are main subject of this study. Aim of this research is to categorise the forms of expressive
illocutionaries. actions in the speech and the situation's context in the Spider-Man: Across
the Spider-Verse movie. The researcher used Halliday and Hassan's (1985) situational
context and Searle's (1979) categorization theory of illocutionary actions in this
investigation. This research uses a descriptive-qualitative technique to analyse the data.
given that the findings may take the form of words or phrases. Using the data source from
this study, the researcher successfully classified five distinct expressive illocutionary acts.
According to this study's findings, every character in the movie made 25 utterances that
demonstrated expressive speech actions. We categorize ten statements as indicative of
gratitude, five as evocative of compliments, four as apologetic, two as expressive of
complaint, and four as expressive of protest. This movie's expression of gratitude is the
most prominent.
