Document Summary
Uterances: speaking in a way that departs from the sentence ideal but is perfectly understandable, is a locuionary act (disinguishes the actual speaking of a linguisically meaningful message from the performance of a diferent sort of act) Illocuionary acts: speaks in a way where the speaker is requesing an acion, informaion, etc, is essenially an acional interpretaion of an uterance, is prety much a speech act. Searle has argued that certain characterisics must be present in a speaker"s uterance, beliefs, and intenions for that uterance to work properly. Consituive rules: deined by rules in the pragmaics of language, tell us how one can do a greeing for example, some uterances involve making a proposiion, situaional rules. There must be suicient reason for hearers to infer that the speaker believes he or she is able to do the future behavior. It must seem that the speaker thinks the recipient wants or is willing for the speaker"s future behavior to be done.
