CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION

A.  Background of the Study
Language  is  defined  as  a  set  of  grammatical  rules  existing  in  the  mind  of everyone. It’s a system of encoding and decoding information. In structural linguistics, Francis (1958:13) defines language as an arbitrary system of articulated sounds made use of by a group of humans as a means of carrying on the affairs of their society (Wagiman Adisutrisno, 2008:1).
Language has significant roles in society, it has important relationship. Language has a social function in society as a tool of communication. It will connect one people with another people in certain purpose. So, human and language are two components which can’t be separated in this life.
Recently, many people are interested in studying linguistic and it produced many branches of linguistic, such as: psycholinguistic, sociolinguistic, pragmatic, socio- pragmatic, and soon. Those branches of linguistic studied language from different point of views  and applied  research method which then the result is expected can  enrich conceptual knowledge about language itself.
One of the interdisciplinary which studied in linguistic is Pragmatic. According to Parker (1998:11-12), pragmatics is concerned in language use not in language structure like grammar which study the internal structure of language. In the other hands, Jacob L. Mey (1993:4) explain that pragmatics tells us that it’s all right to use language in various, unconventionally ways, as long as we know that we as language users know what we’re doing.

In this case, human used language to communicate with others by saying utterances. According to J.L Austin (1962), in using an utterance a person is not just saying something but is actually doing something. Such utterances which perform act will produce speech act and speech acts changes in some way of conditions that exist in the world (Wardaugh: 283).
Speech act is studied in some interdisciplinary studies, such as: pragmatic, sociolinguistic, and so on. But, it is viewed from different point with discussion each them. Pragmatic focuses on the meaning of context which happened between a speaker and a hearer in communication or concerns on the meaning of utterances in speech.
Here, in speech, human used language in spoken and written which use to express or share their feelings. Usually, the spoken language will follow with actions. Maybe not all of them, but most of the people said something in conformity with actions.
Spoken and written languages are used in many aspects of human life. We can speak directly to the other person with making a conversation in common. We can use formal and informal language according to what situation we meet. In daily conversation or informal situation, it’s okay to use both of them (formal and informal language). But, in formal situation it’s better to use formal language in our speech to show the politeness.
We also can write the language to be written form like a novel, poem, short story and etc., if we are interested in art and literature. In literature, both of the languages are the important things which should be there. It’s used as a tool of communication between the writer and the readers of a book, the writer or the maker and the onlooker of a movie.
Literature is one of the kinds of studies which are influential in human’s life. Literature is one of the ways of human to share or express their feeling into spoken or written form. It includes their experiences, emotions, expectations and etc. It can be truth from their experiences or pure from their imagination worlds. Literature used spoken or written language to interpreting the story. Such as: novel which uses written language and movie which uses spoken language to extending the contents of the story from the movie.
Movie or motion picture is a story conveyed with moving images. Movie is a good solution for us who need an entertainment when we get troubles or problems. Movie can be fiction or non-fiction. It can be making from imaginations, experiences, a fact or true story which inspiriting the writer to make a movie based from it. Sometimes, the story of the movie was taken from literature, such as: novel, short story, comic and etc. Therefore, we can conclude that movie included in a kind of literature which interpreted by moving pictures and sounds. It’s differentiating a movie from the other literatures.
