From Utterances to Speech Acts
Kissine, Mikhail (Universite Libre de Bruxelles)
A central aspect of linguistic communication is that most of the time our utterances are automatically interpreted as speech acts; as assertions, conjectures, orders, requests and promises. This book provides an interdisciplinary theory of speech acts, couched in non-technical terms, which will appeal to linguists, philosophers, psychologists and cognitive scientists.
