This module will guide you on how to define of Speech Acts. Speech Act is an
utterance that a speaker makes to achieve an intended effect. Some of the function
of speech act which are carried out using speech acts are offering an apology ,
greeting, request, complaint, invitation, compliment, or refusal.

Three types of speech Act

According to J.L. Austin (1962), a philisopher of language and the developer of the
Speech Act theory, there are three types of acts in every utterance, given the right
circumtances or context these are:

1. Locutionaryact is the actual act of uttering.

“Please do the dishes”

2. Illocutionary act is the social function of what is said.

“by uttering the locution “please do the dishes”, the speaker

request the
Addressee to wash the dishes.
3.Perlocutionary act is the resulting act of what is said . This effect is based on the
particular context in which the speech act was mentioned.
“Please do the dishes” would lead to the
addressee washing the dishes

9
Austin also introduced the concept of performative utterance statements which
enable the speaker to perform something just by stating it. In this manner, verbs that
execute the speech act that they intend to effect are called performatives.

For example, the phrase “I now pronounce you husband and wife”. When uttered by
an authorized person such as judge will have the actual effect of the binding a
couple marriage.

As a response to Austin Act Theory, John Searle (197), a professor from the
University of California, Berkeley, classified illocutionary acts into five distinct
categories.

1. Assertive- types of illocutionary act in which the speaker expressed belief about
the truth of a proposition. Some examples of an assertive act are suggesting, putting
forward, swearing boasting and concluding.

Example: No one makes better pancakes than I do

2. Directive- a type of illocutionary act in which the speaker tries to make the
addressee perform an action. Some examples of a directive act are asking, ordering,
requesting, inviting, advising, and begging

Example: Please close the door.

3. Commissive- A type of lllocutionary act which commits the speaker to doing

something in the future. Examples of commissive act are promising, planning,
vowing, and betting.

Example: from now on, I will participate in a group activity

4. Expressive- A type of illocutionary act in which the speaker expresses his/her

feelings or emotional reactions. Some examples are thanking, apologizing,
welcoming and deploring.

Example: I am sorry for not helping out in our group projects and
letting you do all work.

5. Declaration- A type of illocutionary act which brings a change in the external

situation. Simply put, declarations bring into existence or cause of the state of affairs
which they refer to, some examples of declarations are blessing, firing, baptizing,
passing a sentence, and excommunicating.

Example: you are fired!

By saying that someone is fired , an employer causes or brings
about the person’s unemployment, thus changing his external 10
situation.
People communicate everyday to establish and maintain relationship, know and
understand themselves, and find meaning in the daily grind. Here you will also learn
the types of communicative strategy:

1. Nomination- a speaker carries out nomination to collaboratively and productively

establish a topic, when you employ this strategy you try to open a topic with a people
you are talking to.

2. Restriction- refers to any limitation you may have as a speaker. When

communicating in the classroom, in a meeting, or while hanging out with your
friends, you are typically given specific instructions that you must follow. For example
in your class, you might be asked by your teacher to brainstorm on peer pressure or
deliver a speech on digital natives.

3. Turn-Taking- pertains to the process by which people decide who takes the
conversational floor. There is a code of behaviour behind establishing and sustaining
a productive conversation, but primary idea is to give all communicators a chance to
speak.

4. Topic Control- covers how procedural formality or informality affects the

development of the topic in conversations. For example in a meetings, you may only
have a turn to speak after the chairperson directs you to do so.

5. Topic Shifting- it is where one part of a conversation ends and where another
begins. When shifting from one topic to another, you have to be very intuitive. Make
sure that the previous topic was nurtured enough to generate adequate views. You
may also effective conversational transitions to indicate a shift like “By the way”, “In
addition to what you said”.. “Which reminds me of”, and the like.

6. Repair- Refers to how speakers address the problems in speaking, listening, and
comprehending that they may be encounter in a conversation. For example, if
everybody in the conversations seems to talk at the same time, give way and
appreciate other’s initiative to set the conversation back to its topic.

7. Termination- refers to conversation participants’ close –initiating expressions that

end a topic in a conversation. Most of the time, the topic initiator takes responsibility
