Abstract

The title of this research is ""Analysis of Request Expressions in Uab Meto". This research was conducted to answer two problems, namely 1) What are the types of request expressions used in Uab Meto? And 2) How to express a request in Uab Meto? The objectives are to 1) identify the types of request expressions commonly used in Uab Meto and, 2) identify request strategies used in Uab Meto. This research focuses on the expression of requests in the context of everyday situations using qualitative methods. Data were collected through questionnaires given to several participants who were native speakers or L1 speakers at Uab Meto which included 10 request situations. Research participants consisted of people in Taiftob Village, North Mollo District, South Central Timor Regency, East Nusa Tenggara Province. They consisted of 5 men (Atoin Meto) and 5 women (Bife Meto) with an age range of 21-60 years, all of whom were native speakers of the Uab Meto language who lived in the village. The request expression analysis method in this research refers to the classification of request patterns in the Cross-Cultural Study of Speech Act Realization Pattern (CCSARP) proposed by Blum-Kulka et al. (1989). The results showed that the most common request expressions used by Uab Meto participants were conventional indirect requests, followed by direct requests, while non-conventional indirect requests were less preferred. The analysis also showed that there were no significant differences between men and women. Based on the results mentioned previously, the researcher suggests to future researchers to study the expression of requests comprehensively by paying attention to aspects of gender and language contact; stakeholders.
