Structure and Meaning in Case of Sentences Used as Indirect Speech Acts

One of the biggest difficulties related to the treatment of indirect speech acts, along with the overlap of illocutionary values and the discrepancy between the meaning actualized by the structure of the utterance and the value it can acquire in a certain context, is the absence of specific linguistic marks. Communication has as its object of research the utterances used to make indirect speech acts. By approaching this problem, the aim was to establish possible regularities between certain utterances and certain indirect speech acts. Thus, the central objective of the research is to examine the utterances used as means of indirect realization of speech acts in terms of their syntactic structure and the lexical-grammatical means that could serve as a basis for decoding this type of speech acts.
