Salut! Welcome to my brainy blog, where posts are inspired by things that irk or inspire me from an academic perspective. Some of the pages and posts are based on terms from a collection of essays "Key Terms in Language and Culture" edited by Alessandro Duranti; others are merely things I think about at school, or from a scientific perspective. Enjoy!
Performativity is a concept coined by John Austin, and in the world of linguistics refers to a category of utterances that have no truth value since they do not describe the world, but act upon it. A way of “doing things with words”.
