| Abstract | ||
| AbstractThe meaning of any text is best realized when linguistic competence and pragmatic theory of language are taken into consideration. Novels are best understood in terms of Speech Act Theory since they represent a macro-text act ( to use Hatim and Mason's {1990} term). Novels are reflections of the real world with real speech. The real reader is part of the context ,thus, part of the interpretations of the utterance. This is due to the fat that a real reader receives the intention of the real author who wants to achieve a certain perlocutionary effect on a certain socio-cultural context. Consequently, tackling any literary text without pragmatic theory constitutes a real problem. As a result, the present research attempts to answer the following question: Can Speech Act Theory be successfully applied to literature, and can fictional and conversational Speech Act be analysed and established similarly? | ||
