Illocution and understanding

Received 26 Apr 2019, Accepted 30 Aug 2019, Published online: 17 Sep 2019
 

ABSTRACT

What are the connections between the successful performance of illocutionary acts and audience understanding or uptake of their performance? According to one class of proposals, audience understanding suffices for successful performance. I explain how those proposals emerge from earlier work and seek to clarify some of their interrelations.

Acknowledgement
