Abstract:

Speech acts, those actions carried out mainly by means of language,
are used in English in a range of complex ways. However, they have
rarely been covered in English as a foreign language (EFL) materials
and textbooks. Bringing together current theories from pragmatics and
cognitive linguistics, this book addresses this gap by providing a
comprehensive model of directive speech acts and showing how to teach
them to learners of English. It provides a review of the strengths and
weaknesses of current theories of illocution and a critical assessment
of existing EFL textbooks. Descriptions of the meaning and form of
directive speech act constructions are given in the cognitive
pedagogical grammar of directive speech acts (included), which offers
a wealth of examples to make the information accessible to
non-specialist readers. The book also provides a wide range of
practical activities, showing how research on illocutionary acts can
be implemented in practice.
