Abstract Speech act theorists tend to hold that the illocutionary force of an utterance is determined by one interlocutor alone: either speaker or hearer. Yet experience tells us our utterances not unilaterally. Rather, communication often feels collaborative. In this paper, I develop and defend a collaborative theory force, according which agreement reached This theory, builds upon linguistic ...

Intuitively, attitude markers like alas encode not-at-issue information about the speaker’s attitude towards the content of the sentence it occurs in (Frege, 1956; Vanderveken, 1990). Using attitude markers as a case study, I argue that there is in fact a difference between this type of content and canonical not-at-issue content, like that encoded in utterance modifiers like frankly or evidenti...

I coin the term ‘emotive markers’ to describe words like alas which encode not-at-issue information about the speaker’s emotive attitude towards the content of the utterances they occur in. I argue that there are important differences emotive markers and encoders of canonical not-at-issue content, like the utterance modifier frankly or the evidential adverb apparently. In contrast to the latter...

This study aimed to describe the types of speech acts in ”Say It Loud” YouTube video by Azie and Evelyn. found that there were three John R. Searle’s video. Those are Locutionary Act, Assertive Illocutionary, Perlocutionary Act. The Illocutionary Act was most used concluded illocutionary perlocutionary make this interesting informative.

Illocutionary structure in real language use is intricate and complex, and nowhere more so than in argument and debate. Identifying this structure without any theoretical scaffolding is extremely challenging even for humans. New work in Inference Anchoring Theory has provided significant advances in such scaffolding which are helping to allow the analytical challenges of argumentation structure...

My general goal in this paper is to explore possible relations between a cognitive analysis of the notion of reference on the one hand, and computational models of speech acts (illocutionary acts, to be precise) on the other. On the cognitive side, we have the following problem: how can thoughts (and sentences that articulate them) be about objects? The deceptive simplicity of the question mask...

A general logical framework is presented to represent speech acts that have institutional effects. It is based on the concepts of the Speech Act Theory and takes the form of the FIPA Agent Communication Language. The most important feature is that the illocutionary force of all of these speech acts is declarative. The formal language that is proposed to represent the propositional content has a...

In cooperative systems many of the obligations, prohibitions and permissions that govern the behaviour of the system exist as a result of communication with users and/or other systems. In this paper we will discuss the role of illocutionary logic and deontic logic in modelling these communication processes and the resulting norms. The combination of illocutionary and deontic logic can be used t...
