Abstract

The assumption that there is a causal relationship between a speaker's mental state and utterance is explored. Several abductive methods that a hearer can adopt to recognize the speaker's mental state is discussed. A formal representation of mental states is proposed, as well as a causal theory which links mental states to utterances.
