“…Those acts were expressed when they felt glad as they succeed in doing something. The examples of gratitude acts were uttered when they said "makasih" to mean they expressed gratitude to their teacher, for they had accustomed the autistic children always to behave positively (Ni, Sin, 2011). These three types of acts were usually used when the autistic children were in a mood, however when the autistic children were in a tantrum or being angry without any casualties, therefore there often be found several unidentified acts (utterances not for communication, but to excite emotions instead, such as shouting repeatedly).…”

This study documented illocutionary acts employed by Indonesian children who had autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Twelve children were recruited using a convenience sampling technique. The data were gathered through in-depth observation and clinical intervention settings. These data were then analyzed qualitatively. The findings of this study portrayed that the participants employed three illocutionary acts in their communication. They employed directive (D), expressive (E), assertive, and speech acts (A) or DEA. Interestingly, the participants did not produce commissive and declarative utterances. Instead, they used declaration (D), interrogative (I), and imperative (I) speech acts. Based on the findings, it can be asserted that in terms of communication skills, the participants generally deployed simple directive, assertive, and expressive (DEA) speech acts with a direct literal speech act strategy. This study also suggested that in language learning and clinical intervention, teachers or therapists should consider the individual condition and understand the autistic children's illocutionary speech acts.

“…In the case of utterances 9 and 10, standard interpretation allows identifying a request expressed in the indirect form of a question, 23 in the case of utterance 11-a proposal, whereas in all cases (9-11), the illocutionary force on the speech act level is inadequate to the illocutionary force at the procedural act level. Let us think about what the cause is.…”

The subject of interest of this article is procedural acts considered as double-conventionalized acts. It is assumed in this article that in the case of procedural acts, one can distinguish two levels of conventionalization: (1) the level of a speech act and (2) the level of a procedural act. Both above-mentioned levels affect each other in various ways, what is discussed in the article. As assumed in the article, the analysis of acts characterized by this particular trait (double conventionalization) and with due account of this trait allows one to observe phenomena that can be hard or even impossible to notice in the process of analyzing acts that are deprived of this trait. Furthermore, it seems that the description of this type of acts may particularly enrich the current discussion on some properties of speech acts held on the grounds of philosophy of language or pragmalinguistics. The research material used in this article as an illustration consists of actual utterances of participants of Polish court proceedings used by them at a hearing.

“…It makes researches on popularizing science extremely valuable in both theoretical and practical aspects, prompting to tackle this task from different approaches. A pragmalinguistic approach seems to be rather promising for explanation how to adapt the professional technical vocabulary and texts for a new communicative situation with recipients having different professional background [2,3,4]. Popularization discourse is a type of communication when professional knowledge and the language describing this knowledge are simplified and/or transformed in an appropriate way.…”

The article aims at analysis of popularization tactics as means of science popularization. The authors see these tactics as an innovative means of popularization of science and education development in the professional sphere. These tactics help specialists explain certain terms and concepts of a professional domain. As a research material, the authors chose on-line legal texts that are in demand for wide readership. The following tactics have been revealed: choosing sub-technical terms or spoke equivalents, using plain grammar structures and short understandable sentences, explication of professional presuppositions, quoting and referencing to the legal acts, using non-verbal elements. The authors used the National Corpus of the Russian Language for the comparison of the usage of professional terms and their spoken equivalents. The findings of the research can be used for linguistic and pragmatic simplification of legal texts (on-line and off-line), and professional texts of other professional domains. The findings of this research are essential for preparation of educational materials for higher professional institutions.
