问题 According to Austin, which of the following utterances can be regarded as a performative?

选项 A、His house is too small.
B、I name this ship the Queen Elizabeth.
C、It is raining.
D、He has broken the window.

答案B

解析在早期的言语行为理论中，Austin认为通常人们使用语言并非为判断其真假，而是用语言来做事，他区分了陈述性行为(constative)和施事性行为(performative)。施事性行为就是指人们使用语言是为了做一件事，如B选项，说这句话的同时即完成了给船命名这件事。
