Assertives are statements of the world, believed by the sender with the
intent that the receiver also believes the fact after the utterance of the
assertive. The assertion conveys knowledge the sender A believes to the
receiver B. Success is achieved if the receiver B believes the same as A
after the performance of the assertion.
Examples: A informs B of XY’s current stock price. |
