Abstract: (974 Views)
The performative deletion analysis approach, does not assume the presence of speakers, hearers, and verbs, but rather the presence of the words "I", "you", and performative verbs. In the approach of conversational postulates, it is also possible to formalize principles of conversation and show that there are rules in grammar that are dependent on such principles. But according to John Searle, both approaches to the performative deletion analysis and the conversational postulates show a misunderstanding of the place of theory of speech acts in the general narrative of language. Searle's objection to these two approaches is that they both fail to use the sources of current theories of speech acts. Both theories, when confronted with confusing data, assume a solution that requires the introduction of additional and unnecessary components. In each, a correct understanding of the role of speech acts enables us to justify this data without providing these additional and unnecessary components.
