Abstract

This research aims to shed light on speech acts, their psychological dimensions, and their impact on interpreting discourse. The research took Jean Dost's novels as an applied sample due to their importance in that they convey a human experience and work to deliver messages to the recipient through their content. There are matters that contribute to activating the use of (language and communication) to meet the personal and societal needs of humans and are represented in the art of dealing with the world or how to deal with it. In understanding that world, the individual's mission, whether the individual is a speaker or a sender, lies in thwarting the flaws of language and being aware of the traps of grammar. In our research, we addressed linguistic communication and its relationship to the communicative context, and the relationship of the communicative dimensions to each other, in addition to their impact on the communication process. This research took a pivotal aspect in linguistic communication, which is speech acts and interpreting discourse. In this aspect, we tried to understand the process of linguistic communication and interpretation and the relationship of all of this to the communicative aspects and their psychological and emotional impact on the sender and the recipient.
