219 Notes

2 S believes or assumes that
e) H does not already want to do 4;
f) H can reach a more pleasant situation Z” (relative optimum) with 4
than with any alternative action 4’.
3 S knows or believes, the following obligations are established for H: if
one of the subconditions listed under (a) through (f) does not obtain (or
more precisely, if H knows, believes, or assumes that it doesn’t obtain),
then H will make this understood to S in a conventional manner.

93. D. Holdcroft ignores this distinction, ‘“Performatives and State-
ments,” Mind 83 (1974):1-18, and thus comes to the false conclusion
that only the speech actions we have called institutionally bound are sub-
ject to conventional regulations in the sense of the sentence: “A sen-
tence type is a performative if and only if its literal and serious utterance
can constitute the performance of an act which is done in accordance
with a convention, which convention is not merely a grammatical or se-
mantical one.”
94. In Wunderlich’s analysis of advising, his conditions B 4~6 make
up the content of the obligations.
