The data sources in this study are dialogs from the movie and the script of the movie Air 2023, which were collected through documentation and content analysis. Data analysis is conducted through three stages: data reduction, data presentation, and verification/conclusion, with triangulation of theory and method to ensure validity and reliability. The writers found 50 speech act consisting of direct speech act (22) and indirect speech act (28). The study identifies four main functions of speech acts such as competitive (8), convivial (15), collaborative (22), and conflictive (5).
