对行事行为分类的诠释与批判

Annotation and Criticism on the Classifications of "Illocutionary Act"

通过对以往语言学家对行事行为的分类的观察,阐述了不同种类的行事行为。其实在英语中,间接言语行为一般比直接言语行为更多与礼貌联系在一起。应该观察更大的范围,而不是一个单一的话语实施一个单一的言语行为。言语活动就是很好的材料。对言语活动的分析是研究更多言外之意的另一种途经。

Through the observation of the classifications of ＂illocutionary acts＂ by different scholars, this paper expounds the illocutionary acts of different kinds. In fact, indirect speech act generally has more connections with politeness than direct speech act in English. We should take a larger scope for observation, not just one individual utterance performing only one individual speech act. Speech event is a very good material for observation. So the analysis of the speech event is another way for studying more illocutionary acts.
