SPEECH ACT THEORY WITHIN THE SOCIAL CONTEXT: EXPLORATIONS AND IMPLICATIONS

Annotatsiya

Speech Act Theory provides a framework for analyzing how speakers perform various acts through language, such as making requests, giving commands, or expressing beliefs. This paper explores the application of Speech Act Theory within the social context, focusing on the role of language in shaping social interactions and relationships. Also it will be describing how the social context in which language is used affects human communication. Through a review of existing linguistic provisions and case studies, the work delves into the implications of Speech Act Theory for understanding communication dynamics, power structures, and cultural norms. By examining how speech acts are interpreted and reacted to within different social settings, we aim to shed light on the complexities of language use and its impact on social behavior starting with Speech Act Theory, a theory that formalizes the notion that what people actually intend their utterances to mean is often not clearly spelled out in the words that they speak or write.
