to say is “thank you”.

coming to you was a mistake. I’ll take it from here.
