  • Speech Act Theory and the European Integration: The Case of the Eastern Enlargement
    2015
    Co-Authors: Hrvoje Špehar, Vedran Jerbić
    Abstract:

    This paper aims to analyse and demonstrate the possibilities of applying Speech Act Theory in the framework of European integration studies by examining the case of the Eastern European enlargement. We start with the brief overview of the Speech Act Theory as being delineated by J. L. Austin and John R. Searle. Then we examine the interdisciplinary "spill-over" into the International relations studies, particularly Security studies. Finally, drawing on the recent rationalist-constructivist discussion around Eastern enlargement we try to show how Austinian legacy, which "limits" itself on the very "surface" of the available public/official Speech and its effects, can help us grasp the historically specific moment of the accession of post-communist regimes that have challenged the foundations of the EU integration process.

  • Speech Act Theory
    The International Encyclopedia of Language and Social Interaction, 2015
    Co-Authors: Francois Cooren
    Abstract:

    Speech Act Theory is a Theory of language initially proposed by the analytic philosopher John Langshaw Austin. In his posthumously published book How to do Things with Words, Austin explores the various ways by which people do things with words, which leads him to come up with a first opposition between constative and performative utterances. Austin then discards this opposition in favor of the distinction between locutionary Acts (the Act of uttering words), illocutionary Acts (what we do in saying something) and perlocutionary Acts (what we do by saying something). This Theory was taken up, among others, by one of his students, John R. Searle as well as Jacques Derrida. Keywords: Jacques Derrida; John L. Austin; John R. Searle; iterability; Speech Act Theory

  • Implications of Indirect Speech Act Theory for Japanese Teaching
    Journal of Zhejiang Ocean University, 2009
    Co-Authors: Gao Xing-lan
    Abstract:

    Searle's indirect Speech Act Theory not only is an important part of the pragmatics,but also provides a great deal of inspiration for Japanese teaching:the relationship should be properly handled between language form and function,language appropriation and accuracy.Applying the indirect Speech Act Theory into Japanese teaching will help students further know the nature of language so as to enhance students' communicative competence.
