| المستخلص: | Pragmatics, in a broadest sense of the term, is the delineation of meaning in context. Of the significant conceptual areas of this interdisciplinary field of linguistics is speech act theory, by and through which literary texts can be scrutinized as par- excellent examples of human experience. The study purports to investigate Shakespeare's Hamlet in terms of the speech act theory. It endeavors to unravel how dramatic characters use their utterances to perform certain functions in certain social context. So the study proceeds with the hypothesis that stretches of language in the dramatic world are used not merely to perform dramatic functions, but also to perform pragmatic acts in in the tragic sequential events of the play. To be systematic, the study will be divided into two parts. While part One throws light on the sphere of the speech act theory, part Two will be devoted to the application of the pragmatic perspective tot eh body of Shakespeare's Hamlet. The study has proved that Shakespeare's Hamlet, from a pragmatic stance, is not a play written to be performed on theatre, but as a multidramatic discourse whose charters' utterances carry performative acts. The study is rounded up with concluding remarks elicited from the analysis. |
