奥斯汀言语行为论的当代哲学意义

20世纪以来，语言哲学的研究沿两条路径发展，一是语义学路径；一是语用学路径。在前一路径研究的哲学家们大多把兴趣集中在那类或真或假的陈述上，从而忽视了那类不必要么为真要么为假的语句——祈使句、感叹句和表达愿望的语句等。奥斯汀却在这类词句的研究中作出了新发现，提出了言语行为理论。本文在阐释这一理论的基础上，进一步揭示这一理论的当代哲学意义。

The Contemporary Philosophical Meaning of Austin's Speech Acts Theory

The research of philosophy of language follows two approaches since 20 centuries.One is semantic approach,the other is pragmatic approach.In the former approach,philosophers pay more attention to statements that can be analyzed as true or false than that kind of sentences which needn't be true or false,such as imperative sentences,exclamatory sentences and desire sentences.However Austin gets his new discovery just from the latter kind of sentences,which is called Speech Acts Theory.Based on explaining Austin's theory,we further point out its contemporary philosophical meaning in this paper.
