I am wondering if there are any fairly exhaustive lists of 'key' speech acts. Of course they're always changing (growing), so I guess (in Dutch they do, way too much in my view). They describe what we 'do with words', of course (John Austin, I believe).
I found a division at Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speech_act#Classifying_illocuti onary_speech_acts: assertives, directives, commissives, expressives, declarations. I also found one Dore (1975) list of children's speech acts: children's utterances were realizations of one of nine primitive speech acts: labelling, repeating, answering, requesting (action) requesting (answer), calling, greeting, protesting, practicing. References to a site will be most useful, I think. (Thanks) 1 person has voted this message useful |
