Pragmatics has made a Copernican shift from Gricean intentional approaches to normative approaches based in commitments. This has been good news for assertions, and questions of several stripes, but we still don’t know whether the commitment approach can be extended to expressive speech acts in general, and exclamations in particular. In this article, I will show that an approach to exclamations based on commitments at different levels of meaning, namely, the descriptive and expressive level, can be devised and it can offer interesting answers to old issues, like the contribution of exclamations to discourse, or their at-issue status, while raising new theoretical and empirical questions on lying and deceiving and commitment strength.

表达承诺

语用学已经实现了哥白尼式的转变，从格莱斯的意向方法转向基于承诺的规范方法。这对于断言和各种问题来说是个好消息，但我们仍然不知道承诺方法是否可以扩展到一般的表达性言语行为，特别是感叹词。在这篇文章中，我将展示一种基于不同意义层面（即描述性和表达性层面）的承诺的感叹方法是可以设计的，它可以为老问题提供有趣的答案，比如感叹对话语的贡献，或他们的争议地位，同时提出关于撒谎和欺骗以及承诺强度的新理论和实证问题。
