1.1 Background of the study
In communication, human convey the information such as thought, concept, purpose, feeling and also conveying emotions directly, in this communication process, speech event and speech act are happened together in one of act situation (Chaer, 2010). Language indicate a hierarchy in public relation (Amelia, 2016). In this case it can be seen and demonstrated how a language is a very powerful thing to communicate with each other, the language can also be used to convey ideas and desires (Rido, 2020). Evayani & Rido (2019), state that the use of language can possibly achieve certain purpose such as marginalizing certain social actors or selecting the word choices. Besides language can also be used to convey an argument that can be contained in the text and speech (Superior & Gulo, 2017). In a speech text and we can see how they convey a meaning in the sentence and can see how their contents in a text and speech (Kuswoyo & Siregar, 2019).
Speech act and speech event are two symptoms which connected in one process that is communication process (Chaer, 2010). According to Searle, in all linguistics communications has a speech act. He proposes that communication is not just enough to a symbol, word or sentence but also the result from the fire of performance of speech acts (Searle 33). Thus, it can be said that the speech act is the basic unit of communication. Speech act is a basic analysis in pragmatics study.

locutionary act, illocutionary act, and perlocutionary act. Among those all, illocutionary act is absolutely essential to any discussion of speech acts, and considers the illocutionary acts as the speech acts itself. It describes what the speaker does in uttering to the hearer in the context (Austin, 1962). After the illocutionary act is uttered by the speaker, there will be the result or effect of the words. This act is known as perlocutionary act (an act of affecting something) it means that perlocutionary act is the effect of the utterance which is said by the speaker to the listener.
Illocutionary and perlocutionary are one of the main important part of speech act because the perlocutionary are implied after the illocutionary act. This study is focuses on observing the illocutionary and perlocutionary that found in queen’s Elizabeth on coronavirus speech on April 6, 2010 at the Telegraph YouTube Chanel.
