Speech Act Comprehension

Speech Act Comprehension is the cognitive process within pragmatic processing whereby a listener identifies the speaker's intended illocutionary force—such as assertion, request, or apology—from an utterance in context, distinguishing it from mere syntactic or semantic decoding by focusing on the functional and intentional aspects of speaker meaning.
