SpeechActTheorywasproposedbyJohnAustinandfurtherdevelopedbyJohnSearle.
Theybelievethatlanguageisnotonlyusedtoinformortodescribethingsbutto“dothings”,toperformacts.Actionsperformedthroughutterancesaregenerallycalledspeechacts.
speechactsinclude:statement,pledge保證,question,order,expressinggratitude,apology,congratulation,complaint,etc.Forexample:
Shallwechangeanotherroom?”(suggestion)HowIenvyhim!(envy,jealousy)There’saspiderinyourhair.(warning)I’vegotagun.(threatening)Ineedthesalt.(requesting)AccordingtoAustin,sentencescanbesubdividedintotwocategories.1.Constatives(敘述話語)Asentenceiscapableofexpressingacompletethoughtormeaning.Wecanjudgewhetherthesentenceistrueornotbyitsmeaning.“Theearthisflat.”(=aproposition+astatement)2.Performatives(行為話語)Peopleusesentences(utterance)todothings.Wecanjudgewhetheraperformativeisvalidornotbyfelicity(措辭恰當(dāng)).“I’llcometodinnertomorrow.”(=aproposition+apromise)
Exampleofinfelicity:
