This research was conducted to analyze the illocutionary acts in the dialogue
of the main character of the Zootopia movie. The objectives of this research are (1)
to analyze the types of illocutionary acts contained in the dialogue of the main
character of the Zootopia movie and (2) to find out the types of illocutionary acts
that are dominantly used by the main character in the Zootopia movie. This study
used the descriptive-qualitative method. The data used in this research is the
dialogue of the main character in the film Zootopia. Data collection was carried out
in the following steps: (1) download the film Zootopia; (2) watch and understand
carefully; (3) focus on the main character's dialogue; (4) read and observe the film
script; and (5) identify the main dialogue based on the type of illocutionary act.
After obtaining the desired data, the data will be analyzed by identifying dialogue
based on the types of illocution according to Searle's theory and then based on the
meaning of the utterance. In the final stage, the researcher concluded the types of
illocutionary acts used and the types often used by the main characters of the film
Zootopia. The results of the study show that the researchers found five types of
illocutionary acts by the main character of the movie Zootopia: representative,
directive, commissive, expressive, and declarative. The researcher found 110
utterances based on the results of the analysis conducted, where directives are most
often used.
