Theory
background
To analyze the research object such humor comics, I applied
locution, illocution, and per locution theories. These theories always thick on
society’s daily conversation so that I took them to analysis how it was shaped from
many words planned on make a humor.
John R Searle (1983) in his book Speech Acts: An
Essay in The Philosophy of Language said that in language using there are three
kinds speech acts. They are locution acts, illocution acts, per locution acts.
·
Locution acts is
a speech act with words, phrase, and sentence with the same meaning as those
words, phrase, and sentences. It called the act of saying something[1].
·
Illocution acts
are speech acts to do something which have own meaning and aims too. It called
the act of doing something.
·
Per locution acts is speech act to apply
affect to the listener. It called the act of affecting someone.
Methodology
The interesting things of comic
Comic have excellence things to attract the reader
in writing, form of writing, language style, which hadn’t by others.
·
Comic has a
picture, unlike just speech or news. Generally, it contains picture of figures
which withdraw the reader via what illustrated more details, more specific and
making fun.
·
Comic using a
simply language to ease the reader understanding what its mean.
·
Comic aims to
quip something and make the reader smile or even laugh easily.
To
hold the research, of course the data is needed to investigate. I took some data from Raditya Dika’s book
Manusia Setengah Salmon. He popular with his humor book such Kambing Jantan,
Cinta Brontosaurus, Babi Ngesot, Marmut Merah Jambu. All of them contains his
fun story and the recently book is Manusia Setengah Salmon. It contain so many
humor every chapter he written. Its book has a comic and every comic express
more fun action. I have seven comics to investigate and give them analyses
about the background theory I took.
Method
which used in this research includes some steps. Collecting of the data use
watching method and next method is writing method. Then, data is analyzed
functionally with contextual method’s way. Data was investigated and analyzed
use pragmatics theories include speech acts and cooperation. Presentation of
analysis results using common language. It also supported by retelling the
comics to abridging the reader into humor speech.
The
problems which will investigate in this paper
·
Where is the
humor position of Raditya Dika’s comics?
·
What are
pragmatics aspects was used to appear those?
·
What are the
aims and intentions of those?

This first comic show that the acts happened
chronologically.(1) The interaction happen when father and his son finished
their dinner and then watched the television together as their daily activity
without his wife because they would like to watch between two gentleman. In
number (2 Locution) the son gives the information about the program he watched
because he just heard the great singer and also gives a comment to his father.
Number (3 Illocution) shows that his father didn’t like with contestant’s sing,
he need someone else to move that contestant into low grade. (4) Because of 3rd
statement, father feel he must make something to be comparable with that
vibrate voice. The humor appear in (4) because of his flatus. Flatus appears
when someone feels bad with his/her stomach and take it out from his/her back. Son
avoids his father and goes back to his bedroom because the flatus’s smells not
good. Data 002

something to made his brother sure what he said. Dika caught that the land he
had, was the real flat large land on earth but Dika saw him handling a little

Conclusion
All
of the data has finished analyzing, I concluded that all of those comics show
humor with the differences meaning in real context. The entire speech act is
inappropriate with the rule of speech context but this is the worst thing to
make a humor entertain the reader directly. It’s beginning family story, love
story and also writer fun experience. Those data have variety meaning. Speakers
make impilicit assumptions about the real world, and the sense of an utterance
may depend on those assumptions[2].
