Abstract

This article examines Speech Act Theory as one of the fundamental concepts in modern pragmatics and analyzes its theoretical and practical manifestations in literary discourse. The study is based on the theoretical framework developed by J. L. Austin and J. Searle, focusing on the classification of speech acts and their illocutionary and perlocutionary dimensions. The research also incorporates Stephen Levinson’s pragmatic approach to contextual meaning and Deborah Schiffrin’s discourse analysis to explore the communicative function of speech acts in shaping social interaction.
