Introduction
The first idea of this paper is that speech acts (orders, promises, excuses) are not simply ways of doing something by the very act of telling what we are doing, or ways of giving a supposed illocutionary strength to language, but ways of repairing breakdowns of interaction (excuses) or preventing anticipated breakdowns (orders, promises, declarations). The second one is that Girards ludics could be a useful tool to represent formally the different kinds of speech acts so conceived.
