Abstract
This study was about speech acts analysis in Franklin D. Roosevelt‘s “Pearl Harbor Address to Nation”. The objectives of this study were 1) to find out the kinds of speech acts employed in the speech 2) to explain the rhetorical arrangement in the speech. To support the analysis, a relevant contextual situation was also identified. This study applied a descriptive-qualitative method which seeks to identify a specific language phenomenon and provides a comprehensive analysis. The main data were all utterances asserted by President Roosevelt in ―Pearl Harbor Address to Nation‖ speech in the form speech acts. It was retrieved from video and transcript. To accomplish the first objective, the main data were analyzed under the speech acts theory by Searle. Meanwhile, the second objective was accomplished by employing a rhetorical arrangement theory of Cicero. The data were collected by watching the speech video, learning the transcript, categorising them in data sheets and conducting deep analyses. The key instrument of the research was the researcher. Hence, the trustworhiness of the data were ensured by keeping the credibility, dependability, and comformability. There were two kinds of research findings. The first one showed the speech acts in the form of illocutionary act in ―Pearl Harbor Address to Nation‖ speech. There were four categories of illocutions in the speech, which were representatives, directives, commisives, and expressives. However, declaratives did not appear. The totality of illocutionary acts occured in the speech was 91 times. It outnumbered the total sentences because each of those performed more than one speech act. It became the reason that the speech was highly effective. Among those illocutions, the act of persuading came as the most frequent illocution to be performed. The act of persuading was performed in every of his sentence, proving why the speech was extremely persuasive. He persuaded the Congress by convincing them about three things 1) the Pearl Harbor tragedy was a sudden attack, 2) Japan was evil and dangerous, 3) the declaration of war was a right decision. The distribution of the speech acts was also contributed to its persuasiveness. The second finding was about the rhetorical arrangement. Five out of six elements were found. The division became the only missing element. It was eliminated to make the speech more efficient. ―Statement of Fact‖ came as the most frequent element in the speech with 13 occurences, implying that facts had been important tools of persuasion for President Roosevelt. In the second rank, Proof (10 occurences) gave a logical explanation of the facts that previously stated. In conclusion, the speech was categorised as a highly persuasive and effective because the choice of expression to convey his intended meanings and logicallyappealing reasoning.
