According to Searle’s classification of illocutionary acts, to ask someone to pass a book is a directive, and to advise someone to watch less TV is not a directive.
参考答案
试题解析
本题考查言外行为的分类。
根据Searle对言外行为的分类，指令类（directive）是说话人尝试让听话人做某事。邀请，建议，请求，警告，威胁，命令都属于指令。因此“要某人递书”是指令，“建议某人少看电视”也是指令。
而题干说advise someone to watch less TV建议某人少看电视不属于指令类，所以这种说法不正确。
