SPEECH ACTS AND THEIR FUNCTIONS IN COMMUNICATION
Abstract
Speech acts are fundamental components of communication that go beyond simply conveying information; they perform various social functions and shape the way individuals interact in different contexts. This article explores the theory of speech acts, focusing on their types, functions, and significance in communication. Drawing on the work of philosophers like J.L. Austin and John Searle, the paper examines the three core elements of speech acts—locutionary, illocutionary, and perlocutionary acts—and how they contribute to effective dialogue. The study discusses five major categories of speech acts: assertives, directives, commissives, expressives, and declarations, highlighting their role in establishing social relationships, facilitating cooperation, and negotiating power dynamics. Additionally, the importance of context in interpreting speech acts is emphasized, showcasing how the meaning of an utterance can change based on the situation and cultural norms. Ultimately, this article underscores the significance of understanding speech acts for effective communication in both everyday and formal settings.
