Kissine provides good reasons to put aside widely accepted Gricean accounts in terms of complex intentions, in part based on up-to-date empirical data. He provides an alternative account, on which speech acts constitutively express reasons (to believe or to act), and develops detailed illustrative accounts of constative, directive and commissive speech acts - paradigmatically including, respectively, assertions, orders and promises. Kissine convincingly argues that his account is compatible with the empirical results that prove problematic for Gricean views, and in general with a naturalistic stance … includes many original conceptual proposals … Many of the book's proposals deserve to be taken up and examined further much more in depth by interested researchers. I believe the book will thus deeply influence the course of forthcoming research on its topics.'

Surprisingly, the cognitive correlates of this essential component of human communication have received little attention. This book fills the gap by providing a model of the psychological processes involved in interpreting and understanding speech acts. The theory is framed in naturalistic terms and is supported by data on language development and on autism spectrum disorders. Mikhail Kissine does not presuppose any specific background and addresses a crucial pragmatic phenomenon from an interdisciplinary perspective. This is a valuable resource for academic researchers and graduate and undergraduate students in pragmatics, semantics, cognitive linguistics, psycholinguistics and philosophy of language.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e 1.
