“…Invectives such as audacia and furor therefore played a crucial role in estranging Catiline from the Senate and the People, and thus in creating support for Cicero's attempts to get rid of him. 12 What is remarkable about Cicero's opening is the equation of audacia with furor. Furor stands for the type of madness that results in rage and is usually inspired by a powerful emotion.…”

Known to us only through the spectrum of hostile sources, Lucius Sergius Catilina (108–62 bc) is an enigma. Nevertheless, one aspect of his personality seems clear. However much they differ in their evaluation of the patrician's failed coup d’état in 63 bc, our main authorities, Cicero and Sallust, both assert his tremendous daring. This article will demonstrate that their agreement on this issue is deceptive. Reviewing their use of the word audacia (‘daring’) as an attribution typical for rebel behaviour, I will explore how its use in combination with words for madness and despair provides it with different positive as well as negative connotations. Although, as we shall see in more detail below, many scholars have either ignored the term or discussed audacia as a standard, mono-dimensional piece of invective, it is a dynamic and multifaceted word representative of the chaos of the Late Republic.

“…Studies on speeches or speech act analysis have been long regarded as one of the most exciting topics on language, literature/novel and linguistics, especially as an interdisciplinary body of knowledge (Batmang, 2018) (Flanagan, 2013;Mills, 2014). Some experts analysed the pragmatic, social, political, discourse, and critical impact of speeches and its rhetoric (Boromisza-Habashi, 2012;Buysse, 2012;Ellwanger, 2012;Vasaly, 2013), whereas some others preferred to explore the literature, semantic, gestures and its traditional meaning of speech (Bergmann et al, 2011;Nur, 2016;Tur & De Mori, 2011) or the combination of both (Egorova et al, 2013;Fetzer & Bull, 2012;Foucart et al, 2015).…”

The present inquiry is designed to investigate the use of illocutionary acts in Nouman Ali Khan’s speeches and to analyse the functions of the types of illocutionary acts from the speeches. The data were analysed by using the textual analysis and open coding from three speeches by Nouman Ali Khan in a seminar titled “When Muslims Works Together” at the Islamic Association of North Texas (IANT). They are classified into some categories based on Searle’s theory. The finding of this study showed that (1) there are four types of illocutionary acts; representatives, directives, commissives, and expressives, (2) the illocutionary type of representatives is the most frequent types of illocutionary act appeared in the speeches, i.e., 306 utterances or 63.22% with five functions; informing, stating, describing, reminding and concluding, (3) then, the second most frequently types of illocutionary act appeared in the speeches was the illocutionary directives, i.e., 144 utterances or 29.75% with five functions; suggesting, commanding, inviting, forbidding and questioning, (4) the illocutionary commissives occurred in 22 utterances or 4.55% with two functions; promising and warning., (5) the illocutionary expressives are found in 12 utterances or 2.48% with two functions; praising and expressing hope or wish. This study implies the need for knowledge distribution of Searle’s classic speech acts concept within the scope of other contemporary Muslim preachers.
