Annotation

This study proposes a new manner of apprehending illocutionary acts' conventionality, based on a new approach of Austin's original ideas. It is claimed that illocutionary acts are conventional given their conventional effects and that the generation of these effects is related to the essential prerequisite of comprehension.
