Strategi Tindak Tutur dalam Film “Miracle in Cell No. 7” Versi Indonesia

In everyday life, communication is not merely used to convey information, but also conveys specific intentions or actions that are realized through spoken utterances. In the study of pragmatics, these actions are known as speech acts, which can be performed through direct or indirect speech act strategies. These two strategies have different meanings and are understood based on the conversational context. The Indonesian version of the film “Miracle in Cell No. 7” was chosen as the subject of this study because it features various interactions among characters set against diverse emotional, social, and legal contexts, thereby allowing for the emergence of various speech act strategies. This study aims to describe the forms of direct and indirect speech act strategies and to explain the meanings contained in the characters’ utterances in the film “Miracle in Cell No. 7.” This study employs a qualitative descriptive method with data collection techniques conducted through observation and note-taking. The results indicate that direct speech act strategies are used to clearly convey intentions, such as commands and prohibitions, while indirect speech act strategies are used to convey intentions implicitly, such as empathy, polite requests, and expressions of regret.
