Abstract

Consideration of the similarity between direct and indirect speech act understanding give rise to the notion that taxonomies of speech acts may not be helpful in modelling language understanding. A computer model which treats representations of direct and indirect speech acts similarly and succesfully has been implemented without any such taxonomy and without an explicit representatlon of the difference between direct and indirect speech acts.
