Abstract

This study aims to identify the forms of strategies and functions, and the relations between the uses of strategies and functions of requests in English that are found in several films with different ratings. To view the speech acts of request in English, two films that use English as a communication tool with different ratings were selected. The selection of films with different ratings is intended to highlight differences in the use of language in movies watched by children and adolescents. The selected films are rated G (General Audiences) and PG (Parental Guidance Suggested). The forms of speech act strategies invoked were classified based on the theory advanced by Trosborg (1995), while for identification of the functions of request speech acts, Tsui’s Theory (1994) was referenced. From the analysis, it was concluded that there was no difference in strategies and functions used in the two films. Both use four strategies, namely indirect request, the hearer-oriented condition, speaker-based condition, and direct request. In addition, they also illustrate the same five functions: request for action, request for permission, offer, invitation, and proposal. The most frequently used strategy and function are direct request and request for action, respectively.
