This research is a pragmatic approach study of Analysis of Speech Acts in Moana Movie: A Pragmatic Perspective. This research aims to find the speech acts performed by the main characters in Moana‟s movie. Specifically, this research focuses on identifying the kinds of speech acts found in the main characters using Austin’s theory, and analyzing what the most dominant one used and classified into a type of illocutionary act using Searle’s classification. This research used the script of the Moana movie containing the dialogues as a source of the data and this research applied a qualitative method. In this study, it was found that there were 127 speech acts used by the main characters of Moana based on Austin's theory, which included 17 locutionary acts, 102 illocutionary acts, and 8 perlocutionary acts. Of the three types of speech above, Illocutionary acts are the most commonly found in Moana with 102 utterances out of the number of illocutionary acts found. Based on Searle's classification, there are 5 kinds of Illocutionary acts, including 37 utterances found in the Representative, 33 utterances in the directive, 25 expressive utterances, 5 utterances from the declaration, and 2 utterances in the commissive. Based on the findings, the most dominant one used is an Illocutionary act which is 102 utterances and has been classified into a representative there are 37 utterances found in representative. Moreover, utterances indicating speech acts by the main characters have an intended meaning in which function of the pragmatic approach is applied such as when the main characters perform their speech acts, especially in illocutionary acts directly in several tones of voice and use body language to emphasize their speech acts which performed via eye contact, facial expression, and gesture. Those nonverbal strategies have certain functions concerned with the speech acts or message sent by the speaker to the hearer
