Abstract
I regard the notion of ‘speech act’ as one of the most fruitful notions of contemporary linguistic theorizing. It orients our scientfic endeavours towards the function of language in human communication. In doing so, it allows for a combination of different methods and fields of linguistic, as well as of philosophical, investigation, such as, e.g., the theory of grammar, the theory of meaning and the theory of discourse.
