Pictorial Illocutionary Acts

1977
A picture, say of a man, can be used in an indefinite number of ways. It can be used to conjure up memories, to advertise the clothes that he wears, to inform an audience of a rare disease, or to give a visual description of the symptoms of infective hepatitis.

Communicative and Illocutionary Acts

2003
In his much discussed essay Meaning (1957) H. P. Grice chose an approach to Pragmatics which is independent of all specific terms of speech act theory and thereby not burdened with specific problems of that theory.

2023
International audience ; Contrary to most speech acts theorists, Sbisà’s reading of Austin rightly emphasizes the conceptual, or “internal,” link between the necessity of uptake for an illocutionary act to be achieved and its conventional nature.
