Speech Act Theory and Grice's Cooperative Principle set the basics of linguistics related with translation studies in terms of the meaning and its effect between two different languages, the meaning and intentionality are primary elements to any translator seeks to transfer the exact message of the text in the source language . Speech Act Theory by Austin (1962) demonstrates how words in an utterance carry out

This research paper will examine the linguistic theories of speech act and Gricean maxims and their relations to pragmatic equivalence . It will provide linguist's opinions about types of speech act and felicity conditions and the maxims and the implicature from different sources . This paper assists the translator to understand the theories and will make him able to convey the

foregrounds the play’s action. Modeled after the power of speech-acts (utterances considered as actions, particularly in terms of its intention, purpose or effect), the theatrical use of charm I propose here predominantly resides in the vocal chords of a dictator (Oberon); that is, it can control, decisively affect and determine. Incantations are not physical—nor do they move. This essay, therefore, is interested in the illocutionary forces of Oberon’s fascistic incantations as opposed to his tangible

In Michael Lambek’s Toward an Ethics of the Act, Lambek discusses the ethics of performance and practice rituals through perlocution and illocution. Anthony Gidden’s talks about the duality of agency (action) and structure and argues that that’s two cannot exist without each other. These two compare and contrast in analyzing social actions. In Toward an Ethics of the Act, Lambek uses the speeches that are also know as performatives that “utter a performance is to do something” . Illocution and

Many of the topics addressed in both narrow and broad views derive from three major pragmatic theories: Speech Acts, Conversational Implicatures,

utter a sentence in a proper environment is not merely a description, but a real action. And in terms of gender, language “performative” is an access to gender identification. I will firstly examine Austin’s idea of performative utterance and illocutionary acts. I will then look at Butler’s gender performativity and how language works on identifying social gender. In conclusion, I will reiterate my argument and conclude the theory suggested by Austin and Butler. REVIEW OF AUSTIN According to Austin

factors that may cause misinterpretation between interlocutors, and of the level of analysis at which such misinterpretation becomes visible. The third notion is micropragmatics and macropragmatics. Micropragmatics is defined as the study of illocutionary force at the utterance level while macropragmatics refers to the study of a sequence of utterances which form discourses/texts.

Because mealtimes are perceived as socializing events, family interactions are more likely to include a wide range of control acts that aim at controlling children behaviors. In a cross-cultural study of families dinnertime discourse, Blum-Kulka (1997a) indicated the use of “social control acts” or directives as an important aspect of family dinners across cultures (p. 142). Similarly, in a study of 20 Swedish family dinner talk, Brumark (2006) stated that regulatory utterances constitute about %7

The researcher in this section will shed light on pragmatics, speech act theory, and Islamic expressions as stated in previous studies. Interestingly, the researcher will study the effect of using the modern technology (i.e. Facebook) on pragmatic's functions. 6.1. Pragmatics (Mey, 2001: 6) construes pragmatics as "the use of language in human communication". Semantic meaning and pragmatic meaning are two different issues; interpreting the pragmatic meaning of any Islamic expression
