This book unites speech act theory and conversation analysis to
advance a theory of conversational competence. It is predicated on
the assumption that speech act theory, if it is to be of genuine
empirical and theoretical significance, must be embedded within a
general theory of conversational competence capable of accounting
for how we do things with words in naturally occurring
conversation, and it can usefully be seen as a synthesis of
traditional speech act theory, conversation analysis, and
artificial intelligence research in natural language processing.
Michael L. Geis analyses a variety of naturally occurring
conversations, presenting them within a framework of computational
interest and within discourse representation theory. In particular,
he offers an explicit mapping of semantic and pragmatic (i.e.
speech-act-theoretic) meaning features and politeness features into
so-called conventionalized indirect speech act forms.
