Abstract

This article examines the impact of AI on the speech act of a writing assignment. The pragmatic analysis reveals that AI does not have to affect the speech act, but it exacerbates the inherent tension that always existed within the genre of a writing assignment. This analysis suggests that we need to discuss the role of AI not in isolation but in context.

Keywords: speech act, AI, writing assignment, pragmatics
