Abstract :
In the study presented, the researchers
attempt to systematically review the works performed on
the “Ostensible Invitation speech act”. First, they will
briefly talk about the background of communicative
acts, their uses, and why we need to know about them as
language researchers or teachers. The paper, then, will
continue to provide some studies considering a number
of languages and cultures, and the overview that each
researcher had while doing the work accordingly. As we
know, every language is closely tied to its related culture
and traditions which would result in some considerations
during expressing their utterances. In some cases, not
following those considerations can cause
misunderstandings and even can be considered as being
rude. Thus, the need for such studies will be highlighted.
On the other hand, there is not a sufficient number of
works dealing with this matter of concern. By
performing the presented paper, the researchers could
gather some of the important ones and study them all
together to conclude the points offered and illustrate the
strengths and weaknesses, if any. In this way, it will give
insight to future researchers on how they can deal with
such a valuable field of study so that they can help
teachers and learners.
