Résumé :

This chapter is devoted to major theoretical questions surrounding non-assertion speechacts. First is addressed the distinction between institutional and non-institutional speechacts. Then, directives, questions, expressives, and commissives are discussed in turn.Each of these classes of speech acts raise specific issues, which are separately discussed.For instance, it is important to determine the exact relationship questions bear, on theone hand, to directives and, on the other hand, to assertions. It is equally important tounderstand whether some expressives and commissive should be thought in naturalisticterms and how they relate to other types of speech acts. The extent to which definitionsdirectives should make reference to desire expression is also discussed. That said, thestudy of non-assertion speech acts is also threaded with several common themes, such asthe tension between normative and intentionality approaches, and the impact of non-assertion speech acts on theories of assertion.
