The illocutionary act is the main analysis to be analyzed in this study. It has to do with the speakers intention and what they want to achieve by speaking. As stated by Yule , illocutionary acts are divided into five types consisting of representative, directive, commissive, expressive, and declarative. In this study, the researcher applied illocutionary acts to the text at a press conference held by United Nations Women on “Gender Equality in the 2030 Agenda” on February 15, 2018. This study focuses on the type of illocutionary used and the most widely used type in the press conference text. The research design used in this research is Descriptive Qualitative. The data was obtained in the form of a press conference text through the UN Womens press website. The research instrument is the researcher herself. The researcher connects the existing data with the theoretical framework in the Illocutionary Act which refers to George Yule to interpret the findings in the research data and conclude the final results of the study. This study found 5 types of illocutionary acts with a total of 44 data. The results of the study obtained data with 27 representative illocutionary acts consisting of 1 warning, 7 assumptions, 10 demands, 6 affirmations, 1 stating, and 2 hypotheses, ommissive 8 consisting of 3 promises, 1 swears, 3 advises, and 1 does, directives 2 ; 1 advise and 1 advice, expressive 3; 1 praise, 2 thank, and express 4; 3 states 1 asks. and the most widely used illocutionary speech act is representative of the claim where there are 10 data from 27 representative data and a total of 44 data. so in this study there are all types of illocutionary acts in full because in press conference activities there is reciprocity between listeners and speakers. It is this reciprocity or response that distinguishes the results of the current study from some previous studies that only involved one-way conversations.
