Journal of Pragmatics, 1989
Abstract This paper tries to demonstrate that threats cannot be assimilated to illucutionary acts. Menacing is shown to be a very special type of perlocution, which cannot be held to be a counter-example to the “conventionalist” theory of speech acts, for which all illocutions are convention-constituted actions. The analysis proposed tends to confirm

Slote (‘The Many Faces of Empathy’) has argued that empathy plays a crucial role in such speech acts as questions and assertions. After clarifying some of the aims and limitations of speech act theory, providing an account of empathy and its potential epistemic value, and sketching the role that some speech acts play in expressing psychological states,

Uptake and Conventionality in Illocution
Lodz Papers in Pragmatics, 2009Abstract The aim of this paper is to outline a way of conceiving of the conventionality of illocutionary acts grounded in Austin’s original ideas. While the indispensability of the securing of uptake is widely accepted as a hallmark of illocution, it has also been taken as evidence of the intention-based nature of illocutionary acts as ...

Intercultural Pragmatics, 2014
This paper attempts to show that the linguistic or discursive marking of evidentiality plays a role in the performance of illocutionary acts and that its closeness to, and difference from, the attribution of epistemic modality can be explained in the light of an analysis of their respective relations to illocution.

What one ought to mean by “speech,” in the context of discussions of free speech, is whatever it is that a correct justification of the right to free speech justifies one in protecting. What one ought to mean, it may be argued, includes illocution, in the sense of J.L. Austin.

AbstractThis chapter expounds and discusses five challenges that have been levelled at Austin’s conception of illocution: (i) Austin’s theory holds for oral speech alone; (ii) Austin neglects the so-called ‘not serious’ uses of language; (iii) Austin is wrong in assuming that performative utterances are neither true nor false and giving priority to the
