Indirect speech acts are frequently used in verbal communication, the interpretation of them is of great importance in order to meet the demands of the development of students' communicative competence. This paper, therefore, intends to present Searle' s indirect speech acts and explore the way how indirect speech acts are interpreted in accordance with two influential theories. It consists of four parts. Part one gives a general introduction to the notion of speech acts theory. Part two makes an elaboration upon the conception of indirect speech act theory proposed by Searle and his supplement and development of illocutionary acts. Part three deals with the interpretation of indirect speech acts. Part four draws implication from the previous study and also serves as the conclusion of the dissertation.

Indirect speech of scolding is a kind of indirect speech act. ISA (Indirect Speech Act) proposed by Searle doesn’t explain the cognitive environment of S and H respectively, so it cannot explain why S beats around bush to scold H and how H infers it, and so forth. This paper aims to demonstrate the overwhelming explanatory power of RT compared with ISA, by analyzing indirect speech act of scolding within the framework of RT (Relevance Theory).
