CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
A.Background of the Study
Nowadays, people or in this case students just know interjection as just
“kata seru”. They said that interjection is the simplest of parts of speech because we just have to look at the exclamation mark in the end of words, phrases or sentences to know that it is an interjection but that people did not know that interjection is not as simple as they thought. Interjection has types, classification, function, form, meaning and etc. So in speaking English, we have to pay attention in using interjection.
Every language consists of sounds and sound pattern, basic unit of meaning or words, and rules to combine them to form new sentences. Those elements constitute the grammar of the language. Therefore, to understand a language, people have to know its grammar. But in conversation sometimes people use utterances that grammatically have no connection with the previous or next sentences. They use it to express their feeling or perform a certain sense, it is called interjection.
An interjection, sometimes called a filled pause, is a part of speech that usually has no grammatical connection to the rest of the sentence and simply expresses emotion on the part of the speaker, although most interjections have clear definitions. Interjections are uninfected function words that express the attitude or emotion of the speaker. They are used when the speaker encounters
1
2
events that cause some emotions, such as unexpectedly, painfully, surprisingly or in many other sudden ways.
In daily conversation, consiously or unconsiously people always involve interjection in it. For example, when someone is finding something, he/she spontaneously says Aha!, or when someone is surprised about something happened, he says Wow!, or Oh my God! Interjections are so complex. Sometimes people make the variation of interjection according to the sense of their emotion.
Ouch express more sense than Oh, although it is based on the same interjection and expressed the same emotion. On the other hand, an interjection can express several kinds of emotion. People use Oh my God to express several kinds of emotion such as astonishment, unexpection or maybe pain. It is concerned with the context of the situation of utterance.
There are some researchers have conducted a research about interjection.
The first is a research fromYuniarty (2018) in her research entitled “interjections in students‟ conversation”. In her research mentioned that emotive and conative interjection are frequently used by the students followed by phatic interjection.
The students used the emotive interjection to express or show their feelings or emotions towards something and the conative interjection to get someone‟s attention or demand on action or response from someone of speaker‟s wants. Then another reseaarch from Anggoro (2013) in his research entitled “ Interjection In
English Comic Books Scooby-Doo Where Are You” found that there are 20 primary interjection and 10 secondary interjection and also found emotive, cognitive, conative, and phatic and emotive was the highest used followed by
3
cognitive, conative, and phatic. Next, a research from Kinasih (2015) in her research entitled “ Interjection in Nanny Mcphee Movie” found the same resulth with Anggoro that emotive is the highest used in the conversation of characters in that movie.
Another research about interjection has conducted from Anggraini (2011) in her research entitled “ Discourse Analysis of Interjection Used in the Script of
Harry Potter Film”. In her research shown that there are some interjection found, they are cognitive, phatic, emotive, and conative and phatic was the highest used in the conversation of script. The last research from Iqbal (2019) in his research entitled “ Analysis of The Use of Interjection in The Graphic of Warkop Novel
DKI Reborn” shown that conative is the mostly interjection used then followed by emotive, cognitive and phatic.
Based on the previous related research mentioned before, we can see that the gap between previous research and my research is on the focus of the research.
The previous research just focused on two aspects of interjection (types and classification) while my research focused on three aspects of interjection (types, classification and function).
In this research, the researcher will analyze interjections uttered by the students in speaking English by using speech act theory and pragmatics approach.
Knowing the context of utterance is the basic need in understanding the function and meaning of interjections those are uttered by the speaker. So, the most
4
appropriate theories in analyzing interjections are speech act theory and pragmatics.
B.Problem Statements
Based on the explanation above, the problems of the study were formulated as follows:
1. What types and classification of interjection are uttered by the students in
speaking English ?
2. What functions of interjection are used in students‟ English Speaking ?
C.Objectives of the Study
Based on the problems statement above, the objectives of the study were to find out:
1. The types and classification of interjections that are uttered by the
students in speaking English.
2. The function of interjection used in students‟ English Speaking.
D.Significances of the Study
Theoritically, the researcher expects that this study will give contribution to anyone who is interested in interjection or everything that deals with the topic that will be presented in this research.
Practically, it will enrich the knowledge in understanding interjection especially that are used in students‟ English Speaking, since it is not impossible that.
5
E. Scope of the Study
The researcher focused on the interjections that are uttered by the students in speaking English, especially in interjection types (primary and secondary), interjection classification (expressive, conative and phatic) and interjection function (referential, emotive, conative, phatic, metalingual, and poetic).
CHAPTER II
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
A. Some Pertinent Ideas
1. Pragmatics
Language is the one of the important things in a society. In
everyday life, people use language to communicate with others. The
language is used by people for delivering the intended messages from one
person to another. From languages, dialects and words that are chosen by
people when they are speaking can show their background, character, and
intention. In the social context, the study of language shows how people
organize a social relationship within a particular community. Based on
Radford et. al., (2009: 14) there are some possible relationships between
language and society. The first is that social backgrounds of the speaker
and the addressee. The social backgrounds include age, sex, social class,
ethnic background, etc. The second is the relationship between the speaker
and the addressee. The relationship meant is good friends, employer -
employee, grandmother – grandchild, teacher – student, etc. The last is the
context and manner of the interaction i.e. in bed, in the supermarket, in the
classroom, loudly, whispering, etc.
In reference to language study, pragmatics is a very wide field and
interesting to be investigated because it examines our use and
understanding of the language we speak and listen. Therefore, pragmatics
deals with utterances, by which people will mean specific events and the
6
7
intentional acts of speaker in a context. According to Trask (2005: 161), pragmatics is the branch of linguistics that studies the use and meaning of utterances in relation to their context. Here, the context is considered as the previous utterances (discourse context), participants in the speech events, and the physical setting of the speech.
A different idea about pragmatics is stated by Finch (2000 : 150).
He says that pragmatics is concerned with the meaning of utterance. He asserts that pragmatics focuses on what is implicitly stated and on how people interpret utterances in situational contexts. In the other words, it is about how language is used in communication, including how people use language to establish their identities, to express their emotions, and to carry on conversations with others.
However, the previous statements mention that pragmatics not only concerns the language use but also concerns the aspects of conversation.
To make it clearer, a broader definition is proposed by Yuniarti (2018) in
Yule who mentions four definitions of pragmatics. Firstly, pragmatics is the study of speaker‟s meaning. It has to do with the analysis of what people mean by their utterances. Secondly, pragmatics is the study of contextual meaning. It involves the interpretation of what people mean in a particular context and how the context influences what is said. Thirdly, pragmatics is the study of how the meaning gets communicated more than what is said by the speaker. It is the way how listeners can make inferences what is said in order to get the interpretation of the speakers‟
8
intended meaning. Fourthly, pragmatics is the study of the expression of relative distance. It investigates the assumption of the speakers about the distance of the shared experience between the speakers and the listeners in order to determine how much needs to be said.
Based on some definitions of pragmatics, it can be concluded that pragmatics studies the aspects of meaning and the language use that are dependent on the speaker, the addressees and other features of the context of utterance. It deals with the ways people reach the goal in a communication. Pragmatics covers the study of implicature, presupposition, speech acts, reference, deixis, definiteness and indefiniteness (Horn and Ward, 2005: 1). Because the objective of this study is to investigate the functions and the effects of speech acts in
Bilingual English – Indonesia classroom, the next section discusses the theory of speech acts.
2. Speech Act Theory
According to Austin in Nugroho (2013) states that the term „speech act‟ was found by the linguist named Austin and it was developed by another linguist named Searle. They explain that people describe situations and communicative actions in a conversation when they use language or words. When people communicate with others, they do not only produce utterances which contain grammatical structure and words, but also perform some actions via those utterances. He states that speech acts as the actions performed in saying something. He also distinguishes the act of
9
saying something, what one does in saying, and what one does by saying it
and dubs these a locutionary, an illocutionary, and a perlocutionary.
The theory of speech acts judges that people do more things with
words rather than convey information and when people convey
information, they often convey more than their words encode. Further,
Aitchison (2003: 106) defines speech act as a number of utterances that
behave somewhat like actions. He states that when a person utters a
sequence of words, the speaker often tries to achieve some effects with
those words; an effect which may in some cases has been accomplished by
an alternative action. In conclusion, speech act is utterances that can
replace action for a particular purpose in a certain situation.
3. Classification of Speech Act
Grundy (2008) based on Austin‟s classification explained that when people say something, they may involve the three dimensions, which are locutionary acts, illocutionary acts, and perlocutionary acts a. Locutionary acts
Locutionary acts are basic utterances uttered by people shaped in
the right grammar and understandable vocabulary. From the examples
given by Yuniarti (2018) in Yule‟s book, it is clear that he tried to say
that one of the requirements to meet in performing locutionary acts is
that both the speaker and the hearer share the same language; otherwise,
10
there will be misunderstanding or the meaning intended will not be
understood by the hearer. b. Illocutionary acts
Yuniarti (2018) in Yule stated that the term “illocutionary acts” is
often closely associated with the term speech act. When people have
communicative force in saying an utterance, it means that they are
performing an illocutionary act. For example, saying “put it out” may
have a different kind of force behind that. The speaker may say that
because he tries to stop a lady smoking in a smoke free area, or he sees
a window curtain is on fire. Having intention to say particular utterances
contribute to the idea of illocutionary acts. c. Perlocutionary acts
People (speakers) perform perlocutionary acts by expecting to
affect other people‟s (hearers‟) behavior. Affecting behavior does not
necessarily mean getting the hearer to do physical movements; it also
deals with the change of thought or habit of the hearer. This statement is
in line with Yule who pointed out that perlocutionary acts bring the-so-
called perlocutionary effect. One of the examples illustrating this
situation is when a speaker is feeling sad of being left out, he says “I am
useless” to a friend. By hearing the utterance, the hearer is affected and
feels sorry. Felling sorry is the effect of the perlocutionary acts of the
utterance “I am useless”. The term “speech act” comprises many
theories under it. It includes the theory of performative verbs, IFIDs
11
(Illocutionary Force Indicating Devices, felicity conditions, speech acts
classification, direct and indirect speech acts, speech events, and so on.
To make clear about the meaning from the utterance, Nugroho (2013)
in Searle proposed that speech act could be grouped into general
categories based on the relation of word and world. There are five basic
kinds of actions that one can perform on speaking or utterance, by means
of the following types: a. Assertive / Representative
The assertive refers to the dimension of assessment which includes true
and false. Therefore, this speech act describes states or events in the world
such as stating, claiming, reporting, announcing, etc. Testing an assertive
speech acts can be done by giving questions that are categorized as true and
false. According to Yule assertive / representative is a kind of speech acts
that states what the speaker believes to be the case or not. In using assertive
or representative, the speaker makes the words fit the world. The examples of
assertive / representative are illustrated below:
(1) The earth is flat
(2) The color “Red” in Indonesia is merah.
The two examples above represent the world‟s events as what the speaker
believes.
12
b. Directive
Directive refers to a speech act that has a function to make the hearer to do
something such as ordering, requesting, demanding, begging, and etc.
According to Yule, directive is a kind of speech acts that speakers use to get
someone else to do something. By performing directive, the speaker attempts
to make the world fit the words (via the hearer). It can be concluded that
directive expresses what the speaker wants. The examples of directive are
shown below:
(1)Don‟t touch that!
(2)Could you lend me your pen, please?
Example 1 shows that the speaker gives command to get the hearer acts what
8the speaker wants. Meanwhile, in example 2, in the form of interrogative,
the speaker has an intention to perform a request that has a function to get the
hearer to do what speaker wants. c. Commisive
Commisive refers to a speech acts that commits the speaker to do
something in the future such as promising, offering, swearing to do
something, etc. Yule states that commisive is a kind of speech acts that the
speakers use to commit themselves to do some future actions. He also adds
that in using commisive, the speaker makes the world fit the words (via the
speaker). It express what the speaker intends. The examples of commisive are
as follows:
13
(1)I‟ll be back soon.
(2)I‟m going to give you a gift.
The modal „will‟ or to be „going to‟ in certain rules, contexts, and situation
signifies a promise in which it will do in the future. Therefore, these
examples are considered as commisive. d. Expressive
In using expressive speech acts, the speaker expresses feelings and
attitudes about something. Yule states that expressive is a kind of speech acts
that states what the speaker feels. It expresses psychological states and can be
statements of pleasure, pain, like, dislike, joy or sorrow. In this case, the
speaker makes the words fit the world, which incorporates his/her feeling.
The examples of expressive are:
(1)Congratulation!
(2)I‟m really sorry.
Example 1 is used to congratulate someone and example 2 is an expression of
sympathy. e. Declarative
Declaration refers to a speech act which changes the state of affairs in the
world such as naming, resigning, sentencing, dismissing, excommunicating,
and christening. According to Yule declarative is a kind of speech acts that
change the world via the words (utterance). This is a very special category of
14
speech acts. In order to perform a declaration appropriately, the speaker has to have a special institutional role in specific context that provides rules for their use. The examples of declarative are as follows:
(1)Time out!
(2)Game over!
Utterance 1 and 2 bring about the changes in reality. They are not just statements. Utterance 1 is used to perform the act of ending the test and utterance is used to perform the ending of a game.
4. Interjection
According to Yuniarti (2018) in Ameka, interjections are little words
or nonwords which can stand on its own and have their own word class
found in any languages.
“It is perhaps true that apart form nouns and verbs, interjections–
those little words, or „non-words‟, which can constitute utterances by
themselves – are another word class found in all languages”
Ameka also states that interjections are relatively conventionalized
vocal gestures (or more generally linguistics gestures) which express a
speaker‟s mental state, action or attitude or reaction to a situation.
Interjection could also called as a filled pause, a part of speech that usually
does not have grammatical connection to the rest of the sentence that
simply expresses emotion of the speaker to the hearer or the listener.
15
Interjection is uninflected function words that express the attitude or emotion of the speaker. Besides being self-oriented expressions of emotions and attitude, interjection may also be directed at someone to acquire a desired reaction, for example to stop an action or to serve communicative intentions more broadly. a. Types of Interjection
Ameka states that interjections can be divided into two types there are primary Interjections and secondary Interjections.
1). Primary Interjections
Primary Interjections are little words or non-words which can stand on its own and do not normally include in other word classes such verb, noun, adjective, etc. For example, Ouch!, Wow!, Gee!, Oho!, Oops!, etc.
Example in sentence:
Gee, you look like you have it!
Oho, I have another suit! Wow!
You look fantastic today Ouch!
This scarf hurts me Oops! I am sorry
Primary Interjections may be made up of sounds and sounds sequences that are not found in other parts of the language such as tut-tut,
Psst!, Sh!, and etc.
16
2).Secondary Interjections
Secondary Interjections are those words which have independent
semantic values but can be used conventionally as utterances by
themselves to express a mental attitude or state. The examples of
secondary interjections are alarm calls and attention getters like Help!,
Fire!, Careful!, etc. Swearing and taboo words like Damn!, Hell!,
Heavens!, Christ! And other emotively used words such as Shame!,
Bother! And Drats! Are also the examples of secondary interjections.
Besides those examples, according to Yuniarti in Ameka (1992)
there also multi- morphemic one which constitute a phonological word
such as Goddammit! That may be referred to as complex interjections.
As quoted by Ameka from Bloomfield there are interjectional expressions called as secondary interjections. There are multiword expressions, phrases, which can be free utterance units and refer to mental acts, such as, bloody hell!, dear me!, My Goodness!, Thank God!, etc. These utterances are called as „interjectional phrases‟.
b. Classification Of Interjection
According to Yuniarti in Ameka (1992), interjections can be
classified into three classifications there are Expressive Interjections,
Conative Interjections and Phatic Interjections.
1) Expressive Interjections are vocal gestures which are symptoms of the
speaker‟s mental state. They may be subdivided into two groups:
17
(a) Emotive Interjections are those that express the speaker‟s state with
respect to the emotions and sensations they have at the time. For
example as quoted by Ameka, Yuk! „I feel disgust‟, Wow! „I am
surprised‟, Ouch! „I feel pain‟ etc.
(b) Cognitive Interjections are those that pertain to the state of
knowledge and thoughts of the speaker‟s at the time of the
utterance. For example, Aha! „I know this‟.
2) Conative Interjections are those expressions which are directed at an auditor. They either aimed at getting someone‟s attention or they demand on action or response from someone of a speaker‟s wants.
For example, sh! „I want silence here‟, eh? „I want to know something‟.
3) Phatic Interjections are used in the establishment and maintenance of communicative contact. A variety of conventional vocalizations, which express a speaker‟s mental attitude towards the ongoing discourse, that is back channeling or feedback signaling vocalizations, may be classified as phatic. For instance, mhm, uh-uh, yeah. c. Function of Interjection
According to Jakobson in Nugroho (2013), in Esai de Linguistique
Générale, said there are 6 language functions that are related to the constituent factors of verbal communication. Before knowing the functions of language need to know the factors that make up the communication process.In sending messages to opponents, the speakers need to know the
18
context to whom the message is sent and the text can be handled by
opponents in both oral and other forms. The message requires a code that is
understood by two parties.
The message requires contact, namely the physical channel and
psychological support between speakers and opponents of speech. This
contact allows both to build and maintain communication. Schematically the
constituent factors of communication can be described as follows. Each of
these factors gives birth to different linguistic functions like the following:
1. Referential
It is denotative,cognitive function which is oriented toward the „context‟.
To show things or facts, the refential function is the most obvious function of
language: for example:
“The earth is round.”
“Water boils at 100 degrees.”
Referential function is a function of language related to the context of
speech, namely the language used to refer to other things outside the
utterance. Jakobson explained that this function is a denotative function that
places the message reference as the most important element
2. Emotive
It is also known as “expressive function”. This function focuses on the
„addresser‟. This function comes out when we want to express our emotions
19
although we don‟t speak to give an information. In this function, we
communicate for ourselves more than other people who hear us or not. For
example: the interjections, which are words or phrases used to express sudden
surprise, pleasure or annoyance such as : “Bah!” , “Oh!” , “Yuck!” “Ouch”
,”Aie”. They are not components but equivalent of sentences. Moreover, as
Roman Jakobson‟s example in “Linguistics and Poetics” , only from the
changes in the sound shape of the same two words ( like “this evening” ), we
can make a list of forty or more emotional situations by diversifying its
expressive tint.
3. Conative
The conative function is an orientation toward „addressee‟. This function
finds it purest grammatical expression in vocative and imperative sentences,
and it helps us to make people do something and it includes orders and
prayers. For example: “Drink!” or “Go Away”
4. Phatic
The phatic function which sets for „contact‟ establishes, prolongs or
discontinues the communication. We use this function to know whether
channel works or whether the contact is still there. Our purpose in this
function firstly to maintain the contact with the person we are talking to. For
example: “Hello!” “Are you listening?” “Do you hear me?”.
It is also the first verbal function which is acquired by infants before they are
able to send or receive informative communication.
20
5. Metalingual
„Code‟ performs the “ metalingual function” which is used whenever the
addresser and the addressee need to check whether they use same code and
when the language is used to speak about language. For example: “What do
you mean by “krill”?” , “ What is plucked?”. In the process of language
learning, the acqusition of mother tongue includes wide use of metalingual
actions; for example aphasia may be described as a loss of capability for
metalingual actions.
6. Poetic
The poetic function which is orientation toward “message” and “the focus
on the message for its own sake”. This function includes more than poetry,
linguistics cannot limit itself just to the field of poetry. When we say “John
and Margery” instead of “Margery and John” or when we say “horrible
Harry” instead of “ terrible Harry , dreadful Harry” which have same
meaning, we use the poetic function of language.
When we analyze the functions of language for a given unit such as a

This research applied descriptive qualitative approach in which the
researcher focuses on interjection uttered by the students in SMA
Muhammadiyah 9 Makassar. The researcher asked the students to speak, in this
case the researcher has given a current topic that students will speak about. The
22
speaking was in conversation form. Then, the researcher recorded students conversation and analyzed interjection contained and then identified it based on the types, classification and function of interjection.
CHAPTER III
RESEARCH METHOD
A. Research Design
The method that is used in this research was descriptive qualitative method. It is intended to identify students‟ interjection in speaking English. Qualitative research refers to process - oriented methods use to understand, interpret, describe and develop a theory on a phenomenon or setting. It is a systematic, subjective approach use to describe life experiences and give them meaning.
Descriptive qualitative research is mostly associated with words, language and experiences rather than measurements, statistics and numerical figures. In this case, the researcher identified the students‟ interjection. The data were collected from the students‟ conversation to analyze what types, classification and function of interjection that students use in speaking English.
B. Research Participants
The subject in this study were the students of SMA Muhammadiyah 9
Makassar at Grade 11, whereas the object of this research were words, phrases and sentences in the form of interjections contained in students‟ English speaking.
C. Research Instrument
Burns (1994:925) states that the role of the researcher in qualitative
approach is as an instrument. The researcher acts as the planner, data
collector, analyst, the data interpreter and the reporter of the research findings
23
24
(Moleong, 2001: 121). There were two instruments that researcher used in
conducting the data. The instrument that was used in this research was
recording. Recording was used to record students English speaking or in this
case students‟ conversation in order to analyze students‟ interjection in script
of conversation that have been transcribed from students‟ recording.
D. Technique of Data Collection
The data is the object of the research target and its context. The data in this
study were all words, phrases and sentences containing interjections in
students‟ English speaking. In collecting data, the first the researcher observed
the subject that will be studied whether the subject is rich of source or not to
avoid dry source in the data. After the researcher was sure that the research
subjects were capable to be studied, the researcher started to do research.
So to conduct the main data, the researcher used recording technique to
record students‟ English speaking. The researcher listened to students English
speaking recording and find out the available interjection. Next, the researcher
transcribed the recorded students‟ conversation into script of conversation.
After the interjections are found, the interjections were collected and analyzed
based on its type, classifications and functions.
E.Technique of Data Analysis
According to Djajasudarma (2006), states that "Activities in data
analysis include three concurrent activities (1) data reduction, (2) data
presentation, and (3) conclusion drawing.
25
1. Data Reduction
Reduction is part of the analysis, not separate. Its function is to
sharpen, classify, direct, dispose of unnecessary, and organize so that
the interpretation can be drawn. The reduced data gives a sharper
picture of the results of the observation, also makes it easier for the
author to look back on the data obtained if needed. In this case the
researcher only focused in interjection contained in students‟
conversation recording. The researcher ignored another part of speech
that exist in the students‟ conversation recording.
2. Data Presentation
Data presentation is a set of structured information that gives the
possibility to draw conclusions and take action. The form of
presentation includes technical narratives, matrices, graphs, networks,
and charts. The aim was to make easily in reading and drawing
conclusions. In this case, the researcher presented a table contained
students‟ interjection analysis used in their conversation.
3. Conclusion Drawing
Drawing conclusions is only a part of one activity from a
complete configuration. In this stage, the researcher formulates
propositions related to the principle of logic, raises them as research
findings, then continues to review repeatedly the existing data,
grouping the data that has been formed, and propositions that have
been formulated. The next step is to report the full research results,
26
with new findings that are different from the findings that already exist. In this case, the researcher identified the types, classification and function of interjection mostly used.
CHAPTER IV
RESEARCH FINDINGS AND DISCUSSION
A. Findings
1. Types and Classification of Interjection
a. Types of Interjection
According to Ameka, interjection can be divided into two types.
Those are primary interjection and secondary interjection. Primary
interjections are little words or non-words which can stand on its own
and do not normally include in other word classes such verb, noun,
adjective etc while Secondary interjections are those words which
have independent semantic values but can be used conventionally as
utterances by themselves to express a mental attitude or state. The
following is the discussion of interjection types that are found in
students‟ conversation script.
b. Classification of interjection
According to Ameka, interjection can be classified into three
classifications. Those are expressive interjection, conative interjection
and phatic interjection. Expressive interjections are vocal gestures
which are symptoms of the speakers‟ mental state, that express the
speakers‟ state with respect to the emotion and sensation they have at
the same time and to pertain to the state of knowledge and thoughts of
27
28
the speakers‟ at the time of the utterance. Conative interjections are
those expression which are directed at an auditor. They are either
aimed at getting someone‟s attention or they demand on action or
response from. Phatic interjections are used in the establishment and
maintenance of communicative contact. A variety of conventional
vocalizations, which express a speakers‟ mental attitude towards the
ongoing discourse, that is back channelling or feedback signalling
vocalizations, may be classified as phatic interjection. c. Function of Interjection
According to Jacobson (1963: 64-66), interjection can be divided into
six functions of interjection. Those are referential function, emotive
function, conative function, phatic function, metalingual function and
poetic function. Referential functions are language functions that relate
to the context of speech, that is the language used to refer to anything
other than speech. Jakobson explained that this function is a denotative
function that places the message reference as the most important
element. Emotive functions express the speakers‟ state with respect to
the emotions and sensations they have at the same time. Conative
function are aimed at getting someone‟s attention or they demand on
action or response from someone of speakers‟ want. The function of
the language is associated with the phatic component of
communication in the form of contact. Language is used to build,
29
continue, or break communication. In addition, language is also useful
for knowing the functioning of flow of communication, and attracts
the attention of the speaker. Metalingual Function, this function is
centered on code, in this case is language. Language as the object of
description or conversation. Poetic Function, the function of this
language is emphasized in the message delivered in communication.
Language is used to convey a message. According to Jacobson the
function of poetic language is the function that makes message into
works of art.
Below is the data that are found after doing research. The data were the
students‟ conversation. there were 26 students in the class and then each
students had done conversation in pair. It means that there were 13 pairs but

B. Discussion
1. Types and Classifications of Interjection
d. Types of Introduction
According to Ameka, interjection can be divided into two types.
Those are primary interjection and secondary interjection. Primary
42
interjections are little words or non-words which can stand on its own and do not normally include in other word classes such verb, noun, adjective etc while Secondary interjections are those words which have independent semantic values but can be used conventionally as utterances by themselves to express a mental attitude or state. The following is the discussion of interjection types that are found in students‟ conversation script.
1) Types of Interjection in Data 1

classes such verb, noun, adjective and etc. it is related with the
previous research, Yuliana (2013) in her research entitled
43
“Interjection in English Comic Books Scooby-Doo Where Are
You” that found that interjection Wow! is a primary interjection because it is a little word which is not include in any words classes and it can stand on its own. Then, Interjection Thank God! in the conversation can be determined as secondary interjection because it has multiword expression, phrases, which can be free utterance unit and refer to mental act. If we compare with the previous research, it is related with Yuniarty (2018) in her research entitled
“Interjection in Students Conversation” that found interjection

opinion about the death body that is found in Tello river.
Interjection Oh my God! in conversation can be
determined as secondary interjection because it has multiword

66
According to Jacobson (1963: 64-66), interjection can be divided into six functions of interjection. Those are referential function, emotive function, conative function, phatic function, metalingual function and poetic function. Referential functions are language functions that relate to the context of speech, that is the language used to refer to anything other than speech. Jakobson explained that this function is a denotative function that places the message reference as the most important element. Emotive functions express the speakers‟ state with respect to the emotions and sensations they have at the same time. Conative function are aimed at getting someone‟s attention or they demand on action or response from someone of speakers‟ want. The function of the language is associated with the phatic component of communication in the form of contact. Language is used to build, continue, or break communication.
In addition, language is also useful for knowing the functioning of flow of communication, and attracts the attention of the speaker.
Metalingual Function, this function is centered on code, in this case is language. Language as the object of description or conversation.
Poetic Function, the function of this language is emphasized in the message delivered in communication. Language is used to convey a message. According to Jacobson the function of poetic language is the function that makes message into works of art.

CHAPTER V
CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTION
A. Conclusion
Based on the researcher findings in the previous chapter, the result
conclude that :
1. Primary interjection is the types of interjection that are mostly used by the
students in their English speaking or in this case in their conversation and
then followed by secondary interjection. Next, Expressive interjection is
the classification of interjection that are mostly used by the students in
their conversation and then followed by conative interjection and phatic
interjection.
2. Emotive is a function of interjection that are mostly used by the students
in their conversation (there 9 kinds of emotive function are found) and
then followed by referential function, phatic function, conative function,
metalingual function and poetic function which all of them just found only
one kind.
B. Suggestion
1. For the College Students of Unismuh Makassar
My suggestion for college students especially English students
department of Unismuh Makassar to pay attention about interjection
because interjection is not as simple as we thought. Interjection is a
77
78
complex one that has types, classification, meaning, form, function and
etc.
2. For the Next Researcher
My suggestion for the next researcher especially researcher who want
to do a research about interjection to do a research not just only focus on
types, classification and function of interjection but try the other kinds of
interjection such meaning and form of interjection.
