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 ...

1977
A picture, say of a man, can be used in an indefinite number of ways. It can be used to conjure up memories, to advertise the clothes that he wears, to inform an audience of a rare disease, or to give a visual description of the symptoms of infective hepatitis. It can be used as an object of worship, as a decoration; or again, it can be used to explain

Classification of intersubjective illocutionary acts
Language in Society, 1981ABSTRACTAn illocutionary act presupposes not only a speaker, but also an other who is the intended recipient of the utterance's illocutionary force. Thus every illocutionary act has an intersubjective component; it connects two centers of experience in a particular way.

Communicative and Illocutionary Acts
2003In his much discussed essay Meaning (1957) H. P. Grice chose an approach to Pragmatics which is independent of all specific terms of speech act theory and thereby not burdened with specific problems of that theory. It can remain open here as to whether this is a completely different approach: this depends upon where the core of speech act theory is ...

Austin on Locutionary and Illocutionary Acts
The Philosophical Review, 1968JN ATTEMPTING to explore Austin's notion of an illocutionary act I have found his corresponding notion of a locutionary act very unhelpful and have been forced to adopt a quite different distinction between illocutionary acts and propositional acts.2 I think this difference is more than a matter of taxonomical preference and involves important ...

The classification of cooperative illocutionary acts
Language in Society, 1979ABSTRACTThe different taxonomies of illocutionary acts proposed by Austin, Searle, Vendler, Ohmann, and Fraser are compared in summary form, with Searle's taxonomy taken as a reference standard. All five of these taxonomies slight two kinds of illocutionary act: (I) illocutionary acts that combine commissive with directive illocutionary force (e.g ...

Illocutionary Acts and Attitude Expression
Linguistics and Philosophy, 2003In the classic Linguistic Communication and Speech Acts, Kent Bach and Robert M. Harnish advocated the idea that to perform an illocutionary act often just means to express certain attitudes. The underlying definition of attitude expression, however, gives rise to serious problems because it requires intentions of a peculiar kind. Recently, Wayne Davis

Speech Acts and Illocutionary Acts
This entry discusses speech acts and illocutionary acts in the light of the different theoretical frameworks in which they have been explored from the second postwar period onward, thus distinguishing a proper pragmatic approach (either conventionality based, as in Austin 1975, or intention based, as in Searle 1969; 1976), a sociocultural approach ...openaire +1 more source
