I do love this guy! I'm in a small investigation at my university, and, well, my play in it contains all these basic concepts to Pragmatics. Furthermore, I'm glad that my mother talked me into studying English, otherwise I wouldn't understand these videos. So, from Lima, Peru, Thank you for making these explanations!
The perlocutionary act denotes the intended effect that the speaker wants to achieve with the illocutionary act. In the case of the example used in this E-Lecture ("Don't do that!"), the warning (illocutionary act) may be intended to "prevent the young child from an electric shock". It is important to note that the intended effect is always special to the respective situation. JH
Thank you for your hard working but there is one thing you should take in consideration next time your doing a great video like this , Please don’t talk like a book or read from a book, we can read a book at home. The reason why we watch lectures on RU-vid is to get clear insights about theories mentioned in books and watching your videos don’t make it easier but it makes it harder. Love and respect ✊
A small observation , minute 6 .41 what is it , not to perform ? It is the action of touching, etc. the socket , it is not the socket it self ,once the socket does not involve any act or consequence by it self Great that this type of videos are on line
The term "promise" suggests that the person who is invited to the party would have less interest in his/her joining the party than the person who invited him/her, because the act of joining the party would be at the expense of the invited person, which, with parties, is usually not the case. Under certain conditions the utterance could be correct, for example, if the invited person is much more popular than the inviting person.
This YT channel is incredible! I'm a foreign language student and I'm really planning to study a master of linguistics in some future, and this channel motivates me to do it! Your explanations are perfectly clear! I've watched your videos since 2 years ago when I studied a course of general linguistics, keep it going! Congrats!
A wonderful lecture by a wonderful lecturer , everything was clear, thank you so much and go on presenting such lectures especially on pragmatic theories
Honestly, I do not know whether Chomsky dismisses Searle's approach to speeach acts. But certainly, as far as I know, pragmatics has not been a major goal of Chomsky's research. JH
Thank you very much for an excellent lecture. I will be using your lectures as a source of reference during my degree an glad i stumbled acros s such excellent tutorials. Thank you
Very good explanation. I would like to find more about speech theory act related to the notions of face (Goffman) and relational work (Locher and Watts.)
What is the general view in the linguistic community about the Searle vs. Derrida debate (or non-debate) about speech acts that happened in the early 70s?
I guess that will depend on the power relationship between you and that person. Not the actual one, but the power relationship that each speaker BELIEVES he has with the other one. The observer must know what each of them thinks his position of power is before attempting to name the many potential meanings.
