have you seen the work on critical discourse analysis?  there r a few 
websites on it.  i think the distinction being made is arbitrary at 
best, what is the difference in a chatroom between an action and a 
stated action? none that i can see.  i can see the inference between 
what the people say they will do and what they do is not permitted, but 
you could not make that inference from chats alone.
