Review
"The work of Bach and Harnish represents an able attempt by a philosopher and a linguist respectively to restore some sorely needed naturalistic assumptions to the study of linguistic communication. Their book is divided into three parts. The first seven chapters define their 'theory' which they call the 'speech act schema' (SAS). The next three chapters raise various issues from the philosophical and linguistic literature which pertain to SAS. The last chapter and the appendix offer an integration of SAS with some psychological experimentation on linguistic production, comprehension, and concepts of sociology.... The nonspecialist in the philosophy of language and linguistic pragmatics will find this book challenging ... an extremely important contribution to the literature on speech acts."
- Quarterly Journal of Speech
"Since the book contains so much that is original and insightful into the analysis of speech acts and linguistic communication, it will be at the center of interesting research and controversy for many years to come."
- Contemporary Psychology
