[[Speech act theory]] studies the way in which words are used, not only to present information, but also to carry out actions.

The [[speech act theory]] was introduced by Oxford philosopher J.L. Austin in "How to Do Things With Words" and further developed by American philosopher John Searle. It considers the degree to which utterances are said to perform locutionary acts, illocutionary acts, and/or perlocutionary acts.

Many philosophers and linguists, such as Andreas Kemmerling, study speech act theory as a way to better understand human communication.

For very obvious reasons this theory has been influential in dramatic theory and performance analysis as well, as writers like [[Eli Rozik]] have demonstrated.[https://core.ac.uk/download/pdf/235888004.pdf]

+What has come to be known as [[Speech Act Theory]] is an approach to human communication that  studies the way in which words are used, not only to present information, but also to carry out actions and was probably inspired by the writings of Wittgenstein, but introduced in their 20th century incarnation by Oxford philosopher J.L. Austin in "How to Do Things With Words" and further developed by American philosopher John Searle. It considers the degree to which utterances are said to perform locutionary acts, illocutionary acts, and/or perlocutionary acts.
 Though there has been some criticism of the theory, many philosophers and linguists, study [[speech act theory]] as a way to better understand human communication and has had an influence on the general theory and practice literary and performance criticism.
