1955J. L. Austin How to do Things with Words (1962) vii. 93 To say anything is..to perform the act of using that pheme or its constituents with a certain more or less definite ‘sense’ and a more or less definite ‘reference’ (which together are equivalent to ‘meaning’). This act we may call a ‘rhetic’ act. Ibid. viii. 97 When different phemes are used with the same sense and reference, we might speak of rhetically equivalent acts. 1969W. Cerf in K. T. Fann Symposium on J. L. Austin iv. 356 The suspicion arises that the phonetic act, the phatic act and the rhetic act are not subclasses, but parts of the locutionary act. 1971M. Furberg Saying & Meaning (ed. 2) ii. 57 Reports of someone's words in indirect speech are reports of his rhetic act. |
