PORTFOLIO 4: SPEECH ACTS
speech acts: constatives and performatives
This video contains clear information about the Speech Acts. The different speech acts that are found in English, and these are divided into Constatives and Performatives. Constatives are sentences that describe something true or false, whereas performatives are sentences that denote an action. In other words, constative is and performatives does. If we look at the traffic signals, they are examples of performatives speech acts because they inspire people to do an action, whereas a piece of advice which says "park closes at 6 PM" it's considered a true speech act.
Some conditions which performative speech acts must possess are:
- They should be authoritative
- They should be understood
- They should be clear
- They should be able to be executed
If performative speech acts does not have these conditions, it will not denote an action. They are called "felicity conditions"as well.
