According to Chaer .
2 : .
Linguistics is often referred to as general linguistics, which means that linguistics does not only study a language, but it examines the intricacies of language in general, the language which is a tool for human social interaction.
While Aitchison .
said Linguistics can be defined as Authe systematic study of languageAy , a disciplined that describes language in all of it aspects and formulated as to how it functions.
From the definitions above, the writer can grasp that linguistics is a scientific study that analyze language from all aspects in order to develop and understand how it works, with the goal of using it as a tool for human social interaction.
Pragmatics Levinson .
3 : .
defines that pragmatics is the study of language use, that is the study of relation between language and context which is basic to an account of language understanding which involves the making of inferences which will connect what is said to what is mutually assumed or what has been said before.
Mey .
1 : .
states that pragmatics is interested in the process of producing language and its producers, not only in the end-product, language.
Pragmatics is not only focus on the sentence which uttered by the speaker or written by the /writer.
It also pay attention to how, when, where, who are the participants, and why an utterance stated.
Based on the explanations above, the writer can understand that pragmatics is the study of contextual meaning which also considers the process of producing utterance.
Illocutionary Acts Illocutionary act is called by the act of doing something.
It is not only used for informing something, but also doing something.
Illocutionary act is related to speakerAos intention.
In other words, every speaker has the intention through their utterance.
For utterance.
AuI promise to meet you at 9amAy , the utterance is not only a statement, but also binds the speaker to what she/he has just Therefore, the illocutionary act of an utterance above is the act of promising.
Every utterance created by people in their communication consists of three related acts that are locutionary, illocutionary, and perlocutionary.
Each act has different functions embedded in Since illocutionary act conveyed the force in delivering the intended meaning of peopleAos utterances, then the writer takes the illocutionary acts as her study objectives.
