The book presents the Cost-Benefit Cognitive Model, a theoretical framework for the treatment of speech acts from the perspectives of Cognitive Linguistics and Construction Grammar. Specifically, the book focuses on the three categories of interpersonal speech acts (directives, commissives, and expressives) and through close inspection of corpus data of 'suggesting', 'offering' and 'thanking', shows the conceptual metonymic operations that instantiate indirect speech acts.

Abstract
The book presents the Cost-Benefit Cognitive Model, a theoretical framework for the treatment of speech acts from the perspectives of Cognitive Linguistics and Construction Grammar. Specifically, the book focuses on the three categories of interpersonal speech acts (directives, commissives, and expressives) and through close inspection of corpus data of 'suggesting', 'offering' and 'thanking', shows the conceptual metonymic operations that instantiate indirect speech acts.
