This paper stems from a confrontation between speech act theory and interactionist sociology. Its aim is to clarify the theoretical framework of recent research on verbal interaction with reference to a larger framework of a philosophical and […] includes the following proposals: (i) a distinction between a one-place model and a two-place model of the speech act; (ii) a linking of the one-place model with the structural-functional analysis of social behavior; (iii) a linking of the two-place model with the interactionist analysis of social behavior; (iv) some arguments in favor of adopting an interactionist perspective in pragmatics. In particular, this perspective is shown to involve such notions as strategic interaction, retroactivity of presuppositions, self-modification of the participants’ “selves”, and context change, all of which are relevant to social change.
