  1. Searle’s Taxonomy of Acts vs. Ilongot Searle (1979) (Illocutionary Point) Rosaldo (1982) (what is her alternative for Ilongot?) Assertives (p. 213) petpek, explain, tadek, tell story Rarely concerned with fact/truth ?? Directives (p. 215) tuydek, command, bege, ask, tengteng, order Multiple possible realizations, rarely 1st person ?? Commissives/Expressives (p. 217) no Ilongot exemplars: ‘anin, oh dear, dimet, pity assoc. with stereotyped expressive forms sigem, formulaic oath of salt ?? Declarations (p. 220) nawnaw, spells, ‘ayu, curse, ‘eyap, boast directed to supernatural forces ?? 1) Assertives (commit speaker to truth) B(p) boast, answer, explain 2) Directives (get hearer to do) ! W(H does A) command, request 3) Commissives (commit speaker to do) C I(S does A) promise 4) Expressives (express pysch. state) E (P) (S/H +property) 5) Declarations (create state thru saying) D (p)

  2. Rosaldo’s alternative typology for Ilongot speech acts, p. 222 Type of social situation: sameness/autonomy vs. continuity/hierarchy 1) Declaratives (Expressives/Commissives/Assertives) act on world w/out demanding interlocutor response. exemplar: merely say creates challenge: create bond that defines relations of potentially autonomous selves 2) Directives clearly recognized by Ilongot as category presuppose hierarchy/relation, daily cooperation demand uptake exemplar: tuydek, p. 224: call for activity marked by interruption/ movement; appeal to social hierarchies/expectations; concern for finite tasks.
