Jericho's IdeasJerichoB (talk) 20:27, 31 March 2019 (UTC)

• Add on more to the Perlocutionary and Performative Speech Acts as there is not as much info there. Find out more information and add it onto the article.JerichoB (talk) 20:27, 31 March 2019 (UTC)

→Perf. Speech act section needs cited sources.Cakers01 (talk) 16:06, 1 April 2019 (UTC)

• The talk page mentions that the article is too technical. The article uses terms that an actual linguist could understand. However, how would a normal, everyday person understand these terms? We could use simple terms that people can understand, or explain what some linguistic terms are to make it easier for people to read. JerichoB (talk) 20:27, 31 March 2019 (UTC)

→If you do this, pick a specific paragraph or few sentences to focus on. You don't need to overall the whole article; just pick a spot where you are knowledgeable and able to make needed improvements. Think also about how you can explain *why* you made those particular improvements, which you'll do for the reflective essay later.Cakers01 (talk) 16:06, 1 April 2019 (UTC)

• The examples could be better. We can pick simple and easier to understand examples that show what specific speech act is. JerichoB (talk) 20:27, 31 March 2019 (UTC)
• This source could be useful in generic facts for speech acts. JerichoB (talk) 20:40, 31 March 2019 (UTC)
• This source goes more in depth with the different types of speech acts. JerichoB (talk) 20:45, 31 March 2019 (UTC)

Jericho's ideas for editsJerichoB (talk) 20:20, 6 April 2019 (UTC)

• For performative speech acts, to clarify if for some people, maybe add something from J.L Austin. He claimed that performative sentences could "happy or unhappy". They were happy if the speaker does the actions he talks about. They were unhappy if this did not happen.JerichoB (talk) 20:32, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
• Can mention that main point of performative speech acts are to make declarations. JerichoB (talk) 20:32, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
• Perfomatives use explicit verbs instead of implicit ones. For example, stating "I intend to go." does not really mean you performed the action. Therefore it cannot be used in performative speech acts. JerichoB (talk) 20:44, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
• The main reason for these additions is to make it clearer for people who do not have a linguistic background. Also, performative speech acts does not have as much data as the others. All of these were take from the second source (Essays in Speech Acts).JerichoB (talk) 20:44, 6 April 2019 (UTC)

Polishing WorkJerichoB (talk) 17:56, 14 April 2019 (UTC)

• Will try to find sources for performative speech acts.JerichoB (talk) 17:56, 14 April 2019 (UTC)
• Will try to fix the case of close paraphrasing in the first paragraph (apologizing, promising, ordering). I will try to edit it so it does not closely resemble the original source (maybe by omitting some of the verbs or adding some new ones)JerichoB (talk) 17:56, 14 April 2019 (UTC)
• I will look and review the article for any more cases of plagiarism and fix it when I see oneJerichoB (talk) 17:56, 14 April 2019 (UTC)
• I also contacted help from a Wikipedia expert and am currently waiting for a responseJerichoB (talk) 17:56, 14 April 2019 (UTC)

Final Drafts to add in from Jericho~~~~

* To add into performative speech acts, "J.L. Austin claimed that performative sentences could be "happy or unhappy". They were only happy if the speaker does the actions he or she talks about. They were unhappy if this did not happen.JerichoB (talk) 22:32, 20 April 2019 (UTC)

* Performative speech acts use explicit verbs instead of implicit ones. For example, stating "I intend to go." does not really mean you performed the action. Therefore it is an implicit verb, and therefore it cannot be used in performative speech acts.JerichoB (talk) 22:32, 20 April 2019 (UTC)

* Will add in some verbs and delete some verbs in close paraphrased list. Will also mention that speech acts serves their function once they are said or communicated..JerichoB (talk) 22:32, 20 April 2019 (UTC)

== Link to '''illocutions''': == Following substantially an account of H. P. Grice, Searle suggests that we are able to derive meaning out of indirect speech acts by means of a cooperative process out of which we are able to derive multiple [[Illocutionary act|illocutions]]<nowiki>; however, the process he proposes does not seem to accurately solve the problem ~~~~

Link to utterance:

A locutionary act: the performance of an utterance: the actual utterance and its apparent meaning, comprising any and all of its verbal, social, and rhetorical meanings, all of which correspond to the verbal, syntactic and semantic aspects of any meaningful utterance; ~~~~

Clarification to example of perlocutionary effect:

The perlocutionary effect on the listener would persuade them to maybe make a sandwich for the speaker. - revision: The perlocutionary effect on the listener could be the effect of being persuaded by the utterance. For example, after hearing the utterance, the listener could be persuaded to make a sandwich for the speaker. ~~~~

Clarification of example of indirect speech act:

One may, in appropriate circumstances, request Peter to do the dishes by just saying, "Peter ...!", or one can promise to do the dishes by saying, "Me!" - revision: For example, a mother may request their child to do the dishes just by saying, "Peter ...!", or one can promise to do the dishes just by saying, "Me!" ~~~~

Clarification of example of indirect speech act:

This is indirect because the literal meaning of "I have class" does not entail any sort of rejection. - revision: This is indirect because the literal meaning of "I have class" does not entail any sort of rejection to the proposal of meeting for coffee. Instead, it indicates to the speaker that the second speaker has class and, therefore, is unable to get coffee. The indirect speech act being the indirect rejection to the proposal made by the first speaker. ~~~~
