Speech Acts: Discursive, Multimodal and Diachronic (Elements in Pragmatics)

By Andreas H. Jucker

This Element outlines issues in the study of speech acts. Discursive approaches shift the focus to interaction and interactional sequences. Multimodal approaches show that the speech act needs to be extended to cover the multimodality of communicative acts. Diachronic approaches focus on the historicity of speech acts.
