Description
: This article explores the key concepts of pragmatics, speech act
theory, and discourse analysis, all of which are central to understanding the
dynamics of communication in both spoken and written language. Pragmatics
examines how meaning is shaped by context, highlighting the role of situational
factors, speaker intentions, and social roles in interpreting language. Speech act
theory, rooted in the work of J.L. Austin and John Searle, builds on this by
categorizing language use into three types of acts—locutionary, illocutionary,
and perlocutionary—that focus on how language performs actions, such as
requesting or asserting. Discourse analysis extends these ideas by studying the
structure and organization of longer stretches of language, looking at how
speakers manage turn-taking, maintain coherence, and reflect power dynamics
in conversation. The article emphasizes the interconnectedness of these fields,
showing how they together offer a comprehensive framework for analyzing
language use in real-life communication. The article is valuable for students and
scholars of linguistics, communication, and social interaction, offering insights
into the complex processes of meaning-making that underlie everyday discourse.
