Zeevat on Speech Act Markers

Henk Zeevat (2003) The Syntax Semantics Interface of Speech Act Markers. In Proceedings Diabruck, 7th Workshop on the Semantics and the Pragmatics of Dialogue, Wallerfangen.

The paper proposes a semantics for speech acts as a generalisation of update semantics and an account of the meaning of speech act markers where they are default resetting devices. The speech act marker works on specific parameters of a given speech act and defines new valus for them.
