Abstract:

"Speech Act Theory: A Univen Study" was undertaken to investigate the 
pragmatic value of utterances of selected students in University of Venda. 
Utterances of second-language users of a language reflect the wealth of their 
language experiences and hence caution has to be exercised when conducting 
an investigation into such utterances. It is within this background that this 
investigation was conducted into the meaning-creation strategies and abilities of 
the participants in this study. The very idiocyncratic utterances investigated 
demonstrated vividly the multi-dimensional thought process exploited by the 
creators of these samples. Also demonstrated by the analyses is the nature of 
communication and the amount of linguistic interaction necessary for 
interlocutors to create meaning.
