Week 8 - Discussion 3

 In your own words, differentiate LOCUTIONARY, ILLOCUTIONARY, PERLOCUTIONARY and give at least 1 example for each (not copied from the handout).

There are three types of speech acts: the locutionary, illocutionary, and perlocutionary speech acts. Locutionary acts refer to the action of saying or uttering a statement. For an act to be locutionary, it needs to share the same meaning for both the speaker and receiver and it needs to be sensible. The next speech act is the illocutionary act. These acts are performed by speakers and commits them to a future action. Examples of an illocutionary act are giving promises and oaths. Moreover, giving opinions and permission to other people are examples of illocutionary acts. Lastly, is the perlocutionary act. This type of speech act pertains to the consequence of what a speaker has said. To give you a clearer picture, I will state examples for each type of speech act. 
First is the locutionary act, the actual act of uttering or saying a statement: "Please pass the salt." Next is the illocutionary act, which requests someone or urges someone to do something because of the statement, "please pass the salt." Lastly is the perlocutionary act which is the consequence of the statement. Because the speaker said "please pass the salt," the receiver will do the request and actually pass the salt to the speaker.

Personally, I find intrapersonal communication easier to practice than interpersonal communication. To fully justify my opinion, let us first define the two. Intrapersonal communication as communication with one's self. Examples are self-talk, acts of visualization, and imagination. On the other hand interpersonal communication is the process of exchanging communication between two or more people. As an introvert, I find intrapersonal communication easier to practice because I will be able to express feelings without the anxiety that people will not approve of it. Moreover, I will be able to exercise my mind with various thought processes. Furthermore, you will be able to use any type of speech style that you want. On the other hand, I will be able to dev...

  Catalla, Ancelmo Miguel M. | Oral Comm | 11 - Auriga Reflection 1. How do you describe the elements of communication? The elements of communication are dynamic. They are part of an interdependent system or process. If one goes missing, the whole communication process will not take place. 2. Can the process of communication be completed even without the presence of a single element of communication? Why or why not? Communication is a process that requires various elements, so if one element is not present, the whole process would be inoperative. For instance, if there is no speaker, there will be no message. If there is no message, the channel and medium would be useless, so no one will be the recipient of the message. Thus, communication will not take place. 3. Cite at least one communication situation and identify the elements in the presented situation. There is an ongoing Zoom meeting between ...
