Abstract
One of the modules of human mind is grammatical competence, the knowledge of language acquired by a native speaker. One of the tasks of a linguistic theory is to model grammatical competence by constructing explicit grammars. An explicit grammar is a concrete grammar of a particular language which generates the well-formed sentences of that language by means of its rules. Therefore, we can see sentences as units of grammatical competence. Another modul of human mind is pragmatic competence, which is the faculty of using knowledge to achive different human purposes. Besides modeling grammatical competence another task of a linguistic theory is to model pragmatic competence. After shortly surveying different definitions of the term „utterance" my paper defines the utterance-type, which is the unit of pragmatic competence. The utterance-type u, is an inscription ins that a person p relates to a pragmatic unit pu at a time t with respect to a context c. In the definition the utterance-type must be described from grammatical and pragmatic points of view. The grammatical description is made by relating the utterance-types to the sentences. The pragmatic description is made by defining pragmatic functions, which the utterance-types play in the use with respect to a given physical and cognitive context. After defining the ut in general my paper tries to show how the utterance-types can be characterized in a particular form of language use, namely in the communicative language use. Finally, the utterance-types in concrete situations, i.e. utterance-tokens, are considered. They have the characteristics deriving from the properties of the utterance-types and the situations.
