All sorts of players have given us all sorts of spiel about speech acts over the years but Peirce stands out from the chorus in giving us models of semiotic processes whose generation by triadic sign relations allows them to maintain a constant relation among signs, their active interpretants in conduct, and their ultimate pragmata, the objects and objectives of the whole action.  Shy of that, the speilerei of Austin and Wittgenstein simply never gets off the ground.
