These expressions have been traditionally considered as promises of efficacy. This research hypothesises that a closer examination of the context in which they are embedded may render interpretations that are different from promissory speech acts in the strictest sense. The corpus of study has been excerpted from the Corpus of Early English Recipesand it comprises medical recipes written in English between 1500 and 1600. The texts have been analysed using AntConc and the results have been manually checked afterwards. The detection of potential promises of efficacy has relied on Speech Act Theory and particularly on Searle¿s (1969) constitutive rules for promises. Relevance Theory (Sperber and Wilson 1995) has been used to account for the process of contextual enrichment the reader follows so as to derive the illocutionary force of efficacy statements. This work shows that not all efficacy statements are necessarily interpreted as promises in the Searlean sense. In fact, it has been observed that the occurrence of stance elements, i.e. epistemic and/or evidential devices, together with the authors¿ lexico-grammatical choices crucially shape their illocutionary force, normally by lowering the promissory value of the locutions. 606 $aEnglish language$yEarly modern, 1500-1700 615 0$aEnglish language 676 $a420.9031 700 $aToledo$b Elena Quintana$01367543 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910724358403321 996 $aA relevance perspective of promising in medical utilitarian texts of the earl y modern english period$93390967 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01617nam 2200529 450 001 9910788774003321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a2-84450-863-4 035 $a(CKB)3240000000129423 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000983923 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12423449 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000983923 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)11010498 035 $a(PQKB)10812810 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC4412955 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL4412955 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr11293091 035 $a(OCoLC)962147062 035 $a(PPN)23336014X 035 $a(EXLCZ)993240000000129423 100 $a20161108h20092009 uy 0 101 0 $ager 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aChinon $ehistoire de Jacques Chinon, boxeur impre?visible et entrai?neur re?solu /$fJocelyne Barbas & Jacques Chinon 210 1$aMatoury, [French Guiana] :$cIbis Rouge E?ditions,$d2009. 210 4$d©2009 215 $a1 online resource (224 pages) $cillustrations, photographs 300 $aBibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph 311 $a2-84450-363-2 606 $aBoxers (Sports)$zFrench Guiana$vBiography 606 $aBoxing$zFrench Guiana$xHistory 610 $aFrench boxing (Guyana) 615 0$aBoxers (Sports) 615 0$aBoxing$xHistory. 676 $a796.83092 700 $aBarbas$b Jocelyne$01549279 702 $aChinon$b Jacques$f1949- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910788774003321 996 $aChinon$93807178 997 $aUNINA
