The volume deals with the topic of illocutionary shell nouns in
English, i.e. nouns that encapsulate a content that is usually
expressed in a complement or in a separate sentence or clause, and
report or characterize it as a specific speech act. The book
reports a usage-based study of the complementation patterns in a
corpus of 335 illocutionary nouns distributed across the five
Searlean classes of assertive, commissive, directive, expressive,
and declarative nouns. The investigation aims to verify the
association between the meaning of these nouns and their
complementation patterns, and between their semantic similarity and
the similarity in the distribution of complementation patterns.
