Abstract

This paper presents the study of speech act specifically directive expressions in the Green Book movie. This research used qualitative paradigm with embedded case study. The results of the study showed that there were 52 directive expressions founded in the orientation, complication, and resolution. In the orientation, there were ordering (11,6%), demanding (3,8%), suggesting (1,9%), and asking (1,9%). In the conflict phase, directive expressions were in the form of ordering (19,2%), demanding (7,7%), commanding (7,7%), suggesting (3,8%), asking (1,9%). In the resolution phase, directive expressions were found in the form of suggesting (13,6%), ordering (11,6%), commanding (5,8%), demanding (3,8%), asking (1,9%), and inviting (1,9%). Ordering expressions dominated the orientation and conflict phase because the relationship between two characters were interpersonal relations in the form of power relation and peerage. Meanwhile, resolution phase are dominated with suggesting expressions because the relationship between two characters were close and the power relation diminished.
