<![CDATA[Pragmatics is one of the branches of semiotics, alongside semantics and syntax, that examines the relationship between signs and their usage. Speech acts, or activities involving a speaker and a listener, are divided into five types: representative, commissive, directive, expressive, and declarative speech acts. This study primarily focuses on one of these types—representative speech acts. The researcher collected health-related videos tagged #suaratirta from the YouTube channel Tirta PengPengPeng using the Listen, Free, Engage, Speak (SBLC) method along with note-taking techniques. The data were then analyzed using matching and distributional techniques. The findings reveal 93 instances of representative speech acts, detailed as follows: a) 13 declarative statements, b) 27 explanatory statements, c) 42 informative statements, d) 9 warning statements, and e) 2 speculative statements. Additionally, 19 instances of impositive speech acts were identified, categorized as follows: a) 5 directive statements, b) 7 advisory statements, c) 2 prohibitive statements, and d) 5 interrogative statements.]]>
