Unlike other modules, this module has integrated four presentations ranging from number 24 to 27. It is suggested to be read at a stretch for understanding the intricacy and in-depth logical arguments of the most influential work How to Do Things with Words (1955) envisaged by John Langshaw Austin (hereafter, Austin).

John Austin (1911-1960) was a British philosopher and known for his contribution to linguistic philosophy. He was not only an extraordinary thinker but also a genius in his creative argumentative skill. He expressed his ideas about 'truth theory' in his work 'speech act' in a perspicuous manner. He evoked that to see and interpret the worldly affairs we should have language. In other words, language represents the world. Further, he enunciated that we couldn't think anything without language. It is because the very fact that thinking is impossible without language. As such language reflects the world. We use words to express about the objects of the world. Each object is associated with a name and it stands for a word. But uniquely it is found that a word may have multiple meanings. In this case, we need to choose the appropriate word to convey the correct meaning in the usage of our language, and thereby represent our thoughts correctly and concisely to others. Thus, meaning is a primal tool for a ceaseless communication.
