Abstract: Abstract The author of the Essays that are republished here has worked on speech acts and other topics in pragmatics taking as her point of departure John L. Austin’s philosophy of language. The main focus of the volume is on illocution, including issues such as illocutionary act classification, the role of the hearer’s uptake and the interlocutor’s responses, the accommodation of speaker-related preconditions, and the relationship of illocution with knowledge and power. Austin’s way of distinguishing classes of illocutionary acts is defended and is shown to be useful in the analysis of discourse and conversation. The illocutionary act is described as bringing about effects on the deontic aspects of the relationship among the participants: such effects are defeasible, and conventional too, since their coming into being depends on the participants’ agreement. This agreement, in many informal situations at least, is made manifest by the response of the addressee or other participant to the speaker’s utterance and may be implicitly negotiated in conversation. Particular attention is paid to Verdictives and Exercitives. The collection also touches upon presupposition (considered in its communicative and persuasive functions), implicature and other aspects of Paul Grice’s philosophy, and philosophical approaches to gender issues, always in the light of the author’s view of speech as action.

Abstract
The author of the Essays that are republished here has worked on speech acts and other topics in pragmatics taking as her point of departure John L. Austin’s philosophy of language. The main focus of the volume is on illocution, including issues such as illocutionary act classification, the role of the hearer’s uptake and the interlocutor’s responses, the accommodation of speaker-related preconditions, and the relationship of illocution with knowledge and power. Austin’s way of distinguishing classes of illocutionary acts is defended and is shown to be useful in the analysis of discourse and conversation. The illocutionary act is described as bringing about effects on the deontic aspects of the relationship among the participants: such effects are defeasible, and conventional too, since their coming into being depends on the participants’ agreement. This agreement, in many informal situations at least, is made manifest by the response of the addressee or other participant to the speaker’s utterance and may be implicitly negotiated in conversation. Particular attention is paid to Verdictives and Exercitives. The collection also touches upon presupposition (considered in its communicative and persuasive functions), implicature and other aspects of Paul Grice’s philosophy, and philosophical approaches to gender issues, always in the light of the author’s view of speech as action.
