An effort to separate language from its cultural context is to neglect social conditions that give resonance and meaning in
communication.

b.      Findings Concerning the Force of the Utterances in the Sorong Serah Ceremony
The results of the data analysis concerning the force of the utterances used by the speech participants in the Sorong Serah ceremony can be stated as follows. In general, all utterances used by speech participants contained locutionary acts.

was not found in the utterances that were used by the speech participants.      Commissive function of speech acts used by the speech participants in the Sorong  Serah ceremony could be seen from the utterances that were oriented to future  action. The results of data analysis concerning the expressive function of speech acts used by the speech participants in Sorong Serah ceremony showed that there were certain forms speech acts that can be categorized into an expression of sympathy, happiness, and apologizing.

According to Searle’s (1969), the representative speech acts function is concerned with expressing the intention of message through the speakers’ utterances. The declaration functions of speech act in the study were mainly concerned with the utterances produced by speech participants that were in accordance with proposition and reality. It means that, the utterances used by the speech participants to express the relevancy between the statement and the action happening.
