Abstract:

The current study is focusing on the analysis of promise as a speech act from a pragmatic and stylistic point of view, in correlation with Austin's speech act theory, specifically based on the instances of promises from the screenplays of Satyajit Ray’s three greatest masterpieces - his debut film, “Pather Panchali”, “Apur Sansar”, which is the third and last instalment of “Apu Trilogy:, and "Devi". All these three films have several promise speech acts present in the film, uttered by different characters in different situations, but the role of these promises is important also from linguistic

Abstract:

The possibility of promising requires a determined obligation that distinguishes breaking a promise from merely failing to keep it, thus enabling both parties to know what the promise entails. In addition, a recognizable commitment must bind the promiser and justify the promisee’s reliance. It is widely accepted that fulfilling these functions requires a rule of promises – either a convention or a moral principle. The paper criticizes this common view and presents an alternative. I introduce the concept ‘quamise’. Quamises are particular expressions of intentions to act, made within personal r

Abstract:

The speech act of promise can be accompanied by two other speech acts: encouragement and pledge. Moreover, since the main features of performative verbs, i.e. “I, you, here and now”, are present in promises, promise is also regarded as a performative act. In political promises, given the objectives of the discourse as well as the personal traits of the speaker, Most of political promises serve merely as advertising goals and are not intended to be fulfilled. The maxim of relevance is generally heeded in political promises and the violation of this maxim before elections is fairly r

The legal nature of promises of state bodies has not become a subject of discussion in the theory and philosophy of Soviet and Post-Soviet Law.

Moreover, positive legal provisions on the promise of an administrative act exist in Germany.

Abstract:

The paper indicates the importance of publicly spoken word by politicians whose responsiability is greater than the responsiability of ordinary citizens, due to the nature of the work they do. Using examples of the speech acts of promising in the field of politics, the author tries to show when such an act might be considered unethical. This could be the case when promising is used out of habit or without serious intention to fulfill the promise (like, for example, in election campaigns). In those cases, the speech act of promising lacks ?seriousness? and might be considered unethical for seve

I suggest that promises and threats are similar speech acts and pose analogous problems for Speech Act Theory.

I conclude that the joint analysis of promises and threats suggests the propriety of a holistic theory of illocutionary acts.

Libertarians hold that free action and moral responsibility are incompatible with determinism and that some human beings occasionally act freely and are morally responsible for some of what they do. Can libertarians who know both that they are right and that they are free make sincere promises?

Probably, this strikes many readers as a surprising thesis for a libertarian to hold. In light of van Inwagen's holding it, the title of his essay—‘

There was no such penalty when the word “promise” was used to refer to an implied threat. On a later measure of processing we again found a reading time penalty when the word “threat” was used to refer to a promise, but also when the word “promise” was used to refer to a threat.

When tribunals close their doors to ag-grieved investors, tribunals increase the risks for investors and thus raise the cost of international investment. At the same time,

Abstract:

The aim of this article is to read efforts in Christian churches and theological education alike to engage in innovation in light of the theological narratives of Luke-Acts. Such a theologically inflected notion of innovation contends that innovation is the faithful act of catching up to God’s previous acts of grace while leaning in trust into the future fulfillments of God’s ancient promises. That is, innovation is not merely an act of human creativity but even more a trust that the path before us mirrors and transforms our sense of who God has been, is, and will be among us. Such an approach

Abstract:

Hannah Arendt expresses several critiques of the Western philosophical tradition in her work due to conceptual misunderstandings that played a crucial role in the course of many events in our history. This article attempts to understand how concepts such as power, freedom, and sovereignty appear in Arendt's thinking and shed light on our understanding of politics. Thinking about the relationship between these elements allows us to understand that there are other possibilities for politics besides representative democracies. It is about seeking the centrality of politics as an exercise of freed

Abstract:

The primary goal of the SarbanesOxley Act was to fix auditing of U.S. public companies, consistent with its full, official name: the Public Company Accounting Reform and Investor Protection Act of 2002. By consensus, auditing had been working poorly, and increasingly so. The most important, and most promising, part of SarbanesOxley was the creation of a unique, quasi-public institution to oversee and regulate auditing, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB). In controversial section 404, the law also created new disclosure-based incentives for firms to spend money on internal co

Abstract:

Considering marriage a primary institution through which norms are transmitted, the authors examine the ways in which entrance into heteronormative respectability is differently available to transgender-cisgender couples and lesbian couples who marry in South Africa. Through qualitative work with transgender-cisgender and lesbian couples, the authors conclude that though marriage through the Marriage Act should speak for itself, admission to heteronormativity requires a labor of doing heterosexuality, conditioned, for the couples represented here, upon a denial of the transgender person’s tran

Abstract:

In Act I, Faith and Klaus had it out regarding whether their deity of choice – God and Santa respectively – exists. Although Klaus was unable to convince Faith, Klaus suggested that Krampus, his ‘Santa pastor’ (the guy who owns the mall where he buys his Christmas presents), will set Faith straight. We join the dialogue, once again, as Faith is about to first meet Krampus, who promises to provide us with more sophisticated arguments in favor of Santa Claus.

Abstract:

A public promise of reward occurs when an individual publicly promises a reward to an unspecified number of people, achieving a certain outcome. Nevertheless, further discussion is limited without considering the applicable law. Legislators address in different ways the arousal of promisor’s obligation, its nature, and the mechanisms of protection for the performer’s interests. The cause of these drastic differences lies in the legislator’s (dis)approval of a unilateral declaration of intent as a source of obligation. If it is acknowledged that a unilateral declaration of intent can obligate t

Abstract:

AbstractThe definition of consideration in Section 2(d) of the Indian Contract Act 1872 substantially anticipated the far-reaching reforms to the orthodox doctrine of consideration that were proposed by the English Law Revision Committee (1937). These included making enforceable, through the doctrine of promissory estoppel, promises without consideration in the traditional sense that were meant to and did induce reliance; making enforceable a promise to perform a pre-existing duty; and making binding a promise to keep an offer open. The pivots of the definition in Section 2(d) were: a ‘subject
