Abstract
Claire Beyssade & Jean-Marie Marandin undertake to analyze two aspects of speech acts, one pertaining to the Speaker, the other to the Addressee (Speaker's Call on Addressee). The notion of commitment is given a crucial role as they distinguish Speaker's commitment - the content the Speaker endorses - from the commitment the Speaker calls on the Addressee to endorse. They claim that Speaker's commitment and Speaker's Call on Addressee may differ in type or content. Such a claim enables them to reanalyze Indirect speech acts and to set up a unifed framework to sort out the proper contributions of different dimensions of Grammar. The authors illustrate the claim with clause types and a few illocutionary particles (n'est-ce pas, oui ou non, etc.).
