In Functional Grammar, it is concerned with interaction between the addresser and addressee in the discourse situation and the addresser抯 attitude toward what he speaks or writes about. 2. syntagmatic relation: a relation between one item and others in a sequence, or between elements which are all present, such as the relation between weather and the others in If the weather is nice, we抣l go out. 3. the semantic triangle: a theory which explicitly employs the notion 揷oncept proposed by Ogden and Richards in their The Meaning of Meaning. They argue the relation between a word and a thing it refers to is not direct. It is mediated by concept. In a diagram form, the relation is represented as follows: concept word--------------------thing 4. the Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis: Our language helps mould our way of thinking and, consequently, different languages may probably express our unique ways of understanding the world. 5. I-narrators: The person who tells the story may also be a character in the fictional world of the story, relating the story after the event. In this case the critics call the narrator a FIRST-PERSON NARRATOR or I-NARRATOR because when the narrator refers to himself or herself in the story the first person pronoun I is used. IV.

In his opinion, there are three senses in which saying something may be understood as doing something. The first sense is an ordinary one. That is, when we speak we move our vocal organs and produce a number of sounds, organized in a certain way and with a certain meaning. In this sense, when someone says 揗orning!? we can ask a question like 揥hat did he do? instead of 揥hat did he say? And the answer could be that he produced a sound, word or sentence棑Morning! The act performed in this sense is called a LOCUTIONARY ACT. Within this act, however, Austin suggests that there is another act. 揫I]n performing a locutionary act we shall also be performing such an act as: asking or answering a question, giving some information or an assurance or a warning, announcing a verdict or an intention, pronouncing sentence, making an appointment or an appeal or a criticism, making an identification or giving a description, and the numerous like? For example, to the question 揥hat did he do? when the person concerned said 揗orning!? we could perfectly well say 揌e offered a greeting. In other words, when we speak, we not only produce some units of language with certain meanings, but also make clear our purpose in producing them, the way we intend them to be understood, or they also have certain forces as Austin prefers to say. In the example of 揗orning! we can say it has the force of a greeting, or it ought to have been taken as a greeting. This is the second sense in which to say something is to do something, and the act performed is known as an ILLOCUTIONARY ACT. Austin acknowledges that the force can be regarded as part of meaning, when the latter is used in a broad sense. So in the example we are considering, we can also say 揌e meant it as a greeting? In the retort 揥hat do you mean?? the word mean is used in the broad sense, too. But Austin thinks it is better to distinguish force from meaning, with the latter used in a narrow sense, or what we called the more constant, inherent side of meaning. Thus interpreted, force, or illocutionary force, may be said to be equivalent to speaker抯 meaning, contextual meaning, or extra meaning. The third sense in which to say something can mean to do something concerns the consequential effects of a locution upon the hearer. By telling somebody something the speaker may change the opinion of the hearer on something, or mislead him, or surprise him, or induce him to do something, etc. Whether or not these effects are intended by the speaker, they can be regarded as part of the act that the speaker has performed. This act, which is performed through, by means of, a locutionary act, is called a PERLOCUTIONARY ACT. For example, by saying 揗orning! to someone, the speaker has made it clear that he wants to keep friendly relations with the hearer. This friendliness on the speaker抯 side will definitely have effects on the hearer. When the two interlocutors are on normal terms, the effect may be negligible. But if there were any tensions between them, a simple 揗orning! from one side may bring about great changes in their relationship. The other may accept his show of friendship, and be friends with him again. In this case, we can say 揌e抯 made peace with his friend in response to the question 揥hat did he do? when the person concerned said 揗orning!? On the other hand, the hearer may have some prejudice against the speaker, and take his friendliness as an instance of hypocrisy. As a result, the speaker抯 greeting may lead their relationship from bad to worse. Though this effect is not what the speaker had originally intended, it is still a perlocutionary act performed by him. This brings up another difference between the illocutionary act and perlocutionary act, i.e. one is related to the speaker抯 intention and the other not. Defined in this way, the locutionary act is what linguists have been studying all along. That is, how sounds, words and sentences are made, and what inherent meanings they have. The perlocutionary act involves many psychological and social factors, of which we are still more or less in the dark. So the illocutionary act is what Austin really driving at. In this sense, speech act theory is in fact a theory of the illocutionary act.
