speech actSome philosophers prefer to talk about a "speech act" rather than a statement. This is because they are paying attention to the purpose of a speaker instead of the question of whether the statement is true or false. see the course "speech acts" : https://johnkuti.net/m4/course/view.php?id=11 | |
substantivein legal English "substantive" means a question that is about how people or organisations must behave. It is different from "procedural" law, which governs how the legal system itself works - how to make laws and use them.
