Proposes to address by starting from a controversial hypothesis: What if human interactants were not the only ones to be considered, paraphrasing Austin (1962), as 'doing things with words'? That is, what if other 'things' could also be granted the status of agents in a dialogical situation? This title proposes to explore this hypothesis.
