and Perlocutions that cause conflict which occurred in the conversation between
Lorelai and Rory Gilmore in the Gilmore Girls film. In any conversation, there
must be a conflict; no matter it is small or big, because a conversation happens
between two or more persons. Each person must have different opinion, this
triggers dispute or conflict. The writer applies the theory of Pragmatic written by
George Yule (1996) and Stephen Levinson (1983). This theory is supported by
theory of Discourse written by Guy Cook (1994); Speech Acts theory written by
Brown and Yule (1984); the theory of Locution, Illocution and Perlocution written
by Austin (1970); and the last is the theory of conflict written by Peg Pickering
(2001). The writer used descriptive approach in doing this research. The writer
only observed the scenes which contain the conflict between Lorelai and Rory; the
writer ignored other characters? conflict. The result shows that the verbs that cause
conflict are contained in Directives and Representatives. The verbs like asking
and complaining might trigger a conflict in the conversation.
