In the course of conversation, we exert implicit pressures on both
ourselves and others. These forms of conversational pressure are
many and far from uniform, so much so that it is unclear whether
they constitute a single cohesive class. In this book Sanford C.
Goldberg explores the source, nature, and scope of the normative
expectations we have of one another as we engage in conversation
that are generated by the performance of speech acts themselves. In
doing so he examines two fundamental types of expectation -
epistemic and interpersonal. It is through normative expectations
of these types that we aim to hold one another to standards of
proper conversational conduct. This line of argument is pursued in
connection with such topics as the normative significance of acts
of address, the epistemic costs of politeness, the bearing of
epistemic injustice on the epistemology of testimony, the normative
pressure friendship exerts on belief, the nature of epistemic
trust, the significance of conversational silence, and the various
evils of silencing. By approaching these matters in terms of the
normative expectations to which conversational participants are
entitled, Goldberg aims to offer a unified account of the various
pressures that are exerted in the course of a speech exchange.
