Acts of direct and indirect speech
need to know to understand this issue:
Click on the underlined words to see these issues .
When speaking, we can distinguish two aspects in our messages:
a) A parlor act: the statement, ie what we say, the words we use.
b) An illocutionary act: the intention of what we say.
When match our message parlor the act and illocutionary act, we say that the speech act is direct.
Eg: What time is it?
In the example we noted earlier:
parlor Act: interrogative (a question)
illocutionary act: Interrogative (the intent of the question is to obtain information)
is a direct speech act.
When not match the parlor act and illocutionary act, we say that the speech act is indirect.
eg: - can you tell me the time?
parlor Act: interrogative
illocutionary act: managers (because I'm hoping that the transfer complies with an order)
This is therefore an indirect speech act .
another example:
- Can you hear me?
Act booth: interrogative
illocutionary act: managers (the intention is that the recipient does not answer me if you just let me hear , the intention is that the receiver be quiet, that is, to fulfill an order )
indirect speech act.
