Abstract

Language is an important communication tool in human life. In a linguistic context, speakers can use words to convey any information, ask for help, order, entertain, and convey other actions. Language plays an important role in the communication process because humans need language to communicate with each other. Language as a communication tool can be transfered in writing or orally (Austin, 1962). In every communication, humans convey information in the form of thoughts, ideas, intentions, feelings, or emotions directly (Gamgulu, 2015). Language in a broad sense, is interpreted as a communication exchange of signs and this applies both to language in the narrow sense, namely the language of words, whether conveyed orally or in writing, as well as regarding all other signs in the form of codes so that what has been said can be done (Wijaya, 2012). In this research, the researcher used qualitative descriptive method which is a method of research that attempt to describe and interpret the objects in accordance with reality. The descriptive method were implemented because the data analysis will be presented descriptively.
