has anyone written about autism and layers of locution meanings. like. i only have a little bit of understanding of this but i really dont think "autistic people take things literally" cuts it or is accurate a lot of the time but "autistic people tend to understand locutionary meanings rather than illocutionary meanings" seems to immediately explain a lot more

[jedthewolfdog]

basically like if you say "do you have any lemonade" the locutionary meaning is asking if the listener is in possession of lemonade. the locutionary act is a request for information

but thats not actually what is meant when someone says that

when you say "do you have any lemonade" the illocutionary meaning is "i would like some lemonade, do you have some you can share with me?" and the illocutionary act is requesting that the listener share some of their lemonade

i think a lot of autistic people hear the locution and go yes i have lemonade. and then dont perform the intended perlocutionary act which is to share their lemonade. and then the speaker gets pissed lmao

[dioptre-hertz]

people have in fact written a lot about this topic, yes! i wrote a long tumblr post about this a while back, which you can find here if you're interested, but basically: there's been a lot of studies that suggest autistic people struggle with implied requests like these. if you want to do some digging, you should find plenty of results by searching for papers on autism and implicature; scholars in this field i think tend to use that term more often (maybe because they're more interested in the content of speech than in speech acts themselves).
