Procedural Questions Instead of Conceptual

Wardhaugh’s Speech Acts
The functional approach of sentence

Who…
Ronald Wardhaugh, professor emeritus University of Toronto
Talk and Action An Introduction to Sociolinguistics (2006)
![Page 13: The Sociolinguistic Aspects of Students’ Questioning English 384/584 July 26, 2010.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062322/5697bffa1a28abf838cc048b/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
What…
According to Wardhaugh… Conversations not only make statements,
they perform actions in the world Establish friendships Achieve cooperation Create a foundation for future interactions
![Page 14: The Sociolinguistic Aspects of Students’ Questioning English 384/584 July 26, 2010.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062322/5697bffa1a28abf838cc048b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
An example…
Constative utterances: “I had a busy day today.” Connected with events or happenings.
Ethical propositions: “Thou shalt not kill.” Serve as guidelines to behavior in some world or
another.
![Page 15: The Sociolinguistic Aspects of Students’ Questioning English 384/584 July 26, 2010.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062322/5697bffa1a28abf838cc048b/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
For our purpose…
The Performative utterance: “I do.” Not only saying but doing something if certain
real-world conditions are met.
![Page 16: The Sociolinguistic Aspects of Students’ Questioning English 384/584 July 26, 2010.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062322/5697bffa1a28abf838cc048b/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Austin’s Five categories…
Performatives Verdictives
Giving a verdict, estimate, grade, or appraisal “Guilty as charged.” “You got an A on your test.”
ExercitivesExercising of powers, rights, or influences
“I pronounce you husband and wife.” “Congratulations! You have just graduated from college.”
![Page 17: The Sociolinguistic Aspects of Students’ Questioning English 384/584 July 26, 2010.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062322/5697bffa1a28abf838cc048b/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
CommissivesPromising or undertaking, announcing an intention
“I hereby bequeath” “I intent to teach the best way I know how.”
BehabitivesApologizing, congratulating, blessing, cursing, or
challenging “I apologize” “I challenge you to learn.”
![Page 18: The Sociolinguistic Aspects of Students’ Questioning English 384/584 July 26, 2010.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062322/5697bffa1a28abf838cc048b/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
ExpositivesRefers to how one fits an utterance into an argument
or exposition “I argue, I reply, I assume…” “I argue in favor of my learning outcomes.”
![Page 19: The Sociolinguistic Aspects of Students’ Questioning English 384/584 July 26, 2010.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062322/5697bffa1a28abf838cc048b/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
And so…
A speech act… In some way changes the conditions that exist in the
world. For example:
“I sentence you to five years in jail.” “I sentence you to two hours of detention.” “Hello. How are you?” (friendly) “You jerk!” (not so friendly)
![Page 20: The Sociolinguistic Aspects of Students’ Questioning English 384/584 July 26, 2010.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062322/5697bffa1a28abf838cc048b/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
True/False
A speech act is neither true nor false in itself
However, these claims may be made about its having been done.
![Page 21: The Sociolinguistic Aspects of Students’ Questioning English 384/584 July 26, 2010.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062322/5697bffa1a28abf838cc048b/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

Wardhaugh says…
“Once we begin to look at utterances from the point of view of what they do, it is possible to see every utterance as a speech act of one kind or other, that is, as having some functional value which might be quite independent of the actual words used and their grammatical arrangement.”
![Page 23: The Sociolinguistic Aspects of Students’ Questioning English 384/584 July 26, 2010.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062322/5697bffa1a28abf838cc048b/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Laver and Trudgill…
“Being a listener to speech is not unlike being a detective. The listener…has to construct, from an assortment of clues, the affective state of the speaker and a profile of his identity.”
![Page 24: The Sociolinguistic Aspects of Students’ Questioning English 384/584 July 26, 2010.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062322/5697bffa1a28abf838cc048b/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Communication Model

“All the world is a stage, and we are the players!” Wardhaugh

The Critical Thinker
What is Critical Thinking?
"Critical thinking is the intellectually disciplined process of actively and skillfully conceptualizing, applying, analyzing, synthesizing, and/or evaluating information gathered from, or generated by, observation, experience, reflection, reasoning, or communication, as a guide to belief and action“ (Scriven)
