نویسندگان
چکیده
Usnal plan-based approaches to speech act interpretatiott require that perib~zning a speech act implies its succes:s. These approaches are thus useless for describing failing illecut~onary or perlocutionary acts.

This approach is contrasted with that of I 'errault which aims to overcome similar problems.
