Illocutionary Forces and What Is Said
Mind & Language, 2009Abstract: A psychologically plausible analysis of the way we assign illocutionary forces to utterances is formulated using a ‘contextualist’ analysis of what is said. The account offered makes use of J. L. Austin’s distinction between phatic acts (sentence meaning), locutionary acts (contextually determined what is said), illocutionary acts, and ...

The paper deals with Speech Act Theory from the perspective of Cognitive Linguistics. It puts forward a refined theoretical model, called the "Cost-Benefit Cognitive Model", which shows how illocutionary meaning is conveyed on the basis of high-level situational models constructed through the application of the high-level metonymy specific for generic ...

Speech acts have sometimes been considered as not embeddable, for principled reasons. In this paper, I argue that illocutionary acts can be embedded under certain circumstances. I provide for a semantic interpretation of illocutionary acts as functions from world/time indices to world/time indices, which provides them with a semantic type, and allows ...

A picture, say of a man, can be used in an indefinite number of ways.

It can be used as an object of worship, as a decoration; or again, it can be used to explain
