In human-machine dialogue systems, indirect and composite speech acts have to be treated in a proper way. First because they appears frequently in human-human dialogue, and then constitute an important aspect of spontaneous communication. Second because they are linked to collaborative aspects. We describe some complex speech acts phenomena and some methods for a system to treat them, with the help of hypotheses on user's mental states.
