John Langshaw Austin (26 March 1911 – 8 February 1960) was a British philosopher of language, best known for developing the theory of speech acts. Prior to Austin, philosophers focused primarily on statements and assertions rather than on how language can be used to perform actions. He highlighted that uttering phrases like 'I promise to do such and such' is better understood as an act of making a promise rather than merely stating a fact, leading to his influential work 'How to Do Things with Words'.
