Resumen

The present contribution studies the cognitive motivation and linguistic realization of illocutionary meaning. The theoretical framework is the Lexical Constructional Model propounded by Ruiz de Mendoza and Mairal and Mairal and Ruiz de Mendoza. Illocutionary constructions are the result of the interplay between cognitive construal operations and general social conventions defined in the Cost-Benefit Cognitive Model (Ruiz de Mendoza and Baicchi; Baicchi and Ruiz de Mendoza). In this study I examine the conceptual grounding of constructions carrying out promising values. I argue that the realization of promises is based on linguistic mechanisms capable of instantiating relevant parts of promise constructions.
