Theory of Felicity Condition

In discourse analysis study, there should be discussed about felicity condition. In this case, we will try to analyze some condition in the conversation that we record from people. There are some types of conditions; they are general condition, content condition, preparatory condition, essential condition, and sincerity condition.

            It is called as general condition if the participant can understand the language being used and that they are not play-acting or being nonsensical.

It is called as content condition if a promise or warning of the utterance must be about a future event. A further content condition for a promise requires that the future event will be a future act of the speaker.

It is preparatory condition using for a promise which is significantly different from those for a warning. When I promise to do something, there are two preparatory conditions: first, the event would not happen by itself, and second, the event will have a beneficial effect. When I utter a warning, there are the following preparatory conditions: it isn’t clear that the hearer knows the event will occur, the speaker does think the event will occur and the event will not have a beneficial effect.

Related to that condition is sincerity condition for a promise the speaker genuinely intends to carry out the future action and for warming the speaker genuinely believe that the future event will not have beneficial effect.

 Finally, there is a essential condition, which covers that fact that by the act of uttering a promise, I thereby intend to create an obligation to carry out the action as promised. In other words, the utterance changes my state from non-obligation to obligation. Similarly, which warming and their essential condition, the utterance changes my state from non-informing of a bat future event to informing.
