am i the only one that picks up a slight jerkishness from john searle? i've watched at least three hour long interviews with him and he's the only philosopher which i feel i can perceive a consistent arrogance on his part.
Regardless of the philosophy, anyone else notice this or am i crazy?

@archdeaconj Perlocutionary effects are not relative to a particular perspective, they are any effects caused by the speech that are there in some objective, perspective-independent sense. If the speech act causes the listener to feel fear then fear is one of its perlocutionary effects. This is true even if the listener successfully hides his fear from the speaker, or if the listener is self-deluded and doesn't recognizes that he is experiencing fear, whereas the speaker does recognize it.
-
Its not clear from the above whether perlocutionary speech acts which describe the utterance in terms of the effect they have on the listener (or addressee, if you like) are descriptions from the perspective of the speaker or the one spoken to. For example, suppose the speaker says: Is there a mouse under the table? and the addressee then screams. Is the perlocutionary act the fear perceived by the speaker or the fear felt by the addressee? Suppose the latter only feigns fear.

Actually, no, he was talking about semantics there--'world' is not meant in terms of worldly use, so much as of descriptions of reality, truth, etc. Pragmatics is the study of the use of language, by linguistic agents, which is what speech act theory is concerned with.

the interaction between language and the world (about which he speaks at the very beginning of this 3rd part) is called pragmatics and is a rather interesting field of study.
