Locutionary and perlocutionary cooperation: The perlocutionary cooperative principle

Salvatore Attardo

Journal of Pragmatics 27 (1997)

Abstract

This paper presents an argument for distinguishing between locutionary and perlocutionary cooperation, applying to linguistic and extra-linguistic goals, respectively. A principle governing perlocutionary cooperation is proposed and arguments for its usefulness and presented. A brief review of studies in Artificial Intelligence, Cognitive Science and Pragmatics shows some similarities between this proposal and goal-oriented approaches.
