Summary
Chapter 6 presents a key component of this interactional grammar: illocutionary acts. In this grammar, we use the expressions ‘illocutionary act’ and ‘speech act’ interchangeably. The chapter provides a systematic and replicable interactional typology of illocutionary acts. This typology is particularly suitable for analysing discourse and understanding the role of illocutionary acts in any types of data and any language.
