Speech Acts Performance And Their Meaning: From Jane To Mr. Brocklehurst
Year: 2020
Type: article
Abstract: Literary texts directly reflect the experience of what happens in the real world. Sometimes, they are reflecting exactly the world we are living in and our experience of it. At other times this is done indirectly; it is probably the case that the less the literature is directly relevant to the reader , the more he or she has to find ways of linking the two. In this paper, I have tried to analyse some passages from Jane Eyre a novel by Charlotte Brontë. One may question himself about how the writer can build bridges between his own experiences and the experiences described in the work of literature and how is it that we can interpret them differently according to the circumstance. Indeed, there are sociolinguistic rules valid for the interpretation of the speech acts in a discourse.
