The subject of this analysis are directive speech acts used as indirect speech acts. The author tries to show the schematic interpretation of indirect acts as directive speech acts according to the theory of Conversational Implicature by H.P. Grice and his Cooperation Principle. Then the author gives examples of communication situations that require the use of indirect directive speech acts.

The present paper aims to investigate which types of speech acts play a dominant role in the texts of online job advertisements, to what extent those acts are realised indirectly, and what purposes this indirectness may serve. The research is based on an analysis of a corpus comprising 100 online recruitment ads, of which 60 appeared in the Internet editions of three major UK newspapers, and the remaining 40 were found on two of the leading UK job portals. Methodologically the study is grounded in the cognitive approach to speech act theory, whereby the speech act taxonomy as proposed by J. Searle is treated as prototypical categorisation enhancing the organisation and systematicity of the analysis. The findings indicate that over a half of the micro-acts identified in the sample are realised indirectly. The two largest categories comprise assertions and ‘complex’/ambiguous micro-acts, both performing the functions of boasting and promising, and thus contributing to the overall persuasive appeal of recruitment ads.

A model for interpretation of direct and indirect speech acts using pragmatic theories (examples from Macedonian dramatic discourse) This paper presents a model for the interpretation of direct and indirect speech acts using pragmatic theories. The aim of this presentation is to show the functioning and mutual combinations of direct and, especially, indirect speech acts in conversational situations of dramatic discourse in Macedonian, and also to show the motivation for certain kinds of their realizations. Model interpretacji bezpośrednich i pośrednich aktów mowy poprzez zastosowanie teorii pragmatycznych (na przykładach z macedońskiego dyskursu dramatycznego) Artykuł przedstawia model interpretacji bezpośrednich i pośrednich aktów mowy w oparciu o teorie pragmatyczne. Celem prezentacji jest pokazanie, jak funkcjonują i jak w jakich wzajemnych kombinacjach występują one w sytuacji rozmowy w dramatycznych tekstach macedońskich, a także wskazanie motywacji pewnych form realizacji tych aktów.

The author analyzes the lexeme aluzja (‘allusion’) in the Polish language. Presenting its syntactical features on the background of some of its equivalents in other languages, he takes note of the limitations of collocations that are common to the lexeme in those languages. In the semantical analysis the author claims that two kinds of allusions can be distinguished. The first one plays only a referential role, directing the interlocutor’s attention towards a particular object (and it is very close to the English allusion) whereas the second one informs the receiver about something in an indirect way (as the English hint). Irrespective of how different the purposes of using allusions may be, it appears that aluzja implies the assumption shared by the speaker that the addressee has the knowledge and abilities indispensable for interpretation the allusion. The other assumption is also analyzed, namely: the speaker assumes that the real intention of his/her statement will be understood appropriately. However, aluzja fails to imply that it must be understood. It is possible that the addressee will either not perceive the statement as an indirect one, or notice an indirect character of the statement but will not relate it to the same object.
