As a popular title, "beauty" is derived from the Internet term "Meimei", which is a transliteration of the word "sister" in Hong Kong and Taiwanese Mandarin in the mainland.

Speech act theory and the term "beauty".

The speech act theory was mainly developed by the British philosopher John ? Lens? Austin (John Langshaw Austin, 1962).

and the American Chinese philosopher John? j.John J?

Searle, 1969). Austin argues that people use language not just to speak and express a thought, but to achieve something by speaking—to act on words. He divides this act of speech through words into three types:

1) The act of using words to refer to things, that is, the act of saying meaningful words with correct grammar; (2) the act of acting by words, that is, the act of the speaker having extra-verbal meaning when he or she says certain words; (3) The act of making things happen, that is, the behavior of the listener after being affected after the implementation of certain verbal acts. Among these three types of speech acts, "acting by words" is the aspect that speech act theory pays the most attention to. The study of it can help us understand how the speaker expresses the "extraverbal meaning" through the "literal meaning", or how the listener derives the "extraverbal meaning" from the "literal meaning" of the speaker.

The American Chinese philosopher Searle developed Austin's theory of speech acts and proposed the concept of indirect speech acts: when the speaker is unwilling to directly use Shi Wei for some intention, he will use indirect speech means to achieve a certain speech act.
