Speech Acts, Dialogues and the Common Ground
The formal semantics of speech acts, even in the classical framework of illocutionary logic, requires considerations that go beyond individual speech activity and beyond the interpretation of individual sentences.

متن کاملOn speech acts of commitment in English
Speech acts of commitment have been recognized since the early days of speech act theory as being a well-defined subset (Austin, 1962: 157ff.) and have been the object of attention, at least in the formal sense of specifying precondition and contexts for their occurrence and success (Searle, 1969: 57ff.). Commitment is a quite wide-ranging phenomenon and the narrower act of promising should be ...

It...
