conversations between Agus and Rita in Aditya Mulya?s novel entitled Jomblo as
its data to be analyzed. Here, the writer chose Speech Act theories, especially the
illocution and the perlocution theories, as the main theories. She addopted theories
or statements from Austin, Searle, Hurford and Heasley, and many other linguists
who discuss about the illocution and the perlocution. Moreover, she also used
men?s and women?s language theory from Holmes, Gray and Lakoff. In this
research, the writer intended to reveal the illocution and the perlocution used by
Agus and Rita, which can trigger conflict and occur within the conflict itself. As
the conclusion, she finally found, it is true that when the hearer?s illocution does
not conform the speaker?s perlocution it will cause miscommunication as well.
She found various kinds of illocution which can trigger and appear within the
conflict. She also found the characteristics of Agus and Rita.
