Popis: Despite the considerable amount of research devoted to speech act theory, relatively little attention has been paid to the cognitive foundations underlying different speech act classes. This article addresses this gap by introducing a framework of cognitive dimensions associated with the performance of expressives, directives and assertions. Drawing on empirical data, we argue that each class requires distinct cognitive capacities related to acquisition, intention-involvement, intersubjectivity, involvement, detachment, cooperation and natural meaning. In addition, we propose a set of pragmatic criteria that can be used to structure rudimentary instances of speech acts in both primates and human infants.
