Abstract:
Directive is one of speech functions. It is linguistic utterance intended to get
someone to do something. It can be conveyed less obviously and obviously that
expressed in variety forms such as imperative, interrogative and declarative. Based
on Holmes theory in sociolinguistics, there are some factors which affect the
speaker’s choice of directive form, those are social dimensions (status, distance,
and formality), gender, and routines of the task.
The objectives of this research are to classify the types of directive
utterances and analyze the factors affecting the use of directive form by the main
characters of Hotel Transylvania movie as well as the application of the study in
teaching speaking at tenth grade students of Senior High School. In conducting the
research, the researcher used a descriptive qualitative method. The data are taken
from the dialogues in the movie and they are explained descriptively. The steps of
collecting data are watching the movie, reading the script, taking the utterance,
giving a code for the data and organize the data into data sheet. To analyze the data
the researcher followed some procedure. The procedure are reducing the data that
is not needed, classifying data, analyzing and interpreting the data based on the
theory, as well as presenting the result of analyzing data descriptively.
The main characters of Hotel Transylvania movie performed 126 utterances
categorized as directive utterance which divided into 19 utterances (15.08 % data)
belong to less obvious directive and 107 utterances (84.92 % data) belong to
obvious directive. In detail, the obvious directive consist of 84 (66.67 %) data
belong to imperative form, 13 utterances (10.32 % data) belong to declarative form,
6 utterances (4.76 % data) belong to you imperative form, 3 utterances (2.38 %
data) belong to interrogative with modal verb form, 1 utterances (0.79 % data)
belong to interrogative with tag form, and there is none of datum belongs to
interrogative with negative modal form.
Finally the researcher hopes this research will be useful for the student to
enrich their knowledge on sociolinguistics. It is suggested for the teacher to give
the student more knowledge about directive utterance to enrich their ability in
communication. The researcher also hopes to other researcher to continue the study
of directive utterance in different objects.
