Talk:Felicity (pragmatics)

Inline citations
To be honest, I don't see why this article would need inline citations, since it derives from a single source (namely, the book that is mentioned as the reference). In my opinion, it would only be neccessary to have inline citations if another reference would be added (e.g., Searle's "Expression and Meaning"). Then again, I might not have enough wikipedia editing experience to be able to make accurate judgements about this issue.

 * I absolutely agree, this article is nothing but a depiction of Austin's theory, so it's completely based on the one given source and inline citations would be pointless. I'll remove the template. --Kronf (talk) 14:34, 25 February 2014 (UTC)

Misinformation
This entry is very misleading. Even though “felicity condition” is Austin’s term, analyses offered for different illocutionary acts are from Searle (Speech Acts, 1969). For instance, Austin do not mention Searle’s term “essential conditions” and there is nothing corresponding to it in Austin’s account. Austin’s and Searle’s speech act theory are actually quite different, so all this is just confusing. 153.1.36.159 (talk) 07:45, 10 May 2017 (UTC)
