Austinian Themes offers a reconstruction of philosophical views on several themes developed by J. L. Austin. Marina Sbisà draws on both published work as well as unpublished manuscript notes to offer a defence of Austin's speech act theory and views on truth, perception, and philosophical method.

This book collects seventeen essays published between 1984 and 2020, in which Marina Sbisà develops her distinctive approach to speech acts and related pragmatic phenomena. The essays examine the categories of speech act theory with the aim of providing an accurate analysis of how speech can be action.
