According to [[Wolfgang Zierhofer]] [[speech act]]s determine what it is that bodies, animals, plants and machines in the end have to do. Whenever we do something with words, or even with signs or utterances, we try to influence a subsequent [[action]] by executing a speech act (Zierhofer, W., 2002, p.1362). This emphasis that language is an instrument that coordinates actions and regulates everything that people do. Therefore, the [[linguistic turn]] is a very important shift in action theory. == References == * Zierhofer, W. (2002).
