Austin reshapes our understanding of language and its power-not merely to describe the world, but to act within it. Based on a series of lectures delivered at Harvard University, \u003cem\u003eHow to Do Things with Words\u003c\/em\u003e introduces the now-famous theory of \"speech acts,\" revealing how utterances can function as actions-promising, ordering, naming, or apologizing-rather than simply stating facts. Austin's clear and witty style, combined with his rigorous analysis, makes this a foundational text for anyone interested in language, philosophy, linguistics, law, or communication. Far from being abstract theory, Austin's ideas have reverberated across fields as diverse as political theory, literary criticism, artificial intelligence, and everyday social interaction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 178\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.56 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 03, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47327441158393,"sku":"9781684229901","price":42.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/sswx3CEuFE9781684229901.webp?v=1769580972","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/how-to-do-things-with-words-hardcover","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
