This article delves into the interconnected fields of pragmatics, speech act theory, and discourse analysis. It begins by defining pragmatics as the study of language in context, emphasizing its focus on how meaning is constructed and interpreted in social
interactions. The article then introduces speech act theory, a subfield of pragmatics that examines how language is used to perform actions. It explores the different types of speech acts, including locutionary, illocutionary, and perlocutionary acts, and discusses
the importance of felicity conditions for successful speech act performance. Finally, the article turns to discourse analysis, a broader field that examines language in use across various contexts. It highlights the different approaches to discourse analysis,
such as conversation analysis and critical discourse analysis, and discusses how these approaches can be used to analyze speech acts in real-world communication.
