Sentence type, illocutionary act, perlocutionary effect. Two-layered dynamic pragmasemantics as a development of the classical illocutionary logics

Abstract
The paper follows two intertwined threads of thoughts, as suggested by its double title. One thread starts from an overview of the nature of illocutionary acts and their relation to sentence types. In the former area Searle’s functionalist/psychologist approach is considered (illocutionary point/force, perlocutionary effect, direction of fit between worlds and words, psychological states expressed). As for the latter area, in the literature, the classification of sentence types and pragmatic categories have been formulated based on language-typological and logical-semantics criteria; in these approaches, linguistic forms serve as the basis for system architecture. The other thread concerns the presentation of a framework called ℜeALIS, which can be characterized by its roots in the formal (pragma-)semantics tradition but its extendibility to a lifelong mind representation based on its dynamic character. The two threads will meet when claiming that ℜeALIS can plausibly integrate the results of the psychologist/functionalist approach while accounting for the inadequate relation between the functionalist system of speech act types and the formalist system of (traditional) sentence types.
