Abstract
Speech Acts are the third type of pragmatics. They refer to what is actually being done in a given context because pragmatics is concerned with the study of language in use. From Austen's point of view, they are the acts that the speaker performs with his/her own words under extralinguistic conditions. The present study will reveal the speech acts in Elia Abi Madhi’s poem, The Clay to show their types and their performing purpose depending on Searle’s classification of speech acts into informative, directive, obligatory, expressive, and declarative.
