Situated Communicative Acts: A Deontic Approach
نویسنده
چکیده
We delineate a theory of communicative acts as situated actions, through which agents co-construct a viable situation by creating or otherwise manipulating deontic affordances. We rely on Gilbert’s theory of plural subjects to introduce the concept of joint meaning as a type of joint commitment. We then show that our approach allows for an innovative treatment of indirect speech.

However, a universally accepted standard fo...

Even hesitating to perform a requested physical action may be viewed as a signal of non-understanding. Thus, un...
متن کاملActs of Promising in Dynamified Deontic Logic
In this paper, the logic of acts of commanding ECL II introduced in Yamada (2007b) will be extended in order to model acts of promising together with acts of commanding. Effects of both kinds of acts are captured in terms, not of changes they bring about on propositional attitudes of their addressees, but of changes they bring about on deontic status of relevant action alternatives; they are mo...
