Abstract

There is a broad understanding of what J.L. Austin's method is. To follow this method you, as a group, would choose an area of discourse, collect the relevant vocabulary and imagine examples of possible circumstances to use those words. Having done so, you would attempt to develop general accounts of your findings and compare them with the results of other researchers.
