Analysis Of Children's Speech Acts In The “Kamu Nanya?” Syndrome On Tik-Tok

Abstract

Currently, language is developing rapidly among people. Children, like adults, do not want to be left behind regarding the latest speech act trends. This research will discuss the “kamu nanya?” syndrome, which some children do on the Tik-Tok application, so the data source comes from the video. The research method is descriptive-qualitative, so data collection is carried out using note-taking techniques. Based on the five videos found, the speech acts are interrogative and declarative locutions. Illocutionary speech acts are directive speech acts. Then, perlocutionary forms are verbal, nonverbal, and verbal nonverbal. However, the use of language in all videos does not reflect a positive attitude toward language; that is, there is no awareness of language norms that encourage people to use their language carefully and politely. Therefore, it is necessary to instil educational values in children. Its function is so that they can use careful and polite language with their elders and can respect one another.
