Abstract

This study aims to describe the use of directive speech acts in the context of Protestant Christian sermons. This research is a type of pragmatic research that examines the meaning of a speech in a particular context. The data source of this research was obtained from reverend sermons in five churches in Malang. The results showed that the preaching speech of the reverend in a Protestant Christian church in Malang used directive speech acts to express order to the congregation. These orders are studied based on the form of directive speech, the function of directive speech, and the strategy for delivering a directive speech.
