Abstract

An attempt is made to analyze interactive social behavior in terms of communicative acts. The basic assumption is, . . . "that communication among humans performs the essential function of enabling two or more individuals to maintain simultaneous orientation toward one another as communicators and toward objects of communication." A rationale for this assumption is presented and then a set of propositions derived from and consistent with it are shown to be supported by much existing empirical evidence.
