Assertions belong to the family of speech acts that make claims
regarding how things are. They include statements, avowals,
reports, expressed judgments, and testimonies - acts which are
relevant across a host of issues not only in philosophy of language
and linguistics but also in subdisciplines such as epistemology,
metaphysics, philosophy of mind, ethics, and social and political
philosophy. Over the past two decades, the amount of scholarship
investigating the speech act of assertion has increased
dramatically, and the scope of such research has also grown. The
Oxford Handbook of Assertion explores various dimensions of the act
of assertion: its nature; its place in a theory of speech acts, and
in semantics and meta-semantics; its role in epistemology; and the
various social, political, and ethical dimensions of the act.
Essays from leading theorists situate assertion in relation to
other types of speech acts, exploring the connection between
assertions and other phenomena of interest not only to philosophers
but also to linguists, psychologists, anthropologists, lawyers,
computer scientists, and theorists from communication studies.
