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.

The empirical gist of the present paper is the semantic analysis of a number of English connective particles, including those usually referred to as ‘concessive’ and ‘quasi‐causal ...

Grammar and illocutionary force
Lingua, 1976Abstract In the first part of this paper my aim is to show that a particular set of facts about language, viz. conditions on the conjunction of non-matching sentence types, is not a matter of syntax, as has been claimed hitherto, but of illocutionary force.
