Abstract EN
The present paper investigates the function of Searle's (1969) Speech Act Theory in literary analysis.
It reviews the way language can be an action in literary discourse.
The paper accounts for illocutionary performative speech acts in Shaw's play ''Man & Superman'' based on selected sample texts.
Types of illocutionary acts and their force are accounted for with their correlation with Felicity Conditions.
The paper draws on the understanding of locutionary, illocutionary, and perlocutionary speech acts in ''Man & Superman'' to be analyzed.
The data is a representative one.
It's selected from all the four acts in the play.
