Expressive speech acts are speech acts that involve feelings and attitudes, such as apologising, thanking, congratulating, praising, expressing condolences, criticising, and satirising.

What are the types of expressive speech acts found in Barbie: Princess Charm School movie? 2.) How does the speaker feel when expressing expressive speech acts in the movie Barbie: Princess Charm School?. The researcher uses Searle's (1969) Speech Acts theory to analyse the data in the form of dialogue in the movie, by using descriptive qualitative research method.
