Abstract

ABSTRACT Agustin, Dewi. Student Registered Number. 126203201013. 2025. A Pragmatic Analysis of Requestive Act in the Coraline Movie Transcript. Sarjana Thesis. English Education Department. Faculty of Tarbiyah and Teacher Training. State Islamic University (UIN) of Tulungagung. Advisor: Dr. Nurul Chojimah, M.Pd. Keywords: pragmatic, request act, request strategy, Coraline movie Language is a system that allows people to freely express their thoughts and feelings without any restrictions. In order to accomplish this, they require certain communication skills, such as the ability to say things in an understandable and clear way, which will help the listener accept the speaker’s message well. Pragmatics is the branch of linguistics that focuses on how the listener interprets the speaker’s meaning. Speech act is a subfield of pragmatics that studies how utterances performing some actions. The researcher in this study concentrated on the directive speech act known as a request. Requests are how people get other people to do something. In contrast to a command, a request gives the listener the option to accept or reject the speaker’s want. The aim of this research is to provide authentic material that can improve student’s performance in speaking classes, particularly when it comes to making requests. The formulation of research problems were: 1) Which request strategies are employed by the Coraline movie characters? 2) How are the sentence patterns of request strategy employed in the dialogue between the characters in the Coraline movie? The objectives of this research were to: 1) To understand the request strategies that the characters in the Coraline movie transcript employ. 2) To understand how sentence patterns of the request strategy employed by the characters dialogue in the Coraline movie. Research method: 1) The research design in this study was document analysis using a descriptive qualitative approach; 2) The data source of this study was the Coraline (2009) movie transcript; 3) The data of this study were all of the utterances in the Coraline (2009) movie transcript that contained request strategies. The results showed that in research question 1), all request strategies appeared based on the movie transcript, which were the main data in this study. From the request strategy that appears most frequently to the one that appears least frequently, including mood derivable, suggestory formulae, obligation statement, want statement, strong hints, mild hints, query preparatory, hedged performatives, and explicit performatives. Then, the results in research question 2) showed that the formal pattern in the mood derivable strategy found that 112 utterances followed a positive verbal pattern and 2 utterances followed a negative verbal pattern. Next, the formal pattern in the suggestory formulae strategy found that 13 utterances followed a positive verbal pattern, 2 utterances followed a negative verbal pattern, and 1 utterance followed a question tag pattern. . Then, the formal pattern in the hedged performative strategy found that 2 utterances followed question pattern and 10 utterances followed positive verbal pattern. Then, the formal pattern in the obligation statement strategy found that 9 utterances followed a positive verbal pattern. The formal pattern in the want statement strategy found that 9 utterances followed a positive verbal pattern. The formal pattern in the query preparatory strategy found that 7 utterances followed a positive verbal pattern and 1 utterance followed a question tag pattern. Next, the formal pattern in the strong hint strategy found that 6 utterances followed a positive verbal pattern. The formal pattern in the mild hint strategy found that 4 utterances followed a positive verbal pattern and 1 utterance followed a positive nominal pattern. The last, the formal pattern in the explicit performative strategy found that 2 utterances followed a positive verbal pattern. Based on the result of the research, the researcher wants to give suggestions for the students, teachers, and the future researchers. Students can further observe the types of strategies that can be applied in their approach to delivering the request. The teachers may use a few examples to teach speaking, particularly in the context of requests. Future researchers are advised to focus on a more focused approach to request, such as the hint strategy, which still rarely examined.
