Abstract

This paper entitled “The Realization of Requesting Speech Acts Used by School-Age Children (A Case Study of 10- to 12-Year-Old Children)” is aimed to investigate the strategies of requesting speech acts used by the children and to examine the influence of sociopragmatic factors toward the realization.This study employed qualitative research design. The informants of this study were 30 children whose ages are from 10 to 12 years old. The data were collected through oral Discourse Completion Task (DCT) and role play and analyzed using Trosborg’s (1995) request strategies.This study reveals that the informants realized their requests through four categories proposed by Trosborg and are distributed specifically in four strategies: indirect requests: hints; conventionally indirect (hearer-oriented conditions): ability, willingness, and permission; conventionally indirect (speaker-based conditions): needs and demands; and direct requests: imperatives and elliptical phrases with conventionally indirect (hearer-oriented conditions): ability, willingness, and permission as the most frequently used strategy and followed by direct requests: imperatives and elliptical phrases. In addition, the informants took sociopragmatic factors (power, social distance, and ranking of imposition) into account in performing their requests. Power appears to be more influential than social distance and ranking of imposition. But each of them is not the sole factor that influences the realization of requests because they are interrelated to each other.
