Abstract: Usual plan-based approaches to speech act interpretation require that performing a speech act implies its success. These approaches are thus useless for describing failing illocutionary or perlocutionary acts. We propose an alternative plan-based view of speech acts centered around the notion of trying to do - as opposed to actually doing - an action. This approach is contrasted with that of Perrault which aims to overcome similar problems.
