Synopsis "J.L. Austin"

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! John Langshaw Austin (March 26, 1911 February 8, 1960) was a British philosopher of language, born in Lancaster and educated at Shrewsbury School and Balliol College, Oxford University. Austin is widely associated with the concept of the speech act and the idea that speech is itself a form of action. Consequently, in his understanding language is not just a passive practice of describing a given reality, but a particular practice to invent and affect those realities. His work in the 1950s provided both a theoretical outline and the terminology for the modern study of speech acts developed subsequently, for example, by (the Oxford- educated American philosopher) John R. Searle, William P. Alston, Franois Rcanati, Kent Bach, and Robert M. Harnish. He occupies a place in philosophy of language alongside Wittgenstein in staunchly advocating the examination of the way words are used in order to elucidate meaning.
