    Speech Acts

    Uploaded by

    Gerald Jem Bernandino
    The document discusses Austin's Speech Act Theory, which distinguishes between locutionary, illocutionary, and perlocutionary acts in communication. The locutionary act refers to the literal meaning of what is said. The illocutionary act refers to the social function or act performed through speaking. The perlocutionary act refers to the effects or consequences of what is said. The document then provides examples of classifying statements according to Searle's categories of speech acts and exercises for students to practice distinguishing between the three types of acts.
