Declaration

A Declaration is a Basic linguistic act where the words precede the world. In other words, it is a statement of how the world will be from this point forward.¹

Declarations are not tied to fact the same way Assertions are. For the world to change, I must have Authority to make the declaration.

Trump is the perfect example of someone who makes Declarations without Authority; even though he believes he has it.

Types of declarations

• Declaration of acceptance: from this point forward, I’ll accept the situation as it is.
