SUMMARY:10th session
DESCRIPTION:There is a lively debate in philosophy of language about the de
 termination of the illocutionary force of speech acts. The debate revolves
  around the notion of uptake and the role played by the audience: many sch
 olars consider the hearer&rsquo\;s recognition of the force of the locutio
 n a necessary condition for the performance of an illocution. A variety of
  theories has been put forward. According to Langton 1993\, the hearer&rsq
 uo\;s uptake determines whether a successful act has been performed. Accor
 ding to Kukla 2014\, the hearer&rsquo\;s uptake constitutes the nature of 
 the act performed. According to McDonald forth.\, the illocutionary force 
 of a speech act is the result of a process of negotiation between hearer a
 nd speaker. Drawing on the theoretical tools provided by Marina Sbis&agrav
 e\;&rsquo\;s work\, I will show how the theories giving the audience a cen
 tral role in fixing the illocutionary force of a speech act fall short. Th
 e topic proves relevant not only for theoretical reasons\, but also for so
 cial and political ones. In particular\, it has a bearing on debates about
  pragmatic phenomena of illocutionary distortion such as discursive injust
 ice and silencing\, where marginalized speakers have trouble performing pa
 rticular speech acts they are entitled to perform.Claudia Bianchi\, "Varie
