We introduce two knowledge structures , namely games and contracts , which are used together with themes by the mental processes underlying perlocutionary acts . We present our model through the discussion of a paradigmatic example ; in particular we focus on the problem of shifting from the wants of th e actor to the wants of the partner. Our analysis is developed at different levels of detail through the identification of CAUSE - TO -WANT , CONVINCE and REQUEST actions . Eventually , we discuss some theoretical implications of our approach to perlocution.","doi":null,"url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1983/20","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1983/0020.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1983/20.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1983/bibtex/20","volume":{"slug":"1983","title":"Proceedings of the Eighth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence","short_title":"IJCAI 1983","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1983/","year":1983,"location":"Karlsruhe, West Germany","dates":"","editors":"Alan Bundy","isbn":"","publisher":"International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence","doi_prefix":""},"section":"Cognitive Modelling","track":"Cognitive Modelling","number":20,"pages":{"first":78,"last":79},"keywords":[],"videos":[],"references":[],"license_note":"Copyright International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence."}
