Searles Indir-ect Speech Act Theory and It's Linguistic Philosophy

Qingling Meng

Abstract

Speech Act Theory, advanced by J. Austin and developed by J. Searle, has become one of the important research subjects in philosophy, linguistics, and modern pragmatics. Searle's Indirect Speech Act Theory studies meaning from the perspective of use and communication, and provides an innovative explanation of the essence of illocutionary force. Searle emphasizes the relationship between language and mind, believing that meaning should be explained with regards to the intentionality in the speech acts. This paper explores Searle's Indirect Speech Act Theory and the related linguistic philosophy.
