13. 0:32that we discussed on the three types of
14. 0:35speech acts by Austin. If you haven't
15. 0:38yet watched the video, please click the
16. 0:41link above. Our lesson objectives are
17. 0:44the following. At the end of the lesson,
18. 0:46you are expected to identify the
19. 0:50different types of illucitionary acts by
20. 0:52sur and interpret the types of speech
21. 0:56acts used in movie dialogues.
22. 1:00I will show you one more examples of the
23. 1:02three types of speech acts by Austin as
24. 1:04a way to review our previous lesson.
25. 1:08Here's the sentence. Your eyes are
26. 1:11inflamed. What is the lucutionary act?
27. 1:14The real utterance. The eyes or your
28. 1:18eyes are inflamed. A lucushary act. This
29. 1:22is an act of ordering the hearer to
30. 1:25visit an eye doctor for checkup or an
31. 1:28act of suggesting the hearer to treat
32. 1:31his or her eyes. The perlutionary act.
33. 1:34This is the reaction or effect. The
34. 1:36hearer visits the eye doctor or the
35. 1:40hearer treats the eye. As a response to
36. 1:44Austin's speech act theory, John Surl in
37. 1:481976 classified five illucitionary acts
38. 1:53into different categories.
39. 1:56The first one is assertive. It is an
40. 2:00utterance intended to tell you how
41. 2:02things are in the world. It is a
42. 2:05representation of reality. It is a
43. 2:08speech act that commits the speaker to
44. 2:10the truth of preposition. An assertive
45. 2:14is a statement, description,
46. 2:16classification,
47. 2:17explanation, and clarification. For
48. 2:20example, Rodrigo Duterte is the
49. 2:23president of the Philippines. Another
50. 2:26example would say, uh, women's brain is
51. 2:29different from men's brain. Or you say
52. 2:34all men are mortal. When you assert, you
53. 2:37need to have confidence. You should be
54. 2:40firm. When you say this sentence, it is
55. 2:44not acceptable.
56. 2:47It is not acceptable.
57. 2:49What did you notice? The quality of your
58. 2:52voice is very important when you assert
59. 2:56something. The second type is directive.
60. 3:00A directive is not true or false like
61. 3:03assertives, but it is either to be
62. 3:06followed or to be unfollowed. When a
63. 3:09mother says, "Joy, please stop playing
64. 3:13Mobile Legends," that is a directive.
65. 3:18Some examples of a directive are
66. 3:20ordering, commanding, requesting,
67. 3:23pleading, begging, praying, insisting,
68. 3:27and suggesting.
69. 3:30Example of a sentence is please vote for
70. 3:35me that is a directive particularly on
71. 3:40requesting. The third type is
72. 3:42commissive. It commits a speaker to some
73. 3:46feature voluntary action. It reveals the
74. 3:50intention of the speaker. It refers to
75. 3:53vows, threats, pledges, guarantees,
76. 3:58contracts, promises, covenants, and
77. 4:02oaths. What are the examples?
78. 4:06Starting next month, I promise to wake
79. 4:09up early. Or you say, "Honey, I'll be
80. 4:14there tomorrow." Some commissives are
81. 4:16not promises to an individual but just a
82. 4:20commissive in general such as I pledge
83. 4:24allegiance to flag. The second to the
84. 4:27last type is expressive. It reveals the
85. 4:31speaker's attitudes and emotions towards
86. 4:34a particular preposition. This includes
87. 4:37thanking, apologizing,
88. 4:40welcoming, deploring. When you say
89. 4:42deploring, it means you have a
90. 4:45disapproval of something. For example,
91. 4:48thank you dear students for subscribing
92. 4:50to my channel. Welcome back to our
93. 4:53class. Or you say, I'm sorry, I didn't
94. 4:57mean to hurt you. The last type is
95. 5:00declaration. It is the most interesting
96. 5:03type of speech act as it brings a change
97. 5:06in the external situation. A declaration
98. 5:09is an utterance that changes the world
99. 5:11by representing it as being so changed.
100. 5:15Oh, what does it mean? One word to do it
101. 5:18is if you say I hereby when a president
102. 5:22says I hereby declare a total lockdown,
103. 5:26that is something to change. Or you say
104. 5:30the meeting is adjourned. Wow, the word
105. 5:33adjourned is exciting. Everybody wants
106. 5:35to go out especially when you attend a
107. 5:38meeting. But take note of the utterances
108. 5:41I promise. When you say I promise to
109. 5:44come and see you is both commissive and
110. 5:48declaration because it is committing the
111. 5:51speaker to a future action and it is
112. 5:54making the utterance a promise by
113. 5:58declaring it to be a promise. Did you
114. 6:01understand the five types of elucary
115. 6:04act? Let's have a short quiz. I will
116. 6:07show you video clips. These are movie
117. 6:11dialogues. What type of illucitionary
118. 6:14acts does each of these video clips
119. 6:17belong to?
120. 6:18Pronounce you husband and wife.
121. 6:21What country you
122. 6:23The path of the righteous man is beset
123. 6:25on all the selfish and the tyranny of
124. 6:27evil men.
125. 6:28C A always B Closes. We get sick. My
126. 6:33wife died on a plane. The stock market
127. 6:36collapsed. What do we
128. 6:37I mean, this has good dialogue along in
129. 6:39here. It'll play.
130. 6:40Please at least leave us alone in our
131. 6:42living rooms. Let me
132. 6:43What about us?
133. 6:44Photography is interesting cuz you know
134. 6:46it's a it's a new art form and a
135. 6:47because you personally wanted not
136. 6:49because of the facts.
137. 6:50Here are the possible answers. First is
138. 6:54number one, it is a pronouncement. So it
139. 6:56is a declaration. Number two video clip
140. 6:59is threatening means directive. The
141. 7:03third one is threatening again. So
142. 7:06directive but when you consider the
143. 7:08voice it is also asserting. The fourth
144. 7:12one is explaining something. So I
145. 7:15consider this as directive. The fifth
146. 7:18video clip is the man is in emotional
147. 7:21state expressing his pain. He was maybe
148. 7:24apologizing. So I consider it is as
149. 7:27expressive. The sixth video clip is
150. 7:31thanking or appreciating. So it is
151. 7:33expressive. The seventh video clip is uh
152. 7:37it is more of pleading or begging. So it
153. 7:40is directive. The eighth video clip is
154. 7:43asking so it is directive. And the ninth
155. 7:47video clip is more of suggesting. It is
156. 7:50assertive. The 10th video clip is maybe
157. 7:54disapproving something. So I consider
158. 7:56this as expressive. If you have some
159. 7:59questions and clarifications, feel free
