Abstract :
The research aimed to describe the phatic utterance functions expressed by the characters in the movie entitled The Secret Life of Pets. This was descriptivequalitative research. The data of the study were the words, phrases, and clauses expressing the phatic utterances in the movie. The data collection technique was content analysis. The data analysis technique was ethnographic; therefore, domain analysis, taxonomy analysis, componential analysis, and cultural theme analysis were carried out. The data was analyzed on the basis of the socio-pragmatic approach. The research showed that there were four functions of phatic utterances found in the movie entitled The Secret Life of Pets, namely breaking the silence, having small talks, keeping the conversation going, and expressing solidarity; the most dominant function was breaking the silence. Breaking the silence as the dominant phatic utterance strengthened the notion that phatic utterance was not informational. This dominance was closely related to the object of the research in which breaking the silence followed by having small talks were very important in their everyday life
