Abstract

Bahasa juga memiliki fungsi untuk mengekspresikan perasaan dan emosi. Setiap individu memiliki ciri khas ketika mengungkapkan perasaannya, idenya dan pikirannya. Tindak tutur ekspresif adalah satu dari lima kategori dasar yang diidentifikasi oleh Searle (1976). Tujuan dari skripsi ini adalah untuk mempelajari fungsi tindak ekspresif dari karakter di seri televisi The Big Bang Theory sebagaimana seri tersebut kaya akan tindak ekspresi. Studi ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif-deskriptif untuk menentukan masalah studi. Penulis menggunakan transkrip dialog sebagai data utama kemudian menganalisanya berdasarkan teori tindak ekspresifnya Norrick. Konteks dilibatkan sebagai salah satu alat untuk menganalisa data. Sembilan subkategori tindak ekspresif teridentifikasi dalam studi ini. Mereka adalah (1) tindak menyesali (2) tindak meratapi (3) tindak menyelamati (4) tindak meminta maaf (5) tindak berterimakasih (6) tindak membual (7) tindak mengasihani (8) tindak menyambut (9) tindak memaafkan. Temuan dari studi ini adalah para karakter melakukan tindak ekspresif yang berbeda dalam menyatakan keadaan psikologis mereka disetiap situasi yang berbeda yang dimana dipengaruhi oleh personality dan latar belakang masing – masing. Penulis menemukan tindak menyesalkan dan meratapi yang dilakukan oleh para karakter memberikan tensi yang dinamik pada setiap adegan; tindak – tindak tersebut juga memengaruhi humor dan kelucuan disetiap adegan. Tindak menyelamati dan mengasihani memengaruhi emosi setiap adegan. Tindak membual menyebabkan tensi yang aneh dan kecanggungan diantara para karakter. Yang terakhir, tindak memaafkan dan berterimakasih tidak menunjukkan pengaruh terhadap dinamika kelucuan atau emosi disetiap adegan

English Abstract

Language also has its function to express feelings and emotions. Every individual has his/her own distinctive way to express his/her own feelings, idea and mind. Expressive speech acts are one of the five basic categories of speech acts identified by Searle (1976). The aim of this thesis is to study how the expressive acts function upon the characters in The Big Bang Theory Television Series as it is rich of expressive acts. This study used descriptive-qualitative approach to determine the problem of study. The writer used the dialog transcript as the main data and then analyzed it based on Norrick’s theory in expressive acts. Context was involved as the part of analyzing the data. Nine distinct subcategories of expressive speech acts are identified in this study. They are (1) acts of deploring, (2) acts of lamenting, (3) acts of congratulating, and (4) acts of apologizing (5) the act of thanking (6) the act of boasting (7) the act of condoling (8) the act of welcoming (9) the act of forgiving. The findings of the study are that the characters performed different expressive acts in delivering their psychological state in different situations which were influenced by their personalities and backgrounds. The writer found that the act of deploring and lamenting which were performed by the characters gave dynamics of the tension on each scene; those acts also influenced the humor and comicality on each scene. The act of congratulating and condoling influenced the emotion on each scene. This act of boasting caused some weird tension and awkwardness among the characters. The last acts, forgiving and thanking didn’t seem to influence the dynamics of comicality or even emotion into the scenes where it was found. Each of them was found once and each of them was spoken in private.
