The design of this study is descriptive qualitative and the main instrument of this research is the researcher itself. From those three levels of speech acts, the researcher focuses the discussion of this study on illocutionary act since this is the central of central to the concept of a speech act. According to John R. Searle, speech act is often meant to refer just to the same thing as the term illocutionary act.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menjelaskan hubungan antara teori tindak tutur dengan prakteknya. Desain penelitian ini adalah deskriptif kualitatif dan instrument utamanya adalahpeneliti sendiri. Dari ketiga tingkatan tindak tutur, peneliti focus untuk menjelaskan illocutionary act karene illocutionary act merupakan fokus dari tindak tutur itu sendiri. Menurut Searle, tindak tutur sering kali digunakan hanya untuk menjelaskan illocutionary act.
