Linguaggio ragione interazione. Per una pragmatica degli atti linguistici

Abstract
The approach to speech act theory proposed by this volume relies on J.L. Austin’s original insights and distances itself from the subsequent contributions due to Searle or Bach and Harnish. It emphasizes that speech acts are actions and attempts to show that their study can be of use in the analysis of texts and conversations.
Illocution is defined as the production of an effect on the deontic-modal aspects of an interpersonal relation, to be achieved thanks to the participants’ intersubjective agreement. Illocutionary types (derived from Austin’s classification) are applied to examples from ordinary texts and conversations. In order to deal with speech act sequences, a methodology inspired by narrative semiotics is proposed. The central role that is usually granted to the speaking and acting subject is reconsidered in the light of the indispensability of its intersubjective recognition
