Abstract: In the study presented, the researchers attempt to systematically review the works performed on the “Ostensible Invitation speech act”. First, they will briefly talk about the background of communicative acts, their uses, and why we need to know about them as language researchers or teachers. The paper, then, will continue to provide some studies considering a number of languages and cultures, and the overview that each researcher had while doing the work accordingly. As we know, every language is closely tied to its related culture and traditions which would result in some considerations during expressing their utterances. In some cases, not following those considerations can cause misunderstandings and even can be considered as being rude. Thus, the need for such studies will be highlighted. On the other hand, there is not a sufficient number of works dealing with this matter of concern. By performing the presented paper, the researchers could gather some of the important ones and study them all together to conclude the points offered and illustrate the strengths and weaknesses, if any. In this way, it will give insight to future researchers on how they can deal with such a valuable field of study so that they can help teachers and learners.
