dc.description.abstract | The study is about the use of directive speech act or Tindak Tutur Direktif (TTD) in the
official meeting events held in the vicinage of Javanese culture civic government by using a
gender approach. The data were collected by using the basic techniques of recording and
was continued to open listening for participant-interview. The collected data were analyzed
by using the techniques of intra-lingual and extra-lingual comparison together with the analysis
method of means-end. The result shows that, first, the forms of TTD can be classified into
9 categories: (1) to request, (2) to advise, (3) to lead, (4) to support, (5) to interfere, (6) to
offer, (7) to offend, (8) to hinder, and (9) to counter. Second, based on the technique of
speaking, female speakers or penutur Pejabat Perempuan (nPP) use the technique of literal
speaking (37,65%) and the non-literal one (62,35%). Based on the technique of sending
meaning, male speakers or penutur Pejabat Lelaki (nPL) use the technique of literal speaking
(39,68%) and the non-literal one (60,32%). Both nPP and nPL use non-literal techniques
more than literal ones. Third, based on the speaking strategy, nPP chooses direct
strategy (38,82%) and indirect one (61,18%). Meanwile, the speaking strategy chosen by
nPL, is (40,48%) for direct strategy and (58,73%) for indirect one. Therefore, the officials
prefer using indirect strategies in speaking. Finally, factors influencing the forms of the officials’s
TTD are: (1) who the second persons are, (2) what the social relation is between nPP/nPL
and the meeting audience, (3) what the social-societal status of nPP/ nPL is; and (4) the
topic being discussed. | en_US |
