1. Social constraints means restrictions or compulsions imposed

by society, these constraints are backed by organised social
authoirty. They restrict our freedom in ways that are difficult to
fight against. In example in government or informal norms
maintained by society and include cultural preferences that seek
to control individual freedoms through laws embody
government power.
Social constraints are very important for people's freedom of
speech. Social constraints are used to increase respect for the
views and beliefs that others have and this is needed in the
creation of society and no boundaries will result in the
imposition of stronger group beliefs and ideas which ultimately
leads to conflict, restrictions can also be used to control
violence and resolve differences of opinion in society. Example
of a sociocultural constraints speech, sex refers to male or
female biological charachteristic in individual constraints and
gender refers to socially determined masculine or feminine
characteristics in sociocultural constraints.
2. Yes, because in the theory of social identity a group of people
is not something foreign or artificial that is attached to a person,
but is a real, true and vital part of that person, so their language
is an identity in their group.

3. According Austin (1962), there are three types of acts in every

utterance in daily communication. Locutionary act is the
production of meaningful utterances and expressions (“go
away!”, “come here”, “who are you?”, etc) which leads to
Illocutionary act, the intention of producing meaningful
expression (promise, offering, etc), which causes the
performance of Perlocutionary act, which is the effect of the
locutionary and illocutionary act (behavior, feeling, belief, etc).
