Learning Exploration:

Types of Speech Act

Making a statement may be the primary use of language, but there are other things we can do with
words. We can make requests, ask questions, give orders, make promises, give thanks or offer apologies.
Moreover, almost any speech act is really the performance of several acts at once, distinguished by
different aspects of the speaker's intention: there is the act of saying something, what one does in saying
it, such as requesting or promising, and how one is trying to affect one's audience.
We all know that speech context and speech styles are just two parts of a communicative strategy.
The third prerequisite is the Speech Act. We know that we perform all sorts of 'speech acts' besides
making statements. These serve as vehicle for all sorts of social activity. By this time, we will be focusing
on the types of speech act. So, it’s time to gear up your mind with the new topic for today’s lesson.
Learning Exploration:

What is a Speech Act?

Speech acts are speakers’ utterances which convey meaning and make listeners do specific things.

There are three types of Speech Act:

1. Locutionary Act refers to the actual utterance of the speaker.
Example: When you ask someone, “Can you pass the salt?” – The literal meaning concerns the hearer’s
ability to pass the salt.
Two types of Locutionary Act
a. utterance acts – where something is said (or a sound is made) and which may not have any meaning.
b. propositional acts – where a particular reference is made.
Learning Exploration:

There are three types of Speech Act:

2. Illocutionary Act refers to the intended utterance by the speaker (performance).
Example: “Can you pass the salt?” - In illocution, it is being interpreted by the receiver that the speaker
requested him to pass the salt.
Illocutionary acts are classified into five distinct categories:
a. Assertive – It is an act in which the speaker expresses belief about the truth of a proposition. Some
examples are suggesting, swearing, boasting, concluding and putting forward.
Example: No one makes better sandwich than I do.
b. Directive – It is an act in which the speaker tries to make the addressee perform an action. Some
examples are asking, ordering, requesting, inviting, advising and begging.
Example: Would you make me a cup of tea?
Learning Exploration:

Illocutionary acts are classified into five distinct categories:

c. Commissive – It is an act which commits the speaker to doing something in the future. Some
examples are promising, planning, vowing, betting.
Example: I promise to come at eight and cook a nice dinner for you.
d. Expressive – It is an act in which the speaker expresses his/her feelings or emotional reactions. Some
examples are thanking, apologizing, welcoming, deploring.
Example: Thank you for your kind offer.
e. Declaration – It is an act which brings a change in the external situation. Some examples of
declarations are blessing, firing, baptizing, bidding, passing a sentence and excommunicating.
Example: I bequeath all my property to my beloved fiancée.
Learning Exploration:

There are three types of Speech Act:

3. Perlocutionary Act refers to the actions that result from the locution or what we bring about or achieve
by saying something such as convincing, persuading, deterring or surprising.
Example: “Can you pass the salt?” - if illocutions cause listeners to do something, they are perlocutions.
Learning Exploration:

Remember: A speaker can use different locution acts to achieve the same illocutionary force or use one
locution for many different purposes. For instance, when you ask someone, “Could you water the plants?”
The literal meaning concerns the hearer’s ability to water the plants whereas its illocution is to request the
hearer to water the plants for the speaker. If illocutions cause the listeners to do something, they are
perlocutions; in this case, the hearer is watering the plants
