Abstract
Until recently, research on indirect Speech Act in Chinese has been conducted steadily. Therefore, I analyzed on indirect Speech Act Cognitive mechanisms. The results are listed below: In the first, I tried to analyze the structure of Rhetorical Questions, and confirmed that existence of illocutionary force referent. In addition to, I confirmed that it generate 'pressure the passive to do specific Act' construction meaning. Second, I analyzed that the Cognitive mechanisms through Subjectification and objectification. An analysis of discourse shows that it serve as an euphemistic nuance through Subjectification mechanisms work in Request Speech Act. On the other hand, It serve as Standardization of the Speakers idea through objectification mechanisms work in Reprehension Speech Act. And third, 'Metaphor' is one of the most frequently used Cognitive mechanisms. I tried to analyze the Abstract concept 'Time' and 'Youth' crystallizes into 'Metaphor' based on Chinese discourse.
