ASYMMETRY OF PERLOCUTIVE ATTEMPT AND PERLOCUTIVE EFFECT
Abstract
The paper treats the problem of perlocutive effect, which is the least investigated aspect of a speech act theory. Elaboration of procedures and methods aimed at study of perlocutive effect is complicated by ambivalence in treating the given phenomenon by different researchers. The latter, hence, gives rise to further questions: can the mechanics of perlocutive effect be adequately described just within the frames of the speech act or whether the researcher should not limit himself by its frames and extend the communicative context. In this connection the author of the present paper resorts to the texts assigned to the genre “letter to the editor” of the British «quality» print media.
