N2 - The paper deals with the analysis of indirect speech acts. It further explains indirectness and its usage in dramatic discourse, sums up and comments on theoretical definitions and assumptions concerning the theory of speech acts. This work further discusses the usage of speech acts in conversational situations with the accent particularly on indirectness and its application in the language of drama. Indirect speech acts arise in cases in which a sentence that contains the illocutionary force indicators for one kind of illocutionary act is uttered to perform, in addition, another type of illocutionary act. The illocutionary point of any utterance is discovered by an inferential process that attends to speaker's tone of voice and the context of utterance, knowledge of the language itself and of conversational conventions. In the course of analysis four types of exchanges were identified: direct speech acts motivated by direct speech acts, indirect speech acts motivated by direct speech acts, direct speech acts motivated by indirect speech acts and finally indirect speech acts motivated by indirect speech acts, which occur in various proportions in dramatic texts. Indirectness is a widely used conversational strategy. People tend to use indirect speech acts mainly in connection with politeness since they thus diminish the unpleasant message contained in requests and orders. However, politeness is not the only motivation for indirectness. People also use indirect strategies when they want to make their speech more interesting, when they want to reach goals different from their partners' or when they want to increase the force of the message communicated. People are well aware of the fact that some, mostly negative, information should not be expressed explicitly or directly and that indirect strategies be applied. Indirectness nowadays plays a vital role in our everyday communication which is successfully implied and shown in dramatic discourse.
