COMMISSIVE SPEECH ACTS IN MODERN LINGUISTICS: DEFINITION, CLASSIFICATION, AND PRINCIPLES

Abstract

This paper explores commissive speech acts within the framework of modern
linguistics, focusing on their definition, classification, and underlying pragmatic principles.
Commissives are a type of illocutionary act in which the speaker commits to a future action,
such as promising, offering, or refusing. The study outlines how commissive acts are categorized
based on their directness, explicitness, and cultural variation. Furthermore, it discusses the
pragmatic conditions necessary for their successful realization, including sincerity, preparatory
conditions, and contextual appropriateness. The research also emphasizes the role of
commissives in intercultural communication and their relevance in applied fields such as
translation studies and discourse analysis. This paper explores commissive speech acts within the framework of modern
