Renewing meaning : a speech-act theoretic approach / Stephen J, Barker.

Defending a radically new semantic theory, the author shows how it solves notable problems in the philosophy of language. According to the theory, linguistic meaning should be understood in terms of speech acts, and the fundamental bearer of truth is not a proposition but an assertion.
