Abstract

Penelitian ini mengkaji jenis-jenis tindak ilokusi yang terdapat dalam ujaran Morrie Schwartz dalam memoar Tuesdays with Morrie (1997) karya Mitch Albom, dengan menggunakan klasifikasi tindak ilokusi Searle (1979) sebagai kerangka analisis. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi jenis-jenis tindak ilokusi yang muncul dalam ujaran Morrie serta menganalisis bagaimana dominasi salah satu jenis tindak ilokusi tersebut merefleksikan perannya sebagai mentor dalam memoar ini. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif kualitatif dengan menganalisis 30 ujaran terpilih yang diucapkan Morrie dalam percakapannya dengan Mitch. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa empat dari lima jenis tindak ilokusi yang dikemukakan oleh Searle ditemukan dalam data, yaitu asertif (19 ujaran, 63,3%), direktif (7 ujaran, 23,3%), ekspresif (3 ujaran, 10%), dan komisif (1 ujaran, 3,3%), sementara tidak ditemukan tindak deklaratif. Ketiadaan tindak deklaratif mencerminkan sifat hubungan antara Morrie dan Mitch yang dibangun atas dasar kepercayaan pribadi dan kedekatan emosional, bukan otoritas institusional. Tindak asertif menjadi jenis yang paling dominan, menunjukkan bahwa Morrie berkomunikasi terutama dengan menyampaikan keyakinan pribadi dan kebenaran filosofis mengenai kehidupan, kematian, cinta, dan hubungan antarmanusia. Penggunaan kebenaran filosofis melalui tindak asertif memainkan peran yang signifikan dalam membangun hubungan mentoring dalam memoar ini, karena memungkinkan Morrie membimbing perkembangan karakter Mitch melalui keyakinan pribadi dan pengalaman hidup. Ketika diinterpretasikan melalui kerangka mentoring yang dikemukakan oleh Rhodes (2002) dan Kram (1983, sebagaimana dikutip dalam Mullen & Klimaitis, 2019), dominasi ini merefleksikan peran Morrie sebagai mentor yang membimbing perkembangan psikososial dan karakter Mitch melalui kebijaksanaan dan pengalaman pribadi. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa dominasi tindak ilokusi asertif secara bermakna merefleksikan sifat dan kedalaman hubungan mentoring itu sendiri. Penelitian selanjutnya disarankan untuk mengeksplorasi perbedaan tindak ujar langsung dan tidak langsung, melakukan studi komparatif terhadap tokoh mentor dalam karya sastra lain, mengkaji ujaran Mitch sebagai respons timbal balik terhadap Morrie, serta memperluas data penelitian untuk memperkuat generalisasi temuan terkait tindak ilokusi dan dinamika mentoring dalam wacana sastra. ************************************************************ This study examines the illocutionary acts found in Morrie Schwartz's utterances in Mitch Albom's memoir Tuesdays with Morrie (1997), using Searle's (1979) classification of illocutionary acts as the analytical framework. The study aims to identify the types of illocutionary acts found in Morrie's utterances and to analyze how the dominance of a particular type reflects his role as a mentor throughout the memoir. This research employs a qualitative descriptive method, focusing on 30 selected utterances spoken by Morrie in his dialogues with Mitch. The findings reveal that four out of five illocutionary act types proposed by Searle were identified in the data: assertives (19 occurrences, 63.3%), directives (7 occurrences, 23.3%), expressives (3 occurrences, 10%), and commissives (1 occurrence, 3.3%), while no declarations were found. The absence of declarations reflects the nature of Morrie and Mitch's relationship, which is grounded in personal trust and emotional connection rather than institutional authority. Assertives emerged as the dominant type, indicating that Morrie primarily communicates by sharing personal convictions and philosophical truths about life, death, love, and human connection. The use of philosophical truth through assertive acts plays a significant role in establishing the mentoring relationship in the memoir, as it allows Morrie to guide Mitch's character development through personal conviction and lived experience. When interpreted through the mentoring frameworks proposed by Rhodes (2002) and Kram (1983, as cited in Mullen & Klimaitis, 2019), this dominance reflects Morrie's role as a mentor who guides Mitch's psychosocial and character development through wisdom and personal experience. The study concludes that the dominant use of assertive illocutionary acts meaningfully reflects the nature and depth of the mentoring relationship itself. Future research is suggested to explore the direct-indirect speech act distinction, conduct comparative studies on mentor figures across different literary works, examine Mitch's reciprocal utterances toward Morrie, and expand the data set to strengthen the generalizability of findings related to illocutionary acts and mentorship in literary discourse.
