An utterance with which the speaker commits himself to a future course of action. An utterance that accepts an action directive or open option will typically be a commit. “Okay” can be also a commit. The speaker’s commitment does not depend on the acceptance of the commitment by the hearer, e.g.,as in the case of a promise.[1]
