Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract Speech act theory is a theory of language initially proposed by the analytic philosopher John Langshaw Austin. In his posthumously published book How to do Things with Words , Austin explores the various ways by which people do things with words, which leads him to come up with a first opposition between constative and performative utterances. Austin then discards this opposition in favor of the distinction between locutionary acts (the act of uttering words), illocutionary acts (what we do in saying something) and perlocutionary acts (what we do by saying something). This theory was taken up, among others, by one of his students, John R. Searle as well as Jacques Derrida.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
