More about the book
This introduction explores the concepts of "speech acts" and "pragmatics," emphasizing that language study lacks neutral terminology. It defines speech acts as fundamental units of communication, distinct from sentences, and categorizes them into illocutionary acts (like statements and questions) and perlocutionary acts (effects on listeners).
