Pragmatic roles determined by structural position in SAP.
@cite{speas-tenny-2003}: these are NOT primitives — they are configurationally assigned by position in the Speech Act Phrase:
- SPEAKER = Spec-SAP (external argument of SA)
- HEARER = complement of SA (internal argument)
- SEAT OF KNOWLEDGE = varies by mood

Instances For
Derive mood from the two binary features.
Equations
- Minimalism.Phenomena.SpeechActs.deriveMood true false = Minimalism.Phenomena.SpeechActs.SAPMood.declarative
- Minimalism.Phenomena.SpeechActs.deriveMood true true = Minimalism.Phenomena.SpeechActs.SAPMood.interrogative
- Minimalism.Phenomena.SpeechActs.deriveMood false true = Minimalism.Phenomena.SpeechActs.SAPMood.imperative
- Minimalism.Phenomena.SpeechActs.deriveMood false false = Minimalism.Phenomena.SpeechActs.SAPMood.subjunctive
Instances For
Map configurational mood to framework-agnostic
illocutionary mood. The mapping is injective: all four SAPMood
constructors embed into IllocutionaryMood, but .exclamative
has no SAPMood counterpart (exclamatives are not derived in S&T's
2×2 matrix). S&T's "subjunctive" maps to the illocutionary
promissive — both encode [-finite, speaker-oriented] speech acts.
Equations
- Minimalism.Phenomena.SpeechActs.SAPMood.declarative.toIllocutionaryMood = Core.Discourse.IllocutionaryMood.declarative
- Minimalism.Phenomena.SpeechActs.SAPMood.interrogative.toIllocutionaryMood = Core.Discourse.IllocutionaryMood.interrogative
- Minimalism.Phenomena.SpeechActs.SAPMood.imperative.toIllocutionaryMood = Core.Discourse.IllocutionaryMood.imperative
- Minimalism.Phenomena.SpeechActs.SAPMood.subjunctive.toIllocutionaryMood = Core.Discourse.IllocutionaryMood.promissive
Instances For
The SEAT OF KNOWLEDGE role shifts by mood.
In declaratives, the speaker holds knowledge of the content. In interrogatives, the hearer is assumed to have knowledge. In imperatives and subjunctives, the speaker determines the desired action.
Equations
- Minimalism.Phenomena.SpeechActs.seatOfKnowledge Minimalism.Phenomena.SpeechActs.SAPMood.declarative = Minimalism.Phenomena.SpeechActs.PRole.speaker
- Minimalism.Phenomena.SpeechActs.seatOfKnowledge Minimalism.Phenomena.SpeechActs.SAPMood.interrogative = Minimalism.Phenomena.SpeechActs.PRole.hearer
- Minimalism.Phenomena.SpeechActs.seatOfKnowledge Minimalism.Phenomena.SpeechActs.SAPMood.imperative = Minimalism.Phenomena.SpeechActs.PRole.speaker
- Minimalism.Phenomena.SpeechActs.seatOfKnowledge Minimalism.Phenomena.SpeechActs.SAPMood.subjunctive = Minimalism.Phenomena.SpeechActs.PRole.speaker
Instances For
Map P-roles to framework-agnostic discourse roles.
SPEAKER → speaker, HEARER → addressee, SEAT OF KNOWLEDGE → speaker
(default; use seatOfKnowledge for mood-sensitive resolution).
Equations
- Minimalism.Phenomena.SpeechActs.PRole.speaker.toDiscourseRole = Core.Discourse.DiscourseRole.speaker
- Minimalism.Phenomena.SpeechActs.PRole.hearer.toDiscourseRole = Core.Discourse.DiscourseRole.addressee
- Minimalism.Phenomena.SpeechActs.PRole.seatOfKnowledge.toDiscourseRole = Core.Discourse.DiscourseRole.speaker
Instances For
seatOfKnowledge (Speas & Tenny, configurational) agrees with
moodAuthority (SpeechActs.lean, framework-agnostic) via
the toIllocutionaryMood bridge. Both encode the same generalization:
declarative/imperative/subjunctive → speaker, interrogative → addressee.
Resolve a P-role to a discourse participant via KContext.
SPEAKER = context agent, HEARER = context addressee.
SEAT OF KNOWLEDGE defaults to agent (use resolveRoleInMood for
mood-sensitive resolution).
Equations
- Minimalism.Phenomena.SpeechActs.resolveRole ctx Minimalism.Phenomena.SpeechActs.PRole.speaker = ctx.agent
- Minimalism.Phenomena.SpeechActs.resolveRole ctx Minimalism.Phenomena.SpeechActs.PRole.hearer = ctx.addressee
- Minimalism.Phenomena.SpeechActs.resolveRole ctx Minimalism.Phenomena.SpeechActs.PRole.seatOfKnowledge = ctx.agent
Instances For
Mood-sensitive role resolution: SEAT OF KNOWLEDGE is resolved through
seatOfKnowledge before mapping to a KContext participant.

Instances For
Map grammatical person to SAP P-role.
1st person → SPEAKER (Spec-SAP) 2nd person → HEARER (complement of SA) 3rd person / zero → neither (referential, not a discourse role)
Equations
- Minimalism.Phenomena.SpeechActs.personToRole UD.Person.first = some Minimalism.Phenomena.SpeechActs.PRole.speaker
- Minimalism.Phenomena.SpeechActs.personToRole UD.Person.second = some Minimalism.Phenomena.SpeechActs.PRole.hearer
- Minimalism.Phenomena.SpeechActs.personToRole UD.Person.third = none
- Minimalism.Phenomena.SpeechActs.personToRole UD.Person.zero = none
Instances For
Discourse role of a pronoun entry (theory-side, not baked into fragment). Determined entirely by the person feature.
Equations
Instances For
Discourse role is determined entirely by person feature.
Functional projections in the Sentience Domain.
Below SAP, the Sentience Domain mediates between the speech act layer and the propositional content. It hosts two projections:
- EvalP (Evaluation Phrase): specifier = SEAT OF KNOWLEDGE, the sentient mind that evaluates the proposition's truth.
- EvidP (Evidential Phrase): specifier = EVIDENCE, the type of evidence supporting the evaluation.
Hierarchy (structure 34 in S&T):
SAP > EvalP > EvidP > episP (= TP)
The Sentience Domain captures "judgements and evaluations by a sentient mind on the truth-value of the proposition" (p.333).
- EvidP : SentienceProjection
- EvalP : SentienceProjection

Rank ordering of Sentience Domain projections. EvidP < EvalP < SAP (the SAP itself is above the Sentience Domain).
Equations
Instances For
EvalP dominates EvidP in the Sentience Domain.
The specifier of EvalP hosts a P-role: SEAT OF KNOWLEDGE.
This is the sentient mind performing the evaluation. In declaratives,
this is the SPEAKER; in interrogatives, the HEARER (same as
seatOfKnowledge, since EvalP is where the seat is structurally
projected).
Equations
Instances For
The specifier of EvidP hosts the evidence type.
Maps S&T's EVIDENCE argument to the framework-agnostic
EvidentialSource from Core/Discourse/Evidence.lean:
- direct → sensory observation
- inference → reasoning from effects
- hearsay → reported evidence
Instances For
Bridge to Core/Discourse/Epistemicity.lean: the Sentience Domain's
two specifiers (SEAT OF KNOWLEDGE + EVIDENCE) correspond to
EpistemicProfile's two main fields (authority + source).
| S&T Sentience Domain | Core.Epistemicity |
|---|---|
| EvalP spec (Seat) | EpistemicProfile.authority |
| EvidP spec (Evidence) | EpistemicProfile.source |
The structural hierarchy (EvalP > EvidP) corresponds to authority scoping over source: WHO evaluates is determined before HOW they know.
