REVIEW OF MY WORK 6 One can find good reviews of my work in many Journals: Dialogue, Mathematical Reviews, la Revue de Métaphysique et de Morale, Linguistische Berichte, la Revue des Sciences philologiques (de Moscou), Computational Linguistics, TTR, Philosophiques, Archiv fuer Grundlagen der Mathematik, la Revue québecoise de linguistique, Journal of Pragmatics, Revue internationale de philosophie, Semiotica and collective books. See in particular Cocchiarella's chapter "Formally Oriented Work in the Philosophy of Language" in The Philosophy of Meaning, Knowledge and Value in the 20th Century, Volume X of Routledge History of Philosophy. (His last section is devoted to my contributions in illocutionary logic and universal grammar.) See also A. Kronfeld's review of Meaning and speech acts in Computational Linguistics 19, no. 2, 1993 and Zaefferer's paper on my my formal semantics "Wo Montague eine klaffende Lucke liesst. Zur bislang umfassendsten Ausarbeitung einer Sprechaktsemantik", Linguistiche Berichte, 150, 1994. Here are quotations of some reviews or replies: - L. Bolc made a review of Foundations of Illocutionary Logic in the Journal of Computational Linguistics , Vol 14, no 2, 1988. According to him, "This book is one of the more interesting recent publications on the application of logic in natural language description. Reading it will inspire further research on the logical structure of natural language and is highly recommended". (p 75) - Francis Jacques has devoted to Foundations of Illocutionary Logic a paper « La parole-acte Des actes de langage à la logique illocutoire » in no 1 of la Revue de Métaphysique et de Morale, p 129-137, 1988. His first sentence: « La réflexion contemporaine sur le langage doit tenir compte d’un acquis qui semble défifitif. » (p 129) Farther : « En 1985, lorsque les deux auteurs présentent les bases de la première logique formalisée des actes de langage, on a le sentiment que le fossé qui subsista longtemps entre les philosophes-logiciens et les philosophes dits de la langue ordinaire, tend à se combler substantiellement. En quoi leur livre fait événement. » (p 130) - N. Cocchiarella has devoted to my work in logic and universal grammar the last section of his chapter Formally Oriented Work in the Philosophy of Language in Volume X The Philosophy of Meaning, Knowledge and Value in the 20th Century of the Routledge History of Philosophy. His conclusion: "In any case, the notion of a lingua philosophica as an ideal language containing both an intensional and illocutionary logic is no longer merely a program but has already in many respects been realized" (p 72). -D. Zaefferer and E. Rolf made critical reviews of my formal semantics respectively in Linguistiche Berichte, 150, p 147-72, 1994 et le no 3-4 de Semiotica, Volume 104, p 277-85, 1995. Zaetterer's title "Wo Montague eine klaffende Lucke liess. Zur Bislang umfassendsten Ausarbeitung einer Sprechaktsemantik" means "Where Montague left a big fault. About the until now most extended elaboration of Speech Acts Semantics". Rolf's conclusion: "Vanderveken's Meaning and Speech Acts will (or should) become a standard work; it has to be taken as a basis for further enquiries by any one who is concerned with speech act theory. But since speech acts are really the primary units of meaning, anyone who is engaged in studying the meaning(s) of natural language sentences should take notice of the analyses Vanderveken has provided". -For the importance of illocutionary logic in Artificial Intelligence, see A. Kronfeld's Review of Meaning & speech acts in Computational Linguistics, Vol 19, no 2, p 385-89, 1993."This is a very impressive work from a mathematical point of view. Can his formal work be used in A.I. and computational linguistics? I think so. Searle's and Grice's work on speech act theory, communication intentions, and implicatures was immediately recognized by computational linguists as important and relevant to the field, especially when their approach is combined with the formalization of another cognitive aspect of human activity, namely planning... Well, Vanderveken offers a formal system that, in terms of its ability to capture concepts of communication, is far richer than anything we have seen so far. It would be a waste not to try to use it." La conclusion finale de Kronfeld est la suivante: "This is not an easy book to read. The second volume especially is not for the faint heart. If you have only a general interest in speech act theory, you are better off reading Searle (although Chapter 4 of Volume I is a nice summary of the central concepts of the theory). If, on the other hand, you are a hard core scientist with a solid background in mathematical logic, looking for new frontiers in your attempt to construct computational models of speech acts and computation, this is the book for you. It takes the basic insights of speech act theory and casts them in a way that may have potential for significant computational developments."(p 389) See also G. Sabbah's Review in the Bulletin de l'Association française pour l'Intelligence Artificielle: 7 "... c'est à ma connaissance un des travaux les plus achevés qui visent une formalisation des aspects sémantiques et pragmatiques. Il dépasse singulièrement les sémantiques usuellement utilisées en IA pour aborder le sens profond et le traitement des intentions communicatives, grâce à une approche ayant des bases formelles solides rarement rencontrées par le passé." AFIA no 28, 1997. - John Searle has made an elogious reply « Expanding the Speech Act Taxonomy to Discourse Reply to Vanderveken” to my paper « Illocutionary Logic and the Theory of Discourse: “Some years ago I expressed skepticism about the possibility of a systematic theory of conversation comparable to the systematic theory of speech acts that I and others have attempted to construct. (See On Searle on Conversation by John Searle et al, John Benjamin, Amsterdam and Philadelphia, 1992) I think Daniel Vanderveken is correct in regarding the argument there as a challenge to produce an adequate theory of conversation, and it seems to me that he is well on his way to meeting the challenge. In the case of speech acts, I had a well-developed theory of speech acts before I could attempt to do a serious taxonomy. What Vanderveken has done is take some elements of the theory together with some further developments that he and I worked out jointly in our book. Foundations of Illocutionary Logic by Searle and Vanderveken, Cambridge University Press, 1985. I find the result fascinating and fruitful, and I hope he will continue to develop it in the years to come…” forthcoming in the next issue on Searle of la Revue internationale de philosophie. F.
