“…According to Merriam Webster dictionary (2016) order is a statement made by a person with authority that tells someone to do something, an instruction or direction that must be obeyed. In addition, Kaufmann (2012) (Friday Sermon 27 May 2016) 3) Request According to Leech (1990) request means that speakers wish the hearers do something. In addition, Merriam Webster states that request is an act of politely or formally asking for something.…”

“…Speaker's intentions, and speaker's verdicts, and institutional facts and social preference orders may all come into play. (See, e.g., Searle 1989;Condoravdi & Lauer 2011;Eckardt 2012;Kaufmann 2012. ) 42 It is certainly not inconvenient that we do not even need to decide the issue what a promise 'really' is, in order to make the present point.…”

This paper presents a proof system for discourse representation theoretic reasoning and dynamic predicate logical inference. It gives a sound and complete characterization of the dynamic declaration of discourse referents and the essentially indexical means to refer back to them. The indexical outlook upon discourse reference is argued to further our understanding of some issues deemed relevant both theoretically (philo-logically) and practically (computationally).

“…The semantic analysis of Truckenbrodt does not make use of Davidsonian event arguments and hence falls short of explicating self-referentiality, the backbone of Jary's and Searle's analysis. Kaufmann (f. Schwager) elaborates a modal analysis for sentences in the imperative mood in her dissertation (Schwager 2006;Kaufmann 2011) as well as subsequent papers. She assumes that imperative mood introduces the skeleton of modal necessity statements.…”

Several authors propose that performative speech acts are self-guaranteeing due to their self-referential nature (Searle 1989;Jary 2007). The present paper offers an analysis of self-referentiality in terms of truth conditional semantics, making use of Davidsonian events. I propose that hereby can denote the ongoing act of information transfer (more mundanely, the utterance) which thereby enters the meaning of the sentence. The analysis will be extended to cover self-referential sentences without the adverb hereby. While self-referentiality can be integrated in ordinary truth conditional semantic analysis without being a mystery, the resulting account shows that self-referentiality in this sense is a necessary but not a sufficient condition for performative utterances. I propose that the second ingredient of performative utterances consists in an act of the speaker defining her utterance to be an act of the respective kind. The final theory can successfully predict the performativity, or lack thereof, of a wide range of performative sentences, and leads to an explicated interface between compositional sentence meaning and speech act.
