Perlocutions: Reconstruction versus elimination
Keywords:
perlocution, illocution, situational frame, reconstruction, eliminativism.
Abstract
The concept of perlocution has been problematic right since its first articulation by Austin. Two possible ways of clarifying the issue are examined. The “reconstructive” way attempts to avoid the ambiguities in the austinian characterization by establishing taxonomies based in precise criteria. The “eliminative” view, finally adopted, seeks the replacement of perlocutions by a concept better fitted for the study of “the total speech act in the total speech situation”, the concept of the situational frame of an utterance.Downloads
