· The acknowledged classic on speech-act theory following Austin is
Searle (1969). But considerably better is Searle (1979a), a collection of
essays. See also Travis (1975) and Holdcroft (1978).
· Two excellent works (in addition to Schiffer (1972)) that connect
speech-act theory to other issues in pragmatics and to current
research in linguistics and psychology are Bach and Harnish (1979)
and Gazdar (1979). See also Cole and Morgan (1975), Levinson (1983),
Green (1989), and Sadock (2004).
· Ginet (1979) is an excellent paper, and illuminates Cohen's problem.
Ways out of the problem (none of them entirely satisfactory) have
been offered by Cresswell (1973), Bach and Harnish (1979), and Lycan
(1984: ch. 6).
· Alston (2000) further develops his illocutionary theory of meaning.
