There are three types of speech acts in pragmatics, namely illocutionary, locutionary, and perlocutionary. Illocutionary acts as a type of speech act function to say and carry out an action, which is divided into representative, directive, expressive, commissive, and declarative speech acts.

The research method applied is a qualitative descriptive method with free-involved listening techniques followed by note-taking techniques. The results of the analysis carried out were that there were 66 utterances including illocutionary speech acts, which were classified into 17 representative speech acts, 21 directive speech acts, 19 expressive speech acts, 5 commissive speech acts, and 4 declaration speech acts.
