Features: John Langshaw Austin, a major representative of the Oxford school of speech-act philosophy among British philosophers and linguists, proposed that when we utter any statement, we actually perform three acts simultaneously. The locutionary act, illocutionary act, and perlocutionary act. The universality of the interrelatedness, inherence, and predictability of speech acts is the speech practice foundation and philosophical basis of the principle of pan-dialogue. This book introduces the philosophical content of speech and acts. Ordinary speech philosophy is based on rejecting psychologism and the myth of intentionality, and is grounded in a constant focus on the empirical nature of natural language. This book addresses various questions raised by Wittgenstein and Austin through the analysis of concepts such as "constitutive rules," "satisfaction conditions," the spiritual dimension doctrine of non-locutionary acts, the distinction between language and propositional content, and a critical examination of the formalization status.
