Abstract / Description of output

Chrisman and Hubbs distinguish the object, redress, and means of a protest, in order to explain how protests have dual communicative aspects. Second, they use Austin’s notion of a felicity condition to further characterize the dual communicative aspects of protest. Finally, they turn to Kukla and Lance’s idea of a normative functionalist analysis of speech acts to advance the view that protests are a complex speech act constituted by dual input normative statuses and dual output normative statuses.
