    Penelitian ini berjudul “Speech Acts Found in Sarcastic Utterances in Speechless TV Series.” Tujuan dari penelitian ini ialah untuk mengidentifikasi tipe ucapan sarkastik, untuk menemukan tindak tutur pada ucapan sarkastik yang ditemukan, dan untuk menggambarkan bagaimana ucapan sarkastik terwujud dalam seri TV Speechless. Penelitian ini menerapkan metode kualitatif dan data dianalisis secara deskriptif. Data diklasifikasikan berdasarkan teori sarkasme oleh Attardo (2001) dan teori tindak tutur oleh Searle (1976). Berdasarkan teori Attardo, terdapat enam tipe sarkasme yang bisa dipertimbangkan untuk mengidentifikasi ucapan sebagai sarkastik, yaitu: Group Affiliation, Sophistication, Evaluation, Politeness, Persuasive Aspect, dan Retract ability. Menurut teori oleh Searle, ada lima tipe tindak tutur, yaitu: Deklaratif, Representatif, Ekspresif, Direktif, dan Komisif. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa ditemukannya 45 ucapan sarkastik di seri TV Speechless. Setelah analisis dilakukan, ada 5 ucapan sebagai group affiliation, 4 ucapan sebagai sophistication, 11 ucapan sebagai evaluation, 13 ucapan sebagai politeness, 4 ucapan sebagai persuasive aspect, dan 8 ucapan sebagai retract ability. Ditemukan juga empat tindak tutur yang dilakukan saat bertutur, yaitu: 22 tindak tutur representatif, 12 tindak tutur ekspresif, 8 tindak tutur direktif, dan 3 tindak tutur komisif. Hasil penelitian juga menunjukkan bahwa konteks dan makna yang ingin dimaksudkan oleh penutur memegang peran penting dalam pewujudan ucapan sarkastik dalam penuturan. Ucapan sarkasik umumnya terwujud dalam empat jenis, keempat jenis ini biasanya dilakukan dengan menyampaikan suatu hal secara sarkastik untuk mengevaluasi perilaku dan kondisi pendengar, memerintahkan pendengar untuk melakukan atau memercayai sesuatu, menggunakan ragam bahasa untuk mengekspresikan perasaan secara tidak langsung, dan menggunakan diksi yang memberikan sedikit dampak kepada pendengar guna mencegah adanya perasaan terancam. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk memberikan pemahaman mendalam kepada pembaca mengenai ucapan sarkastik dan tindak tutur yang ditemukan pada skrip seri TV Speechless.
