Abstract

This paper is extracted from the Ph.D. dissertation titled “Reflocutionary (Non)speech Acts in Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman and Salah Abd El-Sabour’s Ma’sat Al-Hallaj (The Tragedy of Al-Hallaj): A Cognitive Pragmatic Study”. The current paper aims at applying reflocutionary acts to Salah Abd El-Sabour’s Ma’sat Al-Hallaj (The Tragedy of Al-Hallaj). This sort of act is related to the speaker’s reaction of his\her own illocutionary act, and the impact of the addressee’s perlocutionary act on the speaker as a continuing chain of actions. Thus, it investigates this act from a cognitive pragmatic perspective, so as to elaborate how it is carried out. Moreover, this paper applies reflocutionary non-speech acts to Ma’sat Al-Hallaj (The Tragedy of Al-Hallaj) highlighting the power of silence in parallel with that of words. Additionally, the paper presents different forms of reflocutionary both speech and non-speech acts found through the analysis of Salah Abd El-Sabour’s Ma’sat Al-Hallaj (The Tragedy of Al-Hallaj).
