peer agreement (net): +1theory of speech acts Explanation: As the field is specifically given as 'linguistics', I feel the other two suggestions so far don't quite fit the bill. If 'Laletik' is translated as 'Lehre vom Sprechen', and 'Lehre' is taken to mean 'theory', we certainly arrive in more linguistic terrain: [DOC] Austin's (1962) Theory of Speech Acts File Format: Microsoft Word 2000 - View as HTML ... Austin's (1962) Theory of Speech Acts. Austin, JL 1962. How to do things with words.

We present here a speech act theory, formalized in hierarchic ... portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=982044 Googling around the area proves rewarding. I can't yet, however, track down anything remotely corresponding to 'Laletik', which doesn't mean there isn't some term. The closest I get is 'lallation', which in phonetics is used to indicate a speech defect arising from pronouncing 'r' as 'l'; the word is considered to derive from Latin 'lallare' = to sing lullaby (Collins Dictionary). -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs 5 mins (2005-05-10 20:21:59 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I have just noticed franglish\'s advice and at these sites the meaning is given as \'Sprechkunde\', which is a different kettle of fish altogether!- going in fact in the direction of Inese\'s \'elocution\', which is Sprechtechnik,/-schulung,/-erziehung, Redekunst. |
