I much enjoyed reading this paper: it is admirably lucid, and I am generally in sympathy with the author’s programme of treating communication as a vehicle for action coordination via social commitments. In what follows I offer some suggestions as to how the analysis could be elaborated, as well as indicating some points where I am not quite convinced by the author’s proposals, however much I might like to be.

关于“承诺”概念的一些问题

我非常喜欢阅读这篇论文：它非常清晰，我通常对作者将交流视为通过社会承诺进行行动协调的工具的方案表示同情。在接下来的内容中，我对如何进行分析提出了一些建议，并指出了一些我不太相信作者的建议的要点，无论我多么希望。
