3. A speech act is an
utterance defined in terms of a
speaker's intention and the
effect it has on a listener. It is an
important part of
communication and the action
that the speaker hopes to
provoke in his or her audience.
4. Speech-act theory was introduced in 1975
by Oxford philosopher John Langshaw
Austin in "How to Do Things With Words"
and further developed by American
philosopher Joh Rogers Searle. It
considers three levels or components of
utterances: locutionary acts,
illocutionary acts, and perlocutionary
acts. Illocutionary speech acts can also
be broken down into different families,
grouped together by their intent of usage.
5. LOCUTIONARY ACTS
Act of producing some linguistic sounds
or marks with a certain meaning and
reference. What is required for the
utterances to be a locutionary is that is
has sense, and has the same meaning
to both the speaker and the listener.
-making of a meaningful statement,
saying something that a hearer
understands
6. ILLOCUTIONARY ACTS
-carry a directive for the audience. It
might be a promise, an order, an
apology, or an expression of
thanks—or merely an answer to a
question, to inform the other person
in the conversation.
8. FIVE MOST COMMON
CLASSES:
• Verdictives- typified by
giving of a verdict by a jury,
umpire, arbitrator such as
acquit, grade, estimate,
diagnose
9. • Exercitives- which are the
exercising of power, rights, or
influence such as appoint, order,
advise, and warm.
• Commissives- which commit the
speaker to do something but also
include declarations or
announcements of intention such
as promise, guarantee, bet,
oppose.
10. • Behabitives- a miscellaneous
groups concerned with attitudes
and social behavior such as
apologies, criticize, bless,
challenge
• Expositives – which clarify how
uterances fit ongoing discourse,
or how they are being; argue,
postulate, affirm, concede.
11. PERLOCUTIONARY ACTS
-bring about a consequence to the
audience. They have an effect on
the hearer, in feelings, thoughts, or
actions, for example, changing
someone's mind. Unlike illocutionary
acts, perlocutionary acts can project
a sense of fear into the audience.
This area of study is concerned with the ways in which words can be used not only to present information but also to carry out actions.
