Abstract

The research intends to discuss the pragmatic force of the commissive utterances of the merchants during interaction with the purchasers at Pasa Bawah Market in Bukittinggi city, Indonesia. The data were collected by recording any utterances of the merchants containing the speech act of commissive. Interviewing was also conducted with some random merchants to ensure their intentions. The concept of commissive speech acts, illocutionary acts, and context was used to analyze the data. The result of the analysis indicate that there are at least three kinds of pragmatic forces in commissive utterances. They are to promise, offer, and make vows.
