Abstract

A directive speech act is an utterance mostly found in daily conversation. The purpose of directive speech is to make the listener obey the speaker’s instructions. In Japanese conversation, people are used to being very attentive and careful in using the directive form of speech since they are not used to instructing straightforwardly. Therefore, this study aims to see how Japanese males and females produce straightforward directive speeches. The data of this study were the pitch of Japanese males and females. Their pitches were measured using the Praat application to know how high or low the pitches were. By using the mixed method, qualitative and quantitative, this study found that Japanese, especially males, produced a higher pitch than the general Japanese speakers’ standard while uttering directive speeches. The pitch is high since the situation becoming the background of the conversation made the speakers need to raise their voices to reach the communication goal.
