Conversational Turns

This paper aims at interrogating the significance of pragmatics in analyzing Margaret Ogola’s two novels; The River and the Source (1994) and I swear by Apollo (2002). The researcher analyses the characters’ conversational turns in the novels using Austin (1962) and Searle 1969 Speech Act Theory. The study employs an analytical research design using a mixed method data analysis. The findings indicate that every utterance used by a character performs three simultaneous acts namely; a locutionary, an illocutionary and perlocutionary. In addition, the data shows that every utterance produced by a character in the novels could be categorized under one of the five major categories speech acts proposed by Searle (1969); representatives, expressive, directives, commisives or declarations. The study found that the representatives are the most dominant in both novels while declarations the least. The study also reveals that each major speech act contains a wide range of sub acts or illocutionary forces which are distinguished based on their felicity conditions. The study therefore proposes that pragmatic analysis be adopted as an effective tool in the analysis of the characters’ verbal interactions in novels. In addition, further research could be conducted on pragmatic analysis of novels by other writers.

The study examines the Pragmatic meanings of names and naming in Igarra (Etuno). Data gathered from Igarra (Etuno) names have been purposely selected for Speech Act analysis because of their assertive, penetrating and incisive messages. Specifically, the Speech Act theory which consists of locutionary, illocutionary and perlocutionary acts was applied in the data analysis. The ‘invisible meaning’ of the selected names were analysed using the pragmatic and linguistic tools of context and speech acts. It has been observed that Igarra people previously preferred names sourced from other languages especially Yoruba language but there have been shifts in attitude because of the realization that Igarra (Etuno) names are as meaningful as names from other climes. Another significant reason is the fact that Igarra people have now recognized the importance of preserving Etuno language. The study investigated the pragmatic implications of the names by exploring the reasons and circumstances of the selected names. The names were purposively selected from families and friends. For ease of analysis, the data were grouped according to different circumstances surrounding the names. The findings from this study showed that Igarra names do not only identify a person but also communicate so much about the circumstances surrounding the person’s birth. The study concludes that names perform several speech acts like informing, requesting, questioning or expressing gratitude which are reflective of the emotional link or expectations of the giver of the name. The study recommends that names and naming should indeed have cultural inkling and should reflect the situational nuances about their birth. This will aid language survival.
