Abstract

In communication, if someone wants something from others, he or she will use the functional aspects of a language to express it. It means he or she should make an utterance. An utterance that can express various functions is called speech act. One of the functions of speech acts is making a request. A request can be defined as to ask for, politely or formally, or to beg someone to do something, to express the need or desire for, and to inquire for information. By requesting, someone can achieve his or her goal that he or she wanted from others. In making a request, people should use appropriate language according to five social factors. One of those factors is the sex of the speaker. By adopting qualitative approach, this study aims to find out the differences of request strategies used male and female customers. To address the questions, the writer recorded conversations between the sellers and the customers at Rasamala traditional market in Semarang. She analyzed them based on the speech act theories. Because the customers in traditional market used Indonesian and Javanese language when they applied a request which has different structure with English, the writer was interested in analyzing whether different language structures and sex of the speakers influenced the way they made requests. The writer used Blum-Kulka’s theory to analyze the data. In this study, the writer found that male and female customers preferred the imperative form in their requests. She also found that Javanese and Indonesian request strategies had distinctive structure compared to the English structure. In Javanese and Indonesian requests, verbs are often deleted or omitted, especially in want statement. More female customers than male customers in traditional market did not use a verb in their requests.
