CONVERSATIONAL SPEECH ACT PATTERNS IN ARABIC BOOKS AT THE UNIVERSITY LEVEL

The conversation has an essential role in the sustainability of an interaction. Conversation cannot be understood from these forms alone. That understanding must be linked to the context of the events taking place when the conversation occurred. This paper seeks to identify the forms of speech acts in Al-'Arabiyah Al-Mu'ashirah volume 1, taught at the university level, UIN Sunan Ampel Surabaya. This research uses descriptive qualitative and quantitative methods. The data analysis technique uses the concept of Miles and Huberman, which is used to analyze data containing speech acts in a conversation. This research finds three speech acts in the book: locutionary of 40 expressions, 166 expressions of illocutionary, and 16 perlocutionary. The most widely used patterns are illocutionary speech acts: assertive, directive, declarative, commissive, and expressive. These results indicate that the lesson h}iwa>r is almost always related to the conversation context. So, more is needed to learn conversation to explain the texts.
