Abstract

This study deals with the types of illocutionary acts in Steve Harvey's interview video “Why do men cheat?”. This research aims to find out the illocutionary acts produced in the utterances used by Steve Harvey and the interviewer. A descriptive qualitative study was done by observing the utterances spoken by Steve Harvey and the interviewer. The spoken utterances were then analyzed based on the types of illocutionary acts, namely: representative, directive, commissive, expressive, and declarative. Illocutionary act analysis improved our knowledge of the speaker's intentions and communication objectives. s. The results found in this research: 14 utterances of illocutionary acts, including representative 5 utterances, expressive 2 utterances, declarative 2 utterances, directive 3 utterances, and commissive 2 utterances. Without understanding the illocutionary acts, misunderstanding, and false impressions can disrupt communication.
