THE CONTRACT GAME

The paper discusses that one can analyze speech act types in terms of their roles in a contract concluding process (in the paper referred to as „the Contract Game"). First, some fundamental types of speech acts, such as assertions, requests, promises, and questions, are discussed from this point of view, then, an attempt is made to explain the essential properties of some special kinds of utterances, viz. explicit performatives, fiats, and imperative conditionals.
