The model of action is used to develop rules that characterize a...
متن کاملSpeech Acts On Trial
In this document we discuss the applicability of speech act theory as a theoretical foundation for the design of information technology (IT).

One question we address concerns what happens when we import passive descriptive theories from other disciplines and use them as a basis in active des...
