Abstract
Two parallelism hypotheses have been adopted and the third one on their relationship has been put forward.
The illocutionary logic hypothesis states that the logic of linguistic commitments runs parallel to the logic of intentionality.
The normative pragmatics hypothesis states that the logic of utterances runs parallel to the
logic of linguistic commitments. According to the third stance or the logic projection hypothesis, the logic of utterances is the origin of all other logics used in describing psychological and social realities. Consequently, the imperative logic or logic of utterances constitutes an independent but not self-sufficient research topic.
The logic of utterances manifests itself in its meaning effects such as deontic and bouletic ones.
It can be studied only in relation to deontic logics of the hearer’s obligation and the speaker’s linguistic commitments and in relation to logics of intentionality of the speaker’s expression and the hearer’s impression.
Therefore, research in logic of imperative and other utterances must include investigation of relations between logics.
