    ORAL COMMUNICATION IN CONTEXT


    Quarter 1 – Module 7:
    Types of Speech Act

    Communication happens effectively when the message is passed clearly; it becomes useful and
    meaningful when both the sender and the receiver understand the idea being put across. Indeed, there
    could be no valid reasons to ignore the need for communicating successfully.
    Moreover, to achieve effective communication, it is essential to know the different types of
    speech act which are the focus of this lesson. Hence, this module will help you distinguish the important
    role of speech act in achieving communicative competence by responding appropriately to various
    utterances for you to efficiently communicate with the world.

    Get Me Right!
    Have you ever been misunderstood? How do you feel every time someone misunderstands you?

    A speech act is an utterance that a speaker makes to achieve an intended effect.

    Speech acts are performed when a person offers an apology, greeting, request, complaint, invitation
    compliment, or refusal. Speech act is an act of communication.
    As we communicate with others, we use language without minding whether to use complete sentence or
    not. The number of words in a single utterance does not matter so long as we can get our message across.

    Three Types of Speech Act

    1. Locutionary act is the actual act of uttering or saying something.


    This act happens with the utterances of a sound, a word or even a phrase as a natural unit of speech.
    For the utterances to be a Locutionary Act, consider the following:
    • It has sense, and mostly importantly, for communication to take place.
    • It has the same meaning to both the speaker and the listener.
    • Utterances give rise to shared meaning when it is adjusted by the speaker for the listener.

    2. Illocutionary act is the social function of what is said.


    In an illocutionary speech act, it is not just saying something itself but with the act of saying something
    with the intention of:
    • stating an opinion, conforming, or denying something;
    • making a prediction, a promise, a request;
    • issuing an order or a decision; or
    • giving advice or permission.

    This Speech Act uses the Illocutionary Force of a statement, a confirmation, a denial, a
    prediction, a promise, a request, etc.

    3. Perlocutionary act refers to the consequent effect of what was said.


    This is based on the particular context in which the speech act was mentioned.
    This is seen when a particular effect is sought from either the speaker or the listener, or both. The
    response may not necessarily be physical or verbal and is elicited by:
    • inspiring or insulting
    • persuading/convincing; or
    • deterring/scaring

    The aim of Perlocutionary Speech Act is to change feelings, thoughts, or actions.

    Searle’s Classification of Speech Act


    As a response to Austin’s Speech Act Theory, John Searle (1976), a professor from the University of
    California, Berkeley, classified illocutionary acts into five distinct categories.

    1. Assertive – a type of illocutionary act in which the speaker expresses belief about the truth of a
    proposition. Some examples of an assertive act are suggesting, putting forward, swearing,
    boasting and concluding.
    Example: No one can love you better than I do.

    2. Directive – a type of illocutionary act in which the speaker tries to make the addressee perform an
    action. Some examples of a directive act are asking, ordering, requesting, inviting, advising, and
    begging.
    Example: Please maintain the cleanliness of our school.

    3. Commissive – a type of illocutionary act which commits the speaker to doing something in the
    future. Examples of a commissive act are promising, planning, vowing, and betting.
    Example: From this moment on, I will love you and honor you for the rest of my life.

    4. Expressive – a type of illocutionary act in which the speaker expresses his/her feelings or
    emotional reactions. Some examples of an expressive act are thanking, apologizing, welcoming
    and deploring.
    Example: Thanks heavens, you came to save me! I owe you my life.

    5. Declaration– a type of illocutionary act which brings a change in the external situation. Simply
    put, declarations bring into existence or cause the state of affairs which they refer to. Some
    examples of declarations are blessing, firing, baptizing, bidding, passing a sentence, and
    excommunicating.
    Example: You are hired!
    By saying that someone is hired, an employee causes or brings about the person’s
    acceptance to job; consequently, this changes his external situation.
