Abstract | Language users are able not only to recognize the illocutionary force of their interlocutors' utterances, but also to name these illocutions. Expressions such as apology or compliment are part of their everyday vocabulary and are used to talk or write about speech acts. Such metapragmatic terms occur frequently in discourse and serve a range of communicative functions. Not only are they used to perform or report speech acts, they are also used to clarify or challenge a speaker's intentions. It seems that each of these functions correlates with specific grammatical properties. The present paper focuses in particular on the forms and functions of meta-illocutionary expressions. A qualitative analysis of their communicative functions is based on fictional material, whereas corpus data are employed to exemplify a quantitative analysis of the frequencies and distributions of meta-illocutionary expressions and the constructions they are used in.
