Resumen
THOMPSON, J. Robert. Speech Acts And Sub-Sentential Speech. Crítica (Méx., D.F.) [online]. 2011, vol.43, n.129, pp.65-91. Epub 12-Mayo-2020. ISSN 0011-1503. https://doi.org/10.22201/iifs.18704905e.2011.789.
In this paper, I compile some reasons for resisting Stainton's (2006) analysis of sub-sentential speech. My resistance stems from considerations about the intentions and expectations of those who communicate using sub-sentential speech. I challenge Stainton's reasons for thinking that some sub-sentential utterances have the status of full-fledged speech acts and argue that they turn out to be degenerate speech acts. After offering my own analysis of sub-sentential speech, I recommend that by revisiting the divide and conquer strategy Stainton dismisses for handling the alleged cases of genuine sub-sentential speech, we can resist radical forms of contextualism suggested by his analysis.
