Assertives

Assertives are speech acts in which a speaker states, affirms, or describes something as a fact. They aim to convey information or opinions confidently, such as making statements like "The sky is blue" or "I believe this is correct." In essence, assertives commit the speaker to the truth of what is being said, making them foundational for effective communication and conveying beliefs or knowledge about the world. They are used to assert ideas, facts, or judgments and are a core component of everyday conversations, language, and dialogue.
