Example Of Speech Act

Speech act is the action performed by a speaker with the utterance. An The speaker's intention is obvious to a hearer and it can be often complemented or replaced by a physical act like a gesture. Speech acts are used to describe actions like asking, ordering, questioning, threatening, accusing, insulting or promising. For exampleexample, by saying 'I'll kill you', one is not only speaking but also threatening the hearer. The first one, who mentioned phenomena of speech acts, was the British philosopher J.L. Austin. In his work 'How To Do Things With Words' [1962] he argued with logical positivism theory, which says that only statements that are logically or empirically verifiable have cognitive meaning. He claimed that people not only describe their surroundings by words, but they may also create the reality using them. He coined the terms constative utterance (that is the one which describes the world)...show more content...

According to Austin– brak odwoЕ‚ania do literatiru, there are 3 levels of a speech act: locutionary, illocutionary and perlocutionary. Locutionary act is an act of producing a meaningful expression, in simple words– it is saying something. Illocutionary act shows the force hidden behind the words (illocutionary force), the true meaning e.g. 'I'll give you a gift' is not only a declarative sentence, but also a promise made towards the hearer. Perlocutionary act is the reaction of the hearer to speaker's words, it is an effect of the utterance e.g. the hearer is waiting for a gift when he has heard from the speaker 'I'll give you a gift'.

Speech acts can be divided in two categories direct and indirect, depending on words used by the speaker. The aim of this work is to briefly describe their phenomena in the first, theoretical part and to show their practical use in the second

T.S. Eliot once wrote, "What we call the beginning is often the end. And to make an end is to make a beginning. The end is where we start from." Every landmark in our lives will end but there is always a beginning to an end. As each new path ends a new one begins. Graduation marks the end of a path but as it ends a new path begins.

Life is an adventure. We started out by walking on a winding path as we entered the destination of kindergarten. As our lives ventured on down the winding path, we met new friends and new life experiences along the way. As the path widens, we see ourselves on a countryroad. We started elementary school and we constantly gained new knowledge to help us progress in our journey. As we continued along in our...show more content...

As the paved path merged, we found ourselves no longer walking, but driving in cars on the highway in high school. Life started to get more challenging and things started to move at a faster pace. In this part of our lives we got to choose which way we wanted to go, left or right. We found hardships up the steep hills and we might have stopped at many intersections. However, we always proceeded with the flow of traffic no matter what obstacle gets in our way, we always managed to get through it. As our lives traveled on the highway, we saw others take different roads along our journey, but we always found ourselves choosing to keep with our commitment of continuing. We all had to make pit stops along the way through homework and projects, but it fueled us to get stronger and helped us gain knowledge to make it up those steep hills and intersections. Finally, when graduation comes, the highway ends and merges to a new beginning as we leave our memories in the past in our rearview mirror. Miles and miles of opportunities await us. However, each one of us has a different goal or route in life, and each of us will find different exits along the way to fulfill our dream. Some of us will take the express lanes and continue our education through college. Some of us might follow the freeway not knowing where fate will take us. Life isn't always easy on the freeway. Some of us might get stuck in traffic jams. Some

Conflicting cultures. Does being from multiple cultures that have conflicts with each other benefit or hurt us? Before I answer this question, I would like to ask you another question, "What do you call a hot Indian girl? Bomb Bae." Before you feel pity for my whole nation, and come under the belief that this sense of humour is applicable to all from where I am from. First let me ask you, where am I from? For the past 7 years when someone would ask me about my nationality, I always answered with Pindia. Although this is not a country, it is where I am from. My father is from Pakistan and my mother is from India, being from 2 conflicting cultures, I find it tough to fit in only one. Furthermore, I was born in the US and I currently am in an American School. But, I also feel as though the American culture has been...show more content...

The largest conflict that comes up is that whenever they play each other in cricket, I have to just shut up, and make sure I don't anger both of my parents. I remember about 6 years ago when the two teams played each other for a spot in the semi–finals of the T20 tournament. We were in Dubai with my family, cousins, and some of our friends who were also Indian or Pakistani. I remember every single 4, 6 or wicket that occurred for both teams, and how I was the only person who was cheering for every single movement that occurred. By the end, I realized two things, one that the two teams were rivals, and that this was probably why people were giving me stares of disgust, and that I should only vote for one team. Although in reality this is only a small conflict, and whoever wins doesn't affect me directly, I still find that it is a massive issue for me. On a larger scale this basically means that the small differences and disputes that the countries have with each other make it tough for me to choose a

Informative Speech Reflection Paper After giving and analyzing my informative speech I learned many new things that will help me in my future speeches. Looking at the aspects of content, delivery, and organization I have learned by gibing this speech and being in this class how to better come across to my audience to make my topic as clear and as informative as I can. This assignment has helped me gain a better understanding of my topic, but also has helped me gain further knowledge on writing and giving my speech to an audience, along with opened my eyes to improvements I need to make in my future speeches. I have learned many new techniques and aspects to include in my speeches to make my future speeches better. Content is a very important part of an informative speech. I focused a lot on having strong points in my informative speech. I focused on discussing the types of service dogs, and the qualifications to have a service dog, along with the training a service dog undergoes. My main points I chose to include in my informative speech I expressed very well and went into a good amount of detail, however in some areas I could have given a more in–depth explanation. One thing I could have improved on in regard to my content would have been giving more background information on serve dogs, by including things like how long they have been around and the number of service dogs currently in the U.S. By doing this I would have added not only more content to my speech,

Examples Of Opening Speech

Opening speech (Formal opening) Good afternoon ladies and gentleman, thanks everyone for being here today at this important conference. We are honored to be the first speakers here. Before I begin, I would like to complement this institution on its efforts to create a sustainable environment. (Hook) Let me tell you a story, in 1878, Paris hosted the first International Exposition of Electricity, as part of the World Fair hosted at that city the same year. The city was lively with excitement, as great inventors and innovators from around the world came to exhibit their ideas–Ideas that would drive a new era of human development. (Hook continued, used later as reference) New technology such as the telephone, and photography was displayed. However, the star of the show was undoubtedly Thomas Edison. Who in Paris displayed his electric light bulb. Electric lighting bulbs had been installed all along the Avenue de l'Opera and the Place de l'Opera. When the electric switched was flipped, light flooded the streets of Paris and France stepped into the age of electric energy. People were happy to embrace electrification and wanted electrification, but electricity was extremely expensive. At the beginning only the very rich could afford access. It wasn't until 1937,...show more content...

The Power of Speech Speech is a powerful tool, if used correctly. Speech can do many things, but there are two main things that speech is the best at. It can create and embellish as it pleases. Well–spoken words can also twist the truth and manipulate. Richard the Third is an excellent example of both these attributes. Richard uses the power of speech to gain what he wants. He shows the success that this tool can bring if used carefully. Richard makes himself a saint, a simple disabled innocent who is wronged by everyone. He also shows the failures it brings when overconfidence and haste spoil it. He loses his charm as he no longer treads carefully and simply drives his way through conversations. Richard is a good example of the power of speech as he uses his persuasion to accomplish his goals. From the very beginning, Richard is shown as being a highly persuasive individual. He is very careful to show himself as one who only speaks sweet words making him a very compelling character. He flatters his way to his goals and pulls the wool over everyone's eyes as he does so. There are several scenes throughout the play where Richard has done this. In his attempt to woo Lady Anne, Richard is speaking to the enraged woman, noting on that it is "wonderful when angels are so angry" (1.2.72). Richard's response to this seething rage is to create a beautiful angry angel of her. Another attempt at this flattery is made when he responds that "your [Lady Anne's] bedchamber" would be

Hello Karen, Anyssa, Lauren, Hannah Pruett, DCS et al... By now I've heard everyone's concerns about what culminated yesterday and what is best for Savvy while managing foreseeable hurdles in the expectations placed on you by myself, Kelley and DCS. After sleeping (a little), I've given all of my thought to what is the best for Savannah now and near term, and it entails a slight adjustment of how things were left yesterday. First, take a deep breath, yes this is a crisis, but we will manage it and debrief when Savannah is home. For now, let's all take the next step together. That includes DCS as I doubt any people there or in the juvenile protective system expects the sudden removal of parental rights or abruptly having to take responsibility...show more content...

Karen wants to take in Savannah in this situation, and both parents are satisfied with that, while Anyssa and Lauren are concerned about meeting the entire commitment of time depending on how long it is. For these and the following reasons I request, through Hannah Pruett, DCS approval of moving Savannah to Karen Baird's home as the primary placement (already passed the background check and prior home inspection) allowing Lauren & Anyssa to care for Savannah 13 full overnights in 30 days. These are the to be scheduled between the three of them and informing DCS of Savannah's location beforehand. These two homes make up the three people who Savannah is most comfortable with as alternates to Kelley & I, and their combined knowledge of Savvy comes closest to us. Hopefully, this addresses all concerns as I know it addresses Savannah's concern that her caregivers know everything or almost everything that her parents know about making her spaghetti. And most importantly I hope this is amenable to DCS as all other limitation/requirements would remain intact. To be clear, this is not an emergency adjustment, and would be amenable to happen as soon as time allows for it and also as I understand neither Lauren or Anyssa are withdrawing from the full commitment at this point. Likewise, Karen would keep her 100% of the time if the need arose (although

Ever since the dawn of mankind, some form of language has been used to communicate with one another. Language and the ability to speak to one another to get things done is what I believe makes humankind the most sophisticated species on the planet. However, over the last few hundred years, one language in particular has become one of the most universally taught subjects: English. With several hundred, or maybe even thousands of languages being spoken by nearly seven billion people today, English has become the method of communication across several different countries and cultures. If, for example, English wasn't adopted as a globally respected language, then it would make communicating with other cultures very difficult. Don't get me...show more content...

Whether we are trying to communicate across several countries or simplifying documents and dialects locally, there needs to be some form of legislation when it comes to language, and I believe instilling a global language can help us achieve all of the above. Both my mother's and my father's side of the family migrated from Cuba to Miami in the late 50's, early 60's. When I was born my parents had to work during the day, so my grandmother, Aba, used to always take care of me, and since she migrated from Cuba, she mainly spoke Spanish with knowledge in only a few English words. When Aba passed away in 2001, I went to a family friend who also prominently spoke Spanish. Today, at the age of 18, I can proudly say that those five first years of life did not prepare me enough for Spanish, since I am mostly an English–bred Hispanic. Sure, I can start a simple conversation and maybe talk Spanish for a little, but overall, I am known as the family "gringo," which is a harsh way of saying I can't speak Spanish. This hasn't just happened to me. Phillip M. Carter, a professor of linguistics at the FIU Department of English, has found that Miami is undergoing what is known as a "language shift." The shift means that Miami is becoming less in touch with its Spanish–speaking roots and is turning to more English–based communication. Carter's own research indicates that "Miami–born Latinos even

"If you fail to plan, you plan to fail." I can hear one of my grandmother's highly regarded quotes resonating inside my head. Apprehension consumed me when I entered college as an undecided major. Unexpectedly that all changed a few weeks into my first semester. My grandmother had a stroke which ultimately affected her speech and was in dire need of a Speech Pathologist. This is what initially sparked my interest in this field. I was determined on working with the geriatric population because of the experience and attachment I endured with my grandmother. However, the irrefutable fact that this is my passion became evident when I started working as an Assistant Teacher at Clarke Schools for Hearing and Speech. At Clarke I currently...show more content...

While I am learning an abundance of valuable information at Clarke, my background knowledge derived from my undergraduate studies. I double majored in Speech Pathology and Psychology at Brooklyn College because I believe they compliment each other well when it comes to the studies of speech. Different aspects of Psychology including cognitive science, neuroscience, and biology are essential in understanding speech disorders, language processing, production, acquisition, and comprehension. In my second year at Brooklyn College, I observed children at a nearby elementary school for 50 hours. During this time I observed how children at the kindergarten level interacted with each other. I shadowed the teacher in order to learn different teaching strategies that will be beneficial and applicable as a Speech Therapist. The opportunity to observe the work overview of a Speech Pathologist, has tremendously solidified my interest in this field. At the Diana Rogovin Speech Center at Brooklyn College, I observed clients of various ages with different speech language disorders including articulation, language, voice, fluency and accent modification. Observing clinicians at the speech center gave me the opportunity to learn how important client–clinician interaction is for the session and how essential it is to build a good relationship with the client. Although I learned the

Examples Of Parts Of Speech

PARTS OF SPEECH "Parts of speech, is the sense in which the word is used and not the letters of which it is composed, that determines the part of speech to which it belongs" –William Cobbett In contemporary Linguistics, the label parts of speech by and large discarded in favor of the term word clause or syntactic category.

There is a plot "And a story where the parts of speech are placed By you and they will stay only when You make their purpose clear.....""

–Elizabeth Jennings, "The House of Words." Through this poem we can come to know how every part of speech works. In the English language, words can be considered as the smallest elements that have distinctive meanings. Based on their use and functions, words are categorized into several types or parts of speech. This article will offer definitions and examples for the 8 major parts of speech in English grammar: noun, pronoun, verb, adverb, adjective, conjunction, preposition, and interjection. 1.Noun This part of a speech refers to words that are used to name persons, things, animals, places, ideas, or events.

2. Pronoun

A pronoun is a part of a speech which functions as a replacement for a noun. Some examples of pronouns are: I, it, he, she, mine, his, hers, we, they, theirs, and ours.

3. Adjective

This part of a speech is used to describe a noun or a pronoun. Adjectives can specify the quality, the size, and the number of nouns or

Reflection Speech

Initially, when I first registered to enroll for this online Speech class, I did not know what to expect. I thought that we would only meet in order to present the required speeches and then I thought that we would have a virtual classroom to give speeches were we were all online at once. Now I know that both of my guesses were wrong. For our speeches, we either record them online and invite classmates as audience members to watch, or have a live audience of family and/or friends that record you giving your speech in your living room or somewhere similar. When I found out that these were the ways I would be giving my speeches, I was so surprised. When I am speaking in front of a live audience in a classroom, I get so nervous, so I thought that this method of giving presentations might be less anxious for me.

The first speech was the Most Embarrassing Moment speech. I honestly was still so nervous to record this even though I would just be looking at my computer screen. It felt kind of weird, almost as if I was video chatting with myself. After I memorized my speech and sent in my recording, I immediately assumed that I failed because the professor would think that I was too close to the screen or I was too loud or I moved my head around a lot. Then I ended up getting an A on it. Everything I thought that I did wrong was either irrelevant or did not distract from my presentation as a whole. Since I only missed one point, I can say that what I did well was all the Get

Journey. "An act of traveling from one place to another," or "A long and often difficult process change and development." We are all on a journey, whether it is something enjoyable or not. What makes our journeys special? Us. Each journey is special to the individual riding it out each and every day. Some might say their journey is happy, full of life or others might say their journey is frustrating, filled with trials, never gong to get to experience the full of life journey, and others might say their journey is a combination of the two. What is your journey? Are you ecstatic to see what lies ahead? Or on a journey that has too many test/trials causing a whirlwind of feelings? What type of journey am I on? My journey is one twisted, up, down, keep you on your toes type of thing. One day might be great, then I wake up the following day wishing I never woke up. On this journey I have definitely been tested in the life skills department. My journey it goes one of two ways; good or bad. I have learned a lot, lost a few but ive gained a few things at the same time. Overtime, my journey of life has taught me many of skills that will help me as I travel from one section of life to the next. Ive learned how to read others character, what my passions/drives are in life, and who my true friends are just to name a few. I have also learned to stand my ground and not let anything bring me down or stop me from fulfilling my dreams. As I have become older, more trials have been placed in the middle of my journey. The only way to continue on? Fight through and solve it and keep on going. Some trials easier than others, but each one helps me became a stronger individual traveling on a path no one truly knows where it ends up. Thanks to certain situations, ive learned its not always going to be peaches and cream. There are days where I can feel happy, energetic, and ready to continue on my journey and conquer the world. But then there are days I wish never occurred because of things said or done. My journey is not your "typical" journey, yet none of our journeys truly are, but I have learned on my journey I draw closer to those who are genuine, supportive, uplifting, funny, driven individuals.

Public Speech1. To give a good speech you must adapt your speech to your audience. There are two steps in the adaptaion process. First, there is preparation before the speech. This is done may times by having your audience fill out an audience analysis form, this will give you the demographics on your audience and allow you to adapt your speech accordingly. The second part of adapting your speech is during the speech. This is done by paying attention to your audience while you are giving the speech. You must adapt your speech so that the audience is able to understand and are convinced by our speech. Also, you need to assess how you think the audience will respond to what you are saying. 2.

First you should fall back on all the information you already know. The library and the internet would both be very helpful in researching the topic. In the library one could use encyclopedias, as well as books on the topic of world hunger. It is possible to use periodicals and magazine articles from the library too. The web would also be a good source of information. You could use various search engines to find sites on world hunger, but you must be careful that the sites you visit are viable. An alternative is going to an already established site, such as CNN, and then search those sites for an article about the topic. 4. When using statistics in your speech you should always make sure that you information is accurate. You should also make sure not to use too many statistics, or your work will get too bogged down with numbers. You should also make sure that the statistics you gather are representative of the total number of people in the group. You should always identify the sources of your statistics, to prove to your audience that your information is accurate. It is also a good idea to explain your statistics and why they are important to you specific purpose. Also, if statistics are complicated and go to the second or third decimal position you should round them off to the first whole number, so that it will make your information easier to understand. 5.

To address this motion, please allow me to start off by specifying my role and the role of my fellow members of the government.

Next, I will highlight some of the keywords and define the motion of today's debate.

During speech class this semester, I gave several different types of speeches on several different topics. During this semester, my ability to give speeches in front of an audience has improved quite a bit, I hope. Going into the semester, I had a really hard time giving speeches to people, but now that speech is almost over I feel like I am more capable of doing so. I think the thing I did best during the semester was getting good information for each of my speeches. My favorite assignment was most likely the impromptu speech. I really liked that one because we did not have to prepare an outline or anything like that, we just got to go up there and speak. During this semester, I learned a lot about how to give speeches such as the proper way to stand so I do not rock, or how to use my hands to emphasize my points. In the future, I think that I will be able to control my speed better during my speeches which will help the people I am presenting to understand my message. I think the skills I have acquired during speech will help me for the rest of my life. No matter what career I choose, I am sure that at some point I will have to present to someone about something. The skills I learned in speech will also help me just communicate with people in a one on one situation easier than I do now. I can use these skills throughout the rest of high school and through my six years of college still to come because whenever I have to present a project I will know how to effectively communicate my message to my audience. Based off of all of my reflection sheets, video evaluations, and peer critiques I have improved over the course of the semester. At the beginning of the semester I had a problem with speed and using to many "filler" words. As the year progressed, my speed became more and more controllable and I used less and less filler words. After my most recent speech, I'm still not quite at the level I want to be at, but I am far better than I was at the very beginning. I think just speaking in front of people more than I am used to doing has helped me develop better speaking skills and grow in my ability to effectively communicate with others. Throughout the semester I learned a lot about speaking, performing, and

Out of class speech Critique The speech that I attended and will be writing about is a campaign speech that Devaughn Williams gave while running for president of Phi Delta Theta Ohio Gamma chapter here at Ohio University. The audience was consisted of initiated members of Phi Delta Theta around 40 members were in attendance for the speech, for the elections, this was a formal event that the nominees and audience members dressed up for and at the end of each speech there was a Q&A session between the audience and the Canadettes. There were 3 people that were running for president. During his speech I noticed that he complemented the current president before he talked about what he would do differently giving the current president the respect that he earned during his term which gave him credibility and connected with us in the audience. During the body of his speech Devaughn talked about the former position that he had which was the recruitment chair. He then listed the accomplishments that he achieved during his term as recruitment chair. He transitioned from that by talking about what he would hope to achieve as acting president of Phi Delta Theta, his main points were about expanding popularity and continued growth of the fraternity, making sure we have good relationships with all other Greek life on campus here at Ohio University. And having fun and respecting all the rules and regulations set by Phi Delta Theta headquarters along with the IFC board which is the

SPEECH PATHOLOGY Many people would like to make a difference, not only in their own life, but in others' lives as well. Deepak Chopra once said, "Everyone has a purpose in life...a unique gift or special talent to give to others. And when we blend this unique talent with service to others, we experience the ecstasy and exultation of our own spirit, which is the ultimate goal of all goals." All of us, at one point in our lives, have to make the difficult decision of the goals we want to work towards. We all have certain goals, standards, and expectations of ourselves. Not everyone will figure out what they want to be right away, and some will know from the very beginning. My plan for my life is helping others through Speech Language...show more content...

What Is An Example Of Free Speech

There is five rights in the first amendment and one of those rights is Free Speech. Free Speech is the right to articulate one's opinion and ideas without fear of government retaliation or societal sanction. Lately there have been a big debate about "Safe" Speech vs. Free Speech. An example of Free Speech is you have the right to voice your political criticisms and the right to speak out against or for the government. Freedom of speech allows people to speak out and speak their minds. Safe Speech means that in certain places you can not say things that people will take offense to. The places are called "Safe–Spaces". When individuals are in Safe–Spaces they are told to use positive language and are told not to say offensive things about the LGBT community, gay marriage and any other thing in that sort. They are also not allowed to say any hate speech or harassing comments. There should be Safe Speech because if people say whatever they want they can induce panic, offend other people, and cause personal harm to people. An example of free speech inducing panic would be a person yelling that their is a bomb on the plane. In this situation the a person would be panicking because they don't to...show more content...

Even if you state that you do not agree with homosexuals, transgenders, lesbians, and/or anything of that sort than they would consider that hate speech because they feel as if they are judging them. For example, the Ku Klux Klan better known as the KKK may offend people by what they say. Our ancestors who fought in the American Revolution didn't have freedom of speech before they won their (and our) independence from Great Britain. And guess what happened to people who said something against the king? Tar and feathers, hanging, and prison. So while the First Amendment gives us free speech, people need to use this freedom wisely, and not at the expense of someone else's

My Self-Evaluation Of Speech

This paper will discuss mine self–evaluation and do into detail about my first speech. My first speech takes place in front of my class and I have to tell a story of an experience that has happened to me. Telling a speech was a new experience for me and I embrace the challenge. A speech can have an impact on a person life and the audience can also relate a topic that is being presented. I will explore and go into the details of ethos, pathos and logos of my speech for my personal assessment. I think I did a good job presenting my ethos through my speech story. I convince my audience with my credibility through my speech and the way how talk throughout the speech. For example, throughout my whole speech, I shown my hands and did not hide my hands. By keeping my hands in plain view, it shows my audience nonverbally that I can be trusted. The volume of my voice was at a normal speaking tone and was not too low. Most of my audience was able to hear me and listen to me very clearly. I also presented myself with confidence and gave off the impression that I was prepared. For example, I had a smile and had constant eye contact with my audience throughout my speech. There was certain things that I was doing that was ineffective while I was talking. Throughout my speech, I kept saying um and was pausing at times. I did not realize how much I was saying and doing these actions. These actions are something I need to work on more when I present my public communication to my audience Get
