ResumoThis chapter discusses the scripts, because theory requires a good foundation at the script level. The simplest relevant conceptual script content includes the puuposeful transactional activities of social actors, such as communication with others, enlisting the help of others, and a set of specifications of the realities constraining the possibilities of action–knowledge of transportation and communication systems, the necessary properties of objects, etc. The major type of script is a plan, specified by the actor, the goal state, and the sequence of intended steps to reach the goal. With the aid of conceptual dependency formalism, a small set of primitive act concepts is sufficient to represent almost any describable event. Acts as steps-in-plans have two special features distinguishing them from acts as events-in-reality. Both features stem from the intentionality of plans. First, the reason why low-level primitives such as GRASP are not the most useful components in the cognition of plans is that for human actors they are usually not problematic—they are taken for granted by both planner and observer. The second consideration is closely related to the first. Acts as steps-in-plans are characterized by their intended effects rather than by their physical nature.
