Ilocusi Speech in the Cartoon "Jabir Ibnu Hayyan": A Deep Dive into Illocutionary Speech Acts

Introduction

The cartoon "Jabir Ibnu Hayyan" is a unique blend of entertainment and education, hiding valuable messages and lessons behind its engaging storyline and lovable characters. This study delves into the world of illocutionary speech acts in the cartoon, exploring the shape, function, and type of these speech acts. By examining the illocutionary speech acts used in the film, we can gain a deeper understanding of the messages and values conveyed through the dialogue.

The Concept of Illocutionary Speech Acts

Illocutionary speech acts, as explained by John Searle, are actions taken by the speaker through their words. In other words, illocutionary speech acts are the ways in which speakers use language to achieve a particular goal or effect. For example, in the cartoon "Jabir Ibnu Hayyan", the line "Hi Jabir, where are you going?" is an illocutionary speech act, as it is used to ask a question and initiate a conversation. On the other hand, the line "Father, I want to study chemistry" is a statement, which is also an illocutionary speech act, as it is used to express a desire or intention.

The Function of Illocutionary Speech Acts

The function of illocutionary speech acts, as explained by Geoffrey Leech, is related to the purpose of the speaker to convey their words. In the cartoon "Jabir Ibnu Hayyan", illocutionary speech acts function for various purposes, such as looking for information, expressing opinions, or giving instructions. For example, the line "Please get a chemical book" functions as an instruction, while the line "I want to be a great scientist like Ibn Sina" functions to express ideals.

Types of Illocutionary Speech Acts

Types of illocutionary speech acts, as explained by Wijana, are grouped based on the type of action taken by the speaker. In the cartoon "Jabir Ibnu Hayyan", a type of illocution speech such as questions, statements, commands, promises, and gratitude can be identified. For example, the line "Do you know what an atom is?" is an example of an illocutionary speech act, while the line "thank you for teaching me" is an example of an illocutionary speech act.
