Abstract

This research was to determine the speech acts of speaking dialogue in person with a mental disorder (schizophrenia) in terms of clinical pragmatic perspectives. This study is conducted qualitatively with identification and classification in the form of speech acts of the person with pragmatic disorders. Data were obtained in the interview from a thirty-year-old male who has suffered from a mental illness due to the influence of heavy alcohol and drugs. The selection of the participant is to find out about speech disorder that is reduced at that age level. The results of the speech act from the participant showed the sentences that indicate assertive, directive, expressive, commissive, and, declarative. All speech acts and sentences have a certain meaning and interpretation correlated with mental illness and the language deficit of the person specifically.
