Typology of Speech Acts and their Role in Specialized Communication

The speech act is a basic unit of pragmatic linguistics, which studies the use of language in a situational context. These linguistic acts can express a statement, advice, a promise, or gratitude. The theory of speech acts has contributed significantly to the reconsideration of the postulate that the main purpose of language is to describe the world, and statements must be evaluated as true or false. At the same time, the theory of linguistic acts focuses our attention on the responsibility of each of us, as emitters or receivers, to choose those linguistic elements that will contribute to defining the type of linguistic act present in a certain deontological code in the socio- human domain.
