Speech acts are a fundamental part of pragmatics, which is the study of language in its social and communicative context. Speech acts refer to the actions we perform through language, beyond simply transmitting information. These acts are a way of using language to achieve different communicative objectives. Speech act theory was developed by philosophers such as J.L. Austin and John Searle, and can be classified into several categories:

They are the acts we perform when stating something. For example:

Affirmations: "The earth is round."

Questions: "Are you coming tomorrow?"

Orders: "Close the door."

# data[].attributes.body
They refer to the statement itself, that is, the way in which the message is expressed. This includes things like grammar, pronunciation, and the literal meaning of words.

They are the effects that the act of speech produces on the listener. This may include persuasion, creating emotions, or inducing action. For example, a request may lead someone to feel obligated to help.

Speech acts can also be classified according to their function:

Directives: They try to get the listener to perform an action. Example: "Can you pass me the salt?"

Commissive: The speaker commits to a future action. Example: "I promise to call you tomorrow."

Expressive: They express the emotional state of the speaker. Example: "I am very happy for your success."

Declaratives: They change reality through the declaration. Example: "I pronounce you husband and wife."

Assertives: Statements that can be true or false. Example: "Water boils at 100 degrees Celsius."

It is important to keep in mind that speech acts can vary in different sociocultural contexts. For example, in some contexts, a request may be expressed very directly, while in others it may be necessary to be more indirect so as not to offend.

Implicatures

Furthermore, in the English language and in language use in general, there are often implicatures, which are suggested meanings beyond the literal statement. For example, if someone says "It's a little late to go out," it may imply that it's not a good idea to go out at that time, even if they don't explicitly state it.

Speech acts in English are an essential part of communication and have important implications for social interaction. Understanding how they are used can improve communicative effectiveness and understanding between speakers from different contexts.

"I get up at 7 AM." (I get up at 7 am).

"I drink coffee every morning." (He drinks coffee every morning).

Present Continuous: Used for actions that are happening right now or for future plans.

Structure: Subject + verb 'to be' + verb with '-ing'.

Examples:

"She is studying right now." (She is studying right now).

"We are meeting them tomorrow." (We will meet them tomorrow).

The past tense is used to describe actions that have already occurred.

Past Simple: Indicates that an action was completed in the past.

Structure: Subject + verb in the past.

The future tense is used to describe actions that will happen later. There are several ways to express the future tense in English:

Simple Future: Used for instant decisions or predictions.

Structure: Subject + 'will' + base verb.

Examples:

"I will go to the concert tomorrow." (I'll go to the concert tomorrow).

"They will travel to Paris next year." (They will travel to Paris next year).

Future Continuous: Indicates that an action will be in progress at a specific time in the future.

Routines and habits in English are essential to express daily life and planning. Different verbal forms are used depending on the time and context of the action. Practicing these structures will help you communicate effectively and clearly in English, both in the present, past and future.
