Annotation

In a first part, L. and H. theorize about the concept of a speech act plan, which part of it may be executed by a speaker in a conversational setting, and how. In the second part, two experiments are described, investigating the conditions responsible for variation in the directness of requests; their results are put in a theoretical light.
