Abstract

This research is entitled Directive Speech Acts in the Novel “God Allows You to Be a Prostitute! Muhidin M. Dahlan's work: Pragmatic Studies uses research methods, the observation method with katat techniques. This novel is widely discussed because researchers want to know what speech acts and what functions are contained in the novel. The data analysis used is descriptive with a pragmatic approach. The research results show that there are 6 (six) speech acts, namely: asking, begging, demanding, prohibiting, challenging, and advising. This directive is not said because in this novel there is a lot of asking and pleading for a character named Kiran in his living life who is disappointed in facing life, some have advice and challenges. The functions of non-verbal speech are fun, competitive, cooperative, and challenging. This is because the story at the beginning has a lot of fun, namely when the character Kiran lives his life as a devout person, and at the end, in his life journey, many things don't go according to his wishes, so he faces many challenges.
