Austin y Searle: La relación entre verbos y actos ilocucionarios

Abstract

The present article reviews the criteria used by Austin and Searle on elaborating their respective taxonomies of illocutionary acts to account for the way in which speech acts and semantics relate both authors. In addition, some concepts of Searle and his taxonomy described in "Speech Acts" (1994) and developed in "A taxonomy of Illocutionary acts" (1991) are reviewed. Finally, the idea of meaning sustained by each author is discussed.
