Based on a discussion of language crimes, illegal speech acts and the question of intent, I propose a list of felicity conditions for threats that account for their primary purpose as attempts to intimidate a victim. Examples for discussion are taken from a data set of indirect, written threats extracted from verdicts by Danish higher courts. Contrary to previous claims, it is shown that it is not only possible but linguistically quite straightforward to analyze even indirectly phrased messages as instances of threats.","PeriodicalId":347827,"journal":{"name":"The Sign of the V: Papers in Honour of Sten Vikner","volume":"101 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114856458","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is, for instance, the analysis proposed for Icelandic modals by Thráinsson & Vikner (1995). In this paper it is argued that the control analysis of root modals is appropriate for the so-called subject-oriented readings of root modals but probably not for non-subject-oriented readings.","PeriodicalId":347827,"journal":{"name":"The Sign of the V: Papers in Honour of Sten Vikner","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130579069","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The two approaches are anchored in different traditions, are based on different theoretical premises, and have different objectives. Truth-conditional semantics is based on a philosophical tradition with strong relations to logic, while functional semantics is based on a linguistic tradition with borrowings from evolutionary biology (and also from speech acts philosophy). We argue that an integrated picture that accommodates both approaches can be achieved by a mutual recognition of the different aims as well as of a central area in which the different aims give rise to compatible insights about linguistic meaning.","PeriodicalId":347827,"journal":{"name":"The Sign of the V: Papers in Honour of Sten Vikner","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122384123","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Grammaticality is discrete; acceptability is gradient. Acceptability can be measured directly; grammaticality can only be tested indirectly. Acceptability is a refl ex of performance factors interacting with the mentally represented grammatical rule system; grammaticality is a theoretical concept. Acceptability is a theory-independent behavioral property; grammaticality is defi ned by the cognitively encapsulated grammar, which is the empirical research target of grammar theory.","PeriodicalId":347827,"journal":{"name":"The Sign of the V: Papers in Honour of Sten Vikner","volume":"63 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133778913","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
