The linguistic meaning means what a hearer understand utterance as what it is. and the perlocutionary meaning means what a hearer does that by means of reflecting nonlinguistic elements to linguistic meaning. Performative means what a hearer act as he understands the meaning. There are two kinds of performative. The one is linguistic performative and the other is perlocutionary performative. When a hearer acts in linguistic meaning, it is called linguistic performative, but when he acts in performative meaning-which is reflected nonlinguistic elements to linguistic meaning, it is called perlocutionary performative. In the process of a hearer’s performative, nonlinguistic elements make the focus of utterance not keep with the one of performative. These nonlinguistic elements are appeared differently according to personal aspects such as age and careers, and at the same time a hearer does not reflect these nonlinguistic elements to performative equally in every situation. The younger he is, the more he reflects nonlinguistic elements to performative, but the older he is, the fewer he reflects them. This study is to verify nonlinguistic elements and their extent reflected to the hearer’s performative. As a result, for the aim of this study, hearers’ performative are analyzed by direct method.Read More
