Overview

This study proposes a new theory of speech acts, Dynamic Speech Act Theory. 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 synthesises traditional speech act theory, conversation analysis, and artificial intelligence research in natural language processing.

Synopsis

This book unites speech act theory and conversation analysis to advance a theory of conversational competence.
