Abstract :
The possibility of developing machine-readable language for business communications is considered. A series of representation schemes for promising is proposed, and it is indicated how these schemes might be extended for assertives, declaratives, directives, and expressives. Properties of the representation schemes for promising are explored, and the representation schemes are tentatively found to be adequate.<>
