Terminology

Terminology
Philosophical Framework
  • Expositive - clarifying of reasons, arguments, and communications (Austin 162) 
  • Utterance - string of words (Austin 76) in relation to my application - an aspect of the form with communicative properties (as separate from the intended message, interpretation, or psychological response) 
  • Constative Utterance - relays information without eliciting a reaction or response; statement of fact (Austin 46) (Austin doubts possible the possibility; When and why does one give information without reception? (Austin 109) This term is much more valid in the context of a book, movie, or video game, because you can use the communicative elements of the medium separate from the discourse of the narrative. For example you can give the page number, the menu of a game, or the credits without it having any emotional reception. 
  • Performative Utterance - performing of an action; not simply passively describing reality, but they are changing the reality they are describing (psychologically/socially) (Austin 19) • Performative Formula – The transformation of a constative utterance to a performative utterance (to make explicit) (Austin 33) 
  •  Locution - the full units of speech (Austin 94) 
  • Illocution - concerned with the communicative effect (Austin 94) 
  • Perlocution - concerned with the result (Austin 94)
