Abstract:

Assertion - the act of presenting what we say as true - is at the centre of human 
social life. Yet what might seem a relatively simple phenomenon has proved 
difficult to define or characterise successfully. Is assertion just another speech 
act, on a par with promising, ordering and the like, or is it more fundamental? 
How is assertion related to belief? Does the declarative mood have a special 
role to play in the correct analysis of assertion or can assertion be characterised 
independently of linguistic form? What is the relationship between what a 
speaker asserts and her main point? All these questions are addressed in this 
book as the author develops a novel account of the pragmatic processes 
involved in assertion and the role of the declarative mood in those processes. In 
doing so, he synthesises a range of perspectives on assertion, drawing on the 
work of philosophers, linguists and cognitive scientists.
