This article examines the study of speech acts in linguistics. Speech acts are actions performed through language, playing a crucial role in understanding social interactions, communication, and human dialogue. The article analyzes the types of speech acts, their linguistic and pragmatic analysis, and their role in social contexts. Speech acts mainly include requests, commands, offers, acceptance, or refusal, and they reflect the social functions of language. This analysis contributes to the development of pragmatics and communication theories in linguistics.References
