We offer an alternative commentary on the Philosophical Investigations § §21–24, developing what we call a Wittgensteinian role-based account of assertion. We then examine whether this role-based account can solve the problem of on-stage utterances. In the course of this, the merits of the account are shown and compared to an alternative proposal offered by Searle.
