Austinian Themes
This book offers a reconstruction of John L. Austin’s philosophy organized thematically. It explores his works comparing them with one another and comparing the views they express with their elaborations and developments in more recent philosophy. In dealing with speech acts, it relies not only on published work but also on Austin’s manuscript notes. It defends Austin’s speech act theory and his notion of illocution against some main criticisms. …
Is commenting an expositive illocutionary act
The paper outlines an analysis of the act of commenting within the author’s Austin-inspired speech-act theoretical framework. The general lines of that framework are concisely expounded, and it is suggested that the act of commenting should be described as belonging to Austin’s Expositives. The preliminary problem whether the act of commenting is illocutionary at all (given the absence of a performative use of the verb “to comment”) is discussed,…
Linguistic Phenomenology
This chapter examines the statement of philosophical method included in Austin’s paper ‘A Plea for Excuses’. It argues that the research question ‘what we should say when’ is meant to be descriptive as opposed to normative, but language itself has its own normativity which constrains what can be meant by uttering certain words in a certain speech situation. It also argues that the ‘we’ who are agents and objects of Austin’s Ordinary Language Phil…

Argumentation as a dimension of discourse
The aim of this paper is to explore the status of argumentative discourse. We argue that argumentation can contribute to instances of different discourse genres, regardless of whether it is functional to their purposes. By analyzing examples from the daily press in the light of an approach to discourse analysis inspired by pragmatics, we show that also texts that are not expected to be argumentative have underlying argumentative structures and th…
How to read Austin
The goal of this paper is a reassessment of the contributions provided by John L. Austin's book "How to Do Things with Words" to pragmatics. It discusses some assumptions belonging to the received reading of the volume, as regards its aim and structure, the conceptions of illocution and of perlocution, and the alleged exclusion of "non-seriousness". Against the received reading, it is argued that "How to Do Things with Words" is structured as a p…
Evidentiality and illocution
This paper attempts to show that the linguistic or discursive marking of evidentiality plays a role in the performance of illocutionary acts and that its closeness to, and difference from, the attribution of epistemic modality can be explained in the light of an analysis of their respective relations to illocution. A newspaper article, displaying lexical and textual features pertinent to both evidentiality and epistemic modality, is analysed in a…
Pragmatics of Speech Actions
This volume provides extensive critical information about current discussions in the study of speech actions. Its central reference point is classic speech act theory, but attention is also paid to nonstandard developments and other approaches that study speech as action. The first part of the volume deals with main concepts, methodological issues and phenomena common to different kinds of speech action. The second part deals with specific kinds …
Austin on Meaning and Use
Austin rejected the objectification of "meanings" and was also critical of the identification of meaning with truth-conditions. Much of his work appears to be inspired by a conception of meaning as use. In particular, apparently at least, his "performative utterances" are utterances whose understanding amounts to the understanding of their use. But Austin did not endorse the tendency, common in Ordinary Language Philosophy, to explain the meaning…
Illocution and Silencing
Uptake and Conventionality in Illocution
The aim of this paper is to put forward a new way of conceiving of the conventionality of illocutionary acts, grounded in a new look at Austin's original ideas.While the indispensability of uptake has correctly been deemed to be a hallmark of illocution, it has also been taken as evidence of the intention-based nature of illocutionary acts as opposed to their alleged conventionality.After discussing the readings of the "securing of uptake" offere…
Speech Acts Without Propositions?
This paper argues that understanding speech in terms of action requires dispensing with propositions. Austin's outline of speech act theory did not give any role to propositions, which were introduced into speech act theory later on, in order to cope with criticism leveled by Strawson and Searle at Austin's characterization of the locutionary act and his view of the truth/falsity assessment. The introduction of propositions had weakening effects …

Possibilities and Limitations of Pragmatics
This impressive volume attempts to make an assessment of past achievements, but also to open up new perspectives in the field of pragmatics, exactly ten years after the publication of Searle’s seminal Speech Acts . This rich collection presents an unrivaled diversity of topics and approaches united by the possibilities and limitations generic to the field of pragmatics.
