This study discusses the types of illocutionary speech in
President Jokowi's speech at the opening of the Bali G20 Summit. This research
is related to the illocutionary act produced by Jokowi in his speech. The
purpose of this study is to find out the illocutionary acts produced by the
speaker in the G2O opening speech. This study uses a descriptive-qualitative
method. The results of this study show that Jokowi uttered 18 utterances at the
opening speech of the G20 summit in Bali: 7 representative data, 4 directive
data, 2 expressive data, 4 commissive data, and 1 declarative data. Thus, the
most frequently produced categories of illocutionary acts by speakers are
representative, while the categories or illocutionary acts that occur most
rarely are declarative. That is, in his speech, Jokowi tends to use his words
to describe conditions or events in the world that he believes in. This finding
is supported by Cutting (2002: 17). A representative performance is one in
which the words express what the speaker believes. be the case or not. That's
because of what Jokowi said in his G20 Bali opening speech about statements of
facts, affirmations, conclusions, and descriptions of things.

INTRODUCTION
Language is
important in human life because it is a means of human communication in daily
life. A person can communicate ideas, thoughts, and feelings to others through
language, both orally and in writing. In communication, language is very
important. People will be able to share and discuss ideas, thoughts, and plans
by using language (Marzuki, 2016; Marzuki, 2019).
It can also be used to change reality if carried out by a powerful figure such
as the president. The president employs language as a political tool in order
to influence society as a whole. Political speech can be viewed as a tool for
establishing and maintaining social relationships, expressing emotions, and
selling ideas, policies, and programmers. As a result of their enormous impact
on society, presidential speeches are fascinating to examine. Hence, presidential speech is interesting to analyze
because of the massive impact on society. Ones of many interesting presidential
speeches are the seventh Indonesian president’s speeches, Joko Widodo (known as
Jokowi) at the KTT G20 Bali November 15,2022.
Speech According to Arsajad (2019), is an activity done
verbally by someone about something or a problem by expressing a description of
the problem using sentences that must be clear in front of the masses or many
people at a certain time. The listener must recognize the speech in order for
the speaker's message to be effectively conveyed. As a result, it is critical
to understand the conversation's context. Language speakers perform actions
such as informing, ordering, or requesting when they produce speech in a
specific context. This is referred to as a speech act.
In the analysis of language, what people act by saying
words is known as speech acts. One pragmatic
field that analyses communication is speech acts theory. According to the view,
persons make utterances as a form of activity. It suggests that language is a
tool for getting people to participate in certain activities so they can
communicate. The utterances that take place between people who are
communicating are referred to as speech acts. It is a feature of language that
is concerned with what individuals convey through it (Yule, 1996; Kim &
Lee, 2015).
In terms of speech acts, Yule (1996) defined them as
actions performed through utterances such as an apology, compliment, or
request. It is classified into three types: locutionary acts, illocutionary
acts, and perlocutionary acts. Additionally, Austin (1962) defined locutionary
act as the actual words spoken by the speakers. Meanwhile, illocutionary act
refers to the actions performed by the speaker as he or she speaks. Yule (1996) distinguishes five types of illocutionary
speech acts: declaration, representative, expressive, directive, and
commissive. Declarations are a type of speech act in which words are
transformed through utterances. It is not the case with representatives who
state whether or not they believe the speaker is correct. The next category is
expressive speech acts, which are speech acts that express what the speaker is
feeling by expressing psychological states such as happy, happy, sick, sad,
like or dislike. In other words, pay closer attention to how the speaker feels.
Furthermore, directive is a type of speech act in which someone is asked to do
something. Orders, requests, and suggestions are all included. Meanwhile, commissive speech acts convey the speaker's
intent. It is typically used by the speaker to commit them to future actions,
such as a promise, threat, refusal, or pledge.
Many
research conducted by the researchers in examined the speech acts. In Okoro (2017) conducted a descriptive survey
study to investigate the speech acts which are locution, illocution, and perlocution,
of 2 political speeches of President Muhammad Buhari. The researchers analyzed
the data using the Speech Acts Theory of Austin (1962) and Searle (1969). The
result of the study revealed that that the President used more assertives and
commissives speech acts in order to show the sincerity of his intentions, to
make promises, and to assure the masses. The other study, titled "An
Analysis of Illocutionary Acts of Hillary Clinton's Concession Speech to Donald
Trump in Presidential Election," was carried out by (Irwandi, 2018). The
author employed qualitative descriptive research. According to the research,
assertives, directions, commissives, expressives, and declaratives may all be
found in Hillary Clinton's concession speech to Donald Trump. The 13 sorts of
assertions occur the most frequently (36.1%). It is followed by directives,
commissives, expressives, and declaratives, which occur in nine different types
(25%) each, three different types (8.3%), nine different types (25%) each, and
two different types (5.6%). Assertive speech patterns predominate throughout
Hillary Clinton's speech. The highest frequency of assertive was seen in
assertion.
However, the current study will only
look at illocutionary speech acts. The presence study also examined on the
different object of the research and the different aims of the study. The
researcher also wants to examine only the illocutionary act based on Searle’s
theory. Where, Searle conducted five kinds of illocutionary such as Representative,
directive, commissive, expressive and declarative. In the presence research the
researcher wants to identify the illocutionary acts on Jokowis’ speech at G2O Bali ceremony.
Based on the purpose of the study the researcher conduct a research question as
guide in doing the research such as; What kinds of illocutionary acts contained
on Jokowis’ speech at G2O Bali ceremony.
METHOD
This study uses descriptive qualitative
research. Descriptive qualitative research is a systematic subjective approach
used to describe life experiences and give them meaning. Sugiyono (2016:12) states
that qualitative research is a method that is used to collect the data in the
form of word of pictures rather than number. This study employed a descriptive
qualitative analysis in order to analyse the types of illocutionary speech acts
performed by Jokowi on speech G20 BALI. The object of this research is the
utterances made by JOKOWI in the G20 speech in Bali. The data source for this
research was collected by downloading Jokowi's speech videos from YouTube. In
collecting data, the writer observes and analyzes utterances or expressions
from Jokowi's speech.
A. Data Analysis
For
data analysis, the author applies the Austin (1962) and Searle (2005) theories
of speech acts. Data analysis is the process of methodically searching and organizing
the interview transcript, field notes, and other materials that you gather to
better understand them and make it possible for you to share what you have
learned with others (Sugiyono, 2016:244).
According to
Austin's (1962) theory on illocutionary actions and Searle's (2005) theory on
the many forms of illocutionary acts, which included assertives, directives,
commissives, expressive, and declaratives, the writer classified them.
b. Methods of Data
Collection
The
first step for the researcher is downloading Jokowi's speech at the G20 Bali
videos from YouTube and then the researcher watches the video. At the same
time, the researcher looked for utterances containing speech acts in Jokowi's
speech. Following the viewing of the video, the researcher highlighted the

DISCUSSION
The writer found the total illocutionary
acts produced by Jokowi at the opening speech of the Bali G20 Summit as many as
17 utterances. Then divided into five types of illocutionary acts, namely
representative as much as 7 data a, directive as much as 4 data. 2 data
expressive, 4 data commissive and 1 data declarative. Thus, the category of
illocutionary act most often produced by the speaker is representative and the
category or illocutionary act that occurs most rarely is declarative. It means
that in his speech Jokowi tends to use his words to describe conditions or
events in the world that he believes in. This finding is supported by Cutting
(2002: 17) representative is a performance in which the word says what the
speaker believes to be the case or not. That's because of what Jokowi said at
the G20 Bali opening speech regarding statements of facts, affirmations,
conclusions, and descriptions of things.

acts, namely four (4) commisive illocutionary speech acts, seven (7)
