Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to obtain an overall understanding of indirect speech acts found in some State Address by the President of Republic of Indonesia, Joko Widodo. This research uses qualitative descriptive method to get deepening understanding about indirect speech acts found in some State Address of the President Joko Widodo. Data got from the speech of President Jokowi in some of his state activities and those utterances are the ones which express indirect speech acts. Based on data analysis, it is found that President wants to convey through his indirectness in some of his State Address. Moreover, the State Address in its context is conveyed in a formal situation, so it would appear less ethical if he uses indirect speech acts more than the direct ones.
