First published in 1985, this book aims to develop an approach to
speech acts that has the virtue of being straight-forward,
explicit, formal and flexible enough to accommodate many of the
more general problems of interactive verbal communication. The
first chapter introduces situation semantics with the second
addressing the assumptions implied by the problem of representing
speaker intentionality. The third chapter presents a streamlined
theory of speech acts and the fourth tests the predictions of the
theory in several hypothetical discourse situations. A summary and
suggestions for further research is provided in chapter five, and
appendices facilitate reference to key concepts.
