ah. ok.thank you, LapetiteOcha, for clarifying, or at least providing some context.

Your question refererred to a linguistics term, referred to as the "speech act".

A topic of which I know nothing but which, while I am not a linguist, I found to be quite interesting - particularly as I read through some related discussions on 'language and thought'... xD

 

 

----

ps. As I had no contextual reference, originally, I (curiously?) made the assumption that you were referring to some legislative "edict", somewhere.

(coincidentally, there actually was some legislation passed in the USA,in 2010, called the "Speech Act", which was the enactment into (USA) law of attempts to eliminate "foreign" nationals' raising of libel claims againt USA citizens, under the guise of "protecting USA 'first amendment' rights".

--> a topic of little, or no, interest to me: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/SPEECH_Act )

no. ( well, at least *I* don't)

could you please expand on the topic, and also include a link describing this "speech act", so that others may become aware of this, and how it may affect us ?
thank you...
