Abstract

The objective of this article is to authentify speech acts, in the Arabic traditional heritage, studied in the field of “science of meanings” by grammarians, rhetoricians and jurists; and to show that these studies were pragmatic in the sense that they emphasized literal meanings and non-literal meanings depending on contexts and speakers’ intentions. And this is what is called in the theory of speech acts literal illocutionary forces and non-literal illocutionary forces
