Abstract

This paper presents the core of a descriptive theory of indirect speech acts, i.e. utterances in which one speech act form is used to realize another, different, speech act. The proposed characterization of indirect speech acts is based on principles of goal formation, viewed in the context of a general structural model of action. The model of action is used to develop rules that characterize a large number of indirect speech act forms. Computational implications of the theory are discussed.
