Some people have difficulty in developing their logical reasoning
especially in academic writing. This study helps to develop the logical reasoning
of the readers and how they can use it in their utterances because it is about one
kind of implied relation between two propositions called presupposition. This is
surely beneficial for developing their analysis and presenting argumentation
which will be used in their life. This research analyzes presuppositions in play
script Death of a Salesman by Arthur Miller. The objectives of this research are to
identify the types of presuppositions founds in Death of a Salesman play script
and to identify the language function of utterances containing the special
presupposition in Death of a Salesman play script. This research used a qualitative
method. The source of data was play script of Arthur Miller’s Death of a
Salesman. This research used the theory of presupposition and language functions
of speech acts to analyze the data. In this study, the writer found 48 data of special
presuppositions. From 48 data, the writer found 4 types of presuppositions. They
are lexical presupposition (22 utterances), counterfactual presupposition (6
utterances), structural presupposition (18 utterances) and factive presupposition (2
utterances). The writer also found 2 language functions in the use of the
presuppositions. They are representatives and directives. The lexical
presuppositions show both functions of representatives and directives. The
counterfactual presuppositions show representatives functions. The structural
presuppositions show both functions of representatives and directives. The factive
presuppositions show representative functions.
