1.1 Background of the Study
Illocutionary act (Austin (1975:5, 116, 121, 139) is an utterance which has "performative" just in case it is issued in the course of the "doing of an action".

Thus, for example, in order to successfully perform a promise the speaker must make clear to speaker’s audience that the act of the speaker is performing a
promise and in the performance of the act, speaker will be undertaking an obligation to do the promised
thing; therefore promising is an illocutionary act in the present sense. For example, “I promise to attend your party tonight”. Without using the word “promise”, actually the speaker has made a promise to the hearer
that speaker will do future action that is the speaker attends hearer’s party.
Bach and Harnish in Devitt & Hanley, (2003:http://www.google.co.id.speechacttheory&source) stated that an illocutionary act is an attempt to communicate, which they again analyze as the expressing of an attitude. It means that to show the illocutionary act, the speaker should make a communication to the hearer by language. As we know that language is a means of communication that cannot be separated from human’s life since it is used to interact each other. As Hartley (1982:11) emphasizes that
language is a means of communication. To communicate by speaking is not a ?????????????
