Abstract

This study focuses on the use of Google Assistant (GA) on Android smartphones as an implementation of the Speech Recognition System. Google Assistant enables voice communication with the device without physical interaction. The objective of this research is to analyze and thoroughly describe the pragmatic communication governed by the speech recognition system in the Google Assistant features on Android. A descriptive qualitative research method is employed, involving Android smartphone users as research subjects and the Google Assistant feature as the research object. Data collection is carried out through direct observation and recorded interactions, then analyzed using content analysis techniques based on Searle's pragmatics: directives, declaratives, assertives, commissives, and expressives. The results show that Google Assistant demonstrates good capability in providing contextual and informative responses to users' assertive, commissive, directive, declarative, and expressive speech acts. The significant potential of GA is revealed when users give specific and communicative instructions, eliciting precise, informative, and relevant responses.
