Discusion #4

The post of the classmates that I have read are by Adam Helwig, Even Kallas, Ryan Aberle’s, and Sophia Hand. After reading my peers definitions and what passage they will use on their MA1, I’ve found that my definitions are shallow.
The fact that my definitions are shallow becomes especially clear when looking at Miss. Hand’s definitions. I trie and keep my definitions shallow and broad so that the essential components are highlighted. Hand adds detail that roots the definitions more in line with what we’re learning in the class.
Reading all the examples of speech acts was enlightening. Everyones scenario was different and had outcomes that where just as varied. Helwig’s speech act was interesting because of his Perlocutionary act, because he didn’t just leave which was what was expected. Ryans act is interesting because you have to assume more what he wanted the Perlocutionary act to be. But, it demonstrates that friend groups have a more intuition based way to communicate that is based on knowledge of each other.
