Annotation
F. gives a description of some types of reactive speech acts like 'inquiring', 'evading', 'rejecting' and so on, which a speaker performs if he is not (yet) able or willing to react in a 'specific' way, e.g. if he does not want to answer a question or to say that he refuses to answer it.
