Mother Character's Use of Directive Illocutionary Acts in 'The Croods: A New Age' Movie

Abstract The study aims to identify and analyze the categories of directive illocutionary acts performed by Ugga, the mother character in The Croods: A New Age movie using Searle's (1979) theory, supported by Halliday and Hasan's (1989) theory of the context of the situation. Employing observation and note-taking methods for data collection, this study utilizes a descriptive qualitative approach for analysis. The results revealed five categories of directive illocutionary acts: Ordering (14 utterances, 41.18%), directing (2 utterances, 5.88%), warning (2 utterances, 5.88%), asking (11 utterances, 32.35%), and suggesting (5 utterances, 14.71%). The study found ordering to be the most dominant illocutionary act category, indicating that characters often exert authority or urgency in their interactions toward other characters.
