"Iconicity and Arbitrariness of Linguistic Expressions in Speech Acts" is a theoretical linguistic study addressed to anyone conducting research or interested in cognitive semantics and pragmatics. The discursive perspective in the study of speech acts proposes a review of the numerous ways of analysing and classifying speech acts, creating a typology of speech acts based on their typology, relevant to their discursive behaviour. The specific features of conversational interaction and adjacency pairs are then described as minimal sequences of dialogical interaction. The novelty and scientific originality of the research lie in the fact that the relationship was established between illocutionary and discursive features of speech acts. The shift from theories that favour arbitrariness to the ones to uphold iconicity of linguistic signs and expressions is emphasised in order to conclude the existence of various levels and degrees of each when they are looked at from the angle of speech acts.
