Speech acts

Hi Louie, I reformulated the dutch and italian versions. See if you can agree with them now. Cheers! Cat 07:27, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

Well, Reinach's theory cannot be reduced to a simple account of performative social acts. It is quite more sophisticated than that and sucha label would just be misleading. If you examine Reinach's work (or secondary luterature on it) you'll see that in effect his position is on the same level as that of Searle or Austin. So even though he called his a theory of "social acts" and embedded it in a context of law and ethics, it is a full-fledged account of what we now would call "speech acts" Cat 15:26, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi there. This is matter of some interest to me; so my request is much more oriented to seeking additional information than it is to commenting on your contribution. It seems that you are responsible for the entry that states that treament of speech acts "may be found in the works of some church fathers and scholastic philosophers" and, also, "in the context of sacramental theology". I am really interested if you are able to provide any primary source "chapter and verse" occasions where this is so; i.e., rather than just an allusion to a broad, unsupported assertion that might have been made elsewhere.

Hello, Lindsay. I'm still on a Wikibreak but I take notice of your request, and I'll try to select some useful sources. Sorry for the delay. Louie 02:50, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your assistance in due course; it is much appreciated. Lindsay658 05:37, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the reference. I have had a brief look at the first two pages of the article (at [1] and it seems to be what I am looking for. (He speaks of the extent to which what we now call "speech acts" were significant in discussions on whether or not a legitimate marriage or baptism had been performed). Anyway, I will get the entire article and read it. Thank you for you contribution to my studies.Lindsay658 23:46, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

OpenDocument

Hi, I hope I didn't seem too negative regarding the OpenDocument articles. It looks like you are trying to do some much-needed cleanup, and I appreciate it. Wmahan. 19:30, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

OpenDocument

Just curious but redirects are cheap, why not just leave them as that? If they are deleted then someone may recreate them as articles because they don't see the proper name. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 18:13, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

I see your point. Well, leave them, OK! Louie 18:25, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

I've been informed you're working on a dissertation[!]

Having gone through a few scholastic/academic periods of extreme work (And the impression of extremely barely putting out the required amount and quality of work), including right now [!], I hope you get away with whatever your dissertation or required production is ;D! 68.39.174.238 05:38, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
