Worksheet 1

Group: Danúbia, Flaviane, Viviane, Edvaldo

a) The illocutionary force of his utterance is to get a ride, he wants to be picked up and he tries to do it by persuading the drivers, but he does it indirectly since his sign is not clear enough.

b) It appears to benefit the person who will give the ride because it seems he is offering a good opportunity, “the last chance” to the person. It seems the person who will give the ride will take some advantage of that.

c) The Maxim of Manner is not observed because his message is not very clear, it is not direct. The way he uses to ask for a ride is not very efficient since there are a lot of words in his sign. Maybe the drivers won’t have time to read the sign and understand what he means. So, for that context a long message doesn’t work well.
