- Austin, J.L., Urmson, J.O., 1971. How to do things with words: the William James lectures delivered at Harvard University in 1955, Oxford paperbacks. Oxford Univ. Press, London.

Synopsis: Butler examines Austin's theory of the performativity of speech acts in the context of threatening speech, such as racial slurs, stating cautiously that language in this case is the site of injury, rather than the cause.
