Abstract
This paper offers a selective but reasonably representative reconstruction of the evolution of Peirce’s “speech acts theory” across different, consecutive versions of speculative grammar. It examines Peirce’s pre-1903 theory of assertion, the Syllabus (1903) and “Καινὰ στοιχεῖα” (c. 1904), and reconstructs Peirce’s speech-act-oriented semiotic classifications after 1904.
