Abstract
The study aims to identify and analyze the categories of directive illocutionary acts performed by Ugga, the mother character in The Croods: A New Age movie using Searle's (1979) theory, supported by Halliday and Hasan's (1989) theory of the context of the situation. Employing observation and note-taking methods for data collection, this study utilizes a descriptive qualitative approach for analysis. The results revealed five categories of directive illocutionary acts: Ordering (14 utterances, 41.18%), directing (2 utterances, 5.88%), warning (2 utterances, 5.88%), asking (11 utterances, 32.35%), and suggesting (5 utterances, 14.71%). The study found ordering to be the most dominant illocutionary act category, indicating that characters often exert authority or urgency in their interactions toward other characters.

Studi ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi dan menganalisis kategori tindakan ilokusi direktif yang dilakukan oleh Ugga, tokoh ibu dalam film The Croods: A New Age dengan menggunakan teori Searle (1979), didukung oleh teori Halliday dan Hasan (1989) mengenai konteks situasi.
