Abstract

The research aims to shed light on the article by studying it according to the theory of speech acts, as the article is a global literary art that has its presence and status, and we dealt with the book (when the records of Mankind deeds are laid open) by Adham Sharkawy because of its importance. Our reading of it came in the light of the theory of verbal verbs, which is one of the main pillars upon which pragmatics is based. Therefore, reading contemporary texts according to contemporary theories has its importance in probing, understanding and interpreting the texts, and since the research is limited to several papers, we chose in this section of the research three patterns. The speech acts are: Expressives, Commissives and Declarations. We dealt with the other two patterns (Assertives and Directives) in a previous research that was intellectually related to this research, and we did not want to mention all of the patterns in one sentence because of their impact on the incomplete understanding of the theory if we adopted the great abbreviation.
