Abstract
The author discusses a field study that investigates the relationship between a linguistic theory called speech act theory (SAT) and automated electronic messages. The results reveal that standards for both electronic data interchange and inter-application communication messages have the structure predicted by SAT. This provides some evidence supporting computerized systems based on SAT. The benefits of such systems are that they would be easier to construct and support than existing systems.
