Abstract The main tenet of this paper is that human communication is first and foremost a matter of negotiating commitments, rather than one of conveying intentions, beliefs, and other mental states. Every speech act causes the speaker to become committed to the hearer to act on a propositional content. Hence, commitments are relations between speakers, hearers, and propositions. Their purpose is to enable speakers and hearers to coordinate their actions: communication is coordinated action for action coordination. To illustrate the potential of the approach, commitment-based analyses are offered for a representative sample of speech act types, conversational implicatures, as well as for common ground.

作为承诺共享的交流：言语行为，含义，共同点

摘要本文的主要宗旨是，人际沟通首先是谈判承诺的问题，而不是传达意图，信念和其他精神状态的问题。每个言语行为都会使说话者致力于听众对命题内容采取行动。因此，承诺是演讲者，听众和主张之间的关系。他们的目的是使说话者和听众能够协调他们的行动：交流是为了行动协调而采取的协调行动。为了说明这种方法的潜力，针对语音行为类型，会话含义以及共同点的代表性样本提供了基于承诺的分析。
