III. Evaluation
The strength
In the first article, one of the strength of it is the author uses theories which appropriate
with the discussion. Theory of I mean is theory by Austin. Theories is important in research
because without theories, our research will be hesitated by the readers. The author is able to
discuss the theories. I mean the author can elaborate the point of the theory. For example in
introduction, the first paragraph and the fifth line, the author gives theory from Austin. And in
the next paragraph, the author explain the theory by relating it with Shrek character. The IMRaD
components are complete. IMRaD is the characteristics of a reliable article, so if you want to
review an article, you should see the IMRaD, it is complete or not. In the second article, the
IMRaD is also complete and also used good theories.
The weakness
The first article doesn’t serve the examples of sentences that show the types of speech
act. It is difficult for reader to decide whether this result is true or not because the authors don’t
give sentences that show that those are the sentences of this types of speech act. While in the
second journal, the weakness is placed in the way the author discussed it. There is comparison
whether the declarative are more dominant than imperatives. The authors focus on imperative
and declarative speech act but don’t give the presentation of the usage. And also the way authors
discuss their research is twisted, they are not to the point in saying what they want to convey.
