The type of performative verb used is also adjusted to the purpose of the speech, which can be declarative, representative, directive, expressive, or commissive. This research discusses this, with data taken from Japanese children's stories, to find out the types of performative speech that often appear in Japanese children's stories, and the types of performative verbs that are often used. The theory used in this research is pragmatics theory, with descriptive qualitative research method, literature study research technique, which then the data is studied with distributional method and element sorting technique. The results of this study show that implicit performative speech acts are more common than explicit performative speech acts in Japanese children's stories. Furthermore, the implicit performative.
