Annotation

Speech acts comprise hierarchically ordered predicates: the illocutionary intention with the speaker and addressee as arguments, sentence mood, higher personal and impersonal predicates. This holds for a speaker-based production model as opposed to an interpretative hearer-based model where predicates are unlimited and unordered.
