1a. What is speech act theory?
Speech act theory is a framework for studying all acts of communication. Speech acts concern locutions and the illocutionary force behind locutions. Our aim in communication is to realise the force of a locution - whether the addressee is to take the utterance as an assertion, a question or a command. Example: A baby screams (this is a locution). Her mother passes the baby a dummy (the mother's assumption being that the illocutionary force behind the baby's locution was "I want my dummy!") The baby screams again (another locution). The mother takes away the dummy and gives the baby her bottle (assumption: the illocutionary force was not "I want my dummy!" It was "I want my bottle!") The baby is content. 4

1. What is speech act theory? Speech act theory is a theory of language based on J. L. Austin’s How to Do Things with Words. Its basic view is that language is as much a mode of action as it is a means of conveying information. As John Searle puts it, all linguistic communication involves linguistic acts. Linguistic communication is the production of the sentence in the performance of a speech act. The basic emphasis of speech act theory is on what an utterer (U) means by his utterance (x) rather than what x means in a language (L).
