    This is a clear and simple explanation of Austin’s speech act theory. Thank you.

    This is the best explanation of differences between illocotionary and perlocutionary acts that I've found on the Internet. 👏
    EDIT: I've passed the exam. 🎉😄

    I have a question: If the illocution were to encapsulate the hidden meanings/intentions rather than the manifest intentions, what would the term be for this kind of speech act?

    • @thisbookistaboo
      @thisbookistaboo  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      If I understand the question correctly, I think you're talking about an indirect speech act. In indirect speech acts, although the addressee must make inferences to arrive at the illocution, we still say that the illocution is manifest in that the speaker intends the addressee to recognize that the speaker intends to communicate this illocution. For example, if you and a friend are choosing a movie to watch and your friend says, "that movie sounds boring," you would understand the illocution to be that they don't want to see that movie. th-cam.com/video/mw-By0jmcVI/w-d-xo.html
      On the other hand, if you're thinking of some kind of subterfuge where the speaker has an agenda they don't want the addressee to know about, this is quite a different matter. An obvious example is lying. A lie involves an assertion that the speaker knows is false; however, the manifest intention (that is, the intention the speaker wants the addressee to recognize) is to communicate that the speaker believes it to be true and wants the addressee to believe it to be true. For example, if a student falsely denies cheating, their manifest intention is the assertion that they didn't cheat. Under Grice's theory of conversation, lies and other subterfuge are uncooperative. th-cam.com/video/bqsgQ2BvZBI/w-d-xo.html

    What happens when the speech act has no effect? Or the intended effect?

    • @thisbookistaboo
      @thisbookistaboo  ปีที่แล้ว

      If nobody perceives the speech act (e.g., the intended recipient doesn't hear it or a written message goes unread), then presumably there's no perlocutionary effect.
      As for the second question, Austin is clear that the speaker cannot control the perlocutionary effect. It is common for a speech act to have a perlocutionary effect different from the intended effect.

      @@thisbookistaboo I have another doubt, what was the view of the language before the theory of speech acts? My teacher told me that every theory is a response of a previous one. However, she didn't explain what theory was before speech acts and I couldnt find it anywhere
      Thanks in advance

      @@ritaaguirre9563 A full picture of the landscape prior to Austin is too big to put here, so I'll paint it in broad brushstrokes. The main approach was to look at linguistic meaning in terms of truth conditions (see, e.g., Bertrand Russell's and Gottlob Frege's approaches). Austin demonstrated that not all of linguistic meaning is subject to truth conditions. Similarly, and in roughly the same time period, H.P. Grice was developing his theory of conversational meaning (see my videos on Gricean pragmatics).
