Jürgen Habermas on Assertions - Dictionary of Arguments
IV 102 Assertions/Statement/Habermas: for a sentence like "This ball is red" there is no meaning-preserving sentence in a non-assertoric mode. There is an asymmetry: the semantic content of any illocutionary or expressive part of a speech act can be expressed by a descriptive sentence - but not by sentences of another mode. >Content, >Speech acts, >Illocutionary act, >Perlocutionary act This asymmetry explains why we learn the linguistic expressions that are constitutive for illocutionary or expressive elements in such a way that we can use them simultaneously in the attitudes of the first and third person. >First Person, >Learning, >Communicative action/Habermas, >Communication theory/Habermas, >Communication/Habermas, >Communicative practice/Habermas, >Communicative rationality/Habermas._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
