This podcast is taken from Mel Robbins and Jay Shetty's YouTube channel. In this research, the researcher used pragmatic studies using theory from Searle and Vanderveken (1985). This research can be classified into qualitative research with sentences as the main data. The main data of this research are sentences containing assertive speech act functions used by female and male YouTubers in vlog podcasts using English. In collecting data, the researcher used the observation method from Sudaryanto (1993), using the tapping technique, non-participative observation technique, recording technique, and note technique.
