The interactionalist perspective on communication argues that the impact of a speech act is not solely based on the speaker's communicative intentions, as suggested by Gricean theory. Rather, the addressee's acknowledgment also plays a crucial role in determining the illocution. Advocates of this viewpoint assert that illocutionary acts inherently have the power to establish, abolish, or modify deontic states such as commitments, obligations, rights, and entitlements, which define the intersubjective relationships among participants in an interaction. This concept is inherently linked to a normative understanding of communication, viewing conversations as collaborative actions where participants work together to agree that a certain speech act has occurred, thereby triggering its conventional effect through this consensus.
