An Entity of Type: Abstraction100002137, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The descriptive fallacy refers to reasoning which treats a speech act as a logical proposition, which would be mistaken when the meaning of the statement is not based on its truth condition. It was suggested by the British philosopher of language J. L. Austin in 1955 in the lectures now known as How to Do Things With Words. Austin argued that performative utterances are not meaningfully evaluated as true or false but rather by other measures, which would hold that a statement such as "thank you" is not meant to describe a fact and to interpret it as such would be to commit the descriptive fallacy.

  • A falácia descritiva refere-se ao raciocínio que trata um ato de fala como uma proposição lógica, o que seria equivocado quando o significado do enunciado não se baseava em sua condição de verdade. Foi sugerido pelo filósofo da linguagem J. L. Austin em 1955 nas palestras hoje conhecidas como How to Do Things With Words. Austin argumentou que as declarações performativas não são significativamente avaliadas como verdadeiras ou falsas, mas sim por outras medidas, o que consideraria que uma declaração como "grato" não se destina a descrever um fato e interpretá-lo como tal seria cometer a falácia descritivo.
