The most valuable of Austin's theories are speech act theory and linguistic phenomenology. At present, the research on speech act theory has been relatively comprehensive,but the research on linguistic phenomenology is insufficient. Therefore, this dissertation mainly analyzes linguistic phenomenology and its application in A Plea for Excuses, the study of the concept of "commitment" reflected in this paper specifically.Austin's linguistic phenomenology focuses on ordinary language which is less polluted by traditional philosophy, and he tries to promote the further development of pragmatics by solving the problem of misuse in people's ordinary language. While eliminating the problems caused by language misuse, he makes pragmatics a new development. This dissertation attempts to compare and study Austin's linguistic phenomenology from pragmatics and phenomenology angles, and at the same time provides a detailed analysis and inspection for us to better use ordinary language.
