Group speakers

Year: 2019

Type: article

Abstract: This paper examines group speech acts to argue against the view, here called speaker intentionalism , that one is a speaker behind a speech act in virtue of having the relevant communicative illocutionary intention. An alternative view is presented called speaker responsibilism according to which one is a speaker in virtue of having certain responsibilities. Complexities are considered which arise from the kinds of responsibilities the speaker has and the specific ways in which they are acquired.
