Abstract AR
إن اللغة هي نافذة العقل و هي من أعقد أنواع السلوك التي يمارسها الإنسان و لذلك قيل أن فهم اللغة يفتح الطريق أمام فهم العقل الإنساني و الإنسان عموما.
تحاول الدراسة الحالية أن تستكشف وجود أي صبغة مميزة في استعمال أفعال الكلام كما يصنفها سيرل (1971) في خطابات الأشخاص ذوي العقلية الانتحارية من خلال دراسة لبعض هكذا خطابات.
و من خلال بحثنا هذا فأننا لا نحاول أن نجذب انتباه علماء اللغة فحسب بل علماء النفس أيضا.
يمكن لبحوث أن تنحو نحو بحثنا هذا مع جوانب لغوية أخرى.
Abstract EN
Language is the window to human mind.
It is one of the most complicated behaviours human beings can perform.
So, it has been stated that it is through the study of language that we can have some understanding of the human mind and man in general.
The present research attempts to uncover the characteristic stamp in the use of speech acts, as classified by Searle's (1971), by suicidal minds through the study of five of their suicide letters that have been dealt with.
By so doing we are trying to attract the attention of not only linguists but psychologists also.
Further, researches may attempt a similar endeavour with other linguistic aspects.
