| Riassunto: | This thesis examined the linguistic features of directives in school
announcements. The directives investigated in this study is identified as a type
of speech acts used in school announcements aims at the fact that they are
attempts by the addresser as school management/director board to get the
addressees as students/teachers to do something expressed by the
propositional content. This study was conducted with qualitative and
descriptive methods. Over two hundred English samples of school
announcements were collected from the official Websites of high schools and
universities in Britain, the U.S and English speaking countries. The study
found that in aspect of syntax, the sentences used in school announcements
appeared in such sentence types as: imperatives, declaratives and
interrogatives. In the aspect of pragmatics, the result of data analysis revealed
the qualitative information about the speech acts in the functions of school
announcements as the sub-types of directives, namely inviting, suggesting,
advising and requesting. The result of the investigation is expected to help
learners of English understand the linguistic features of directives in school
announcements and then help them have a new look in preparing an
announcement of their own in English. |
