From Utterances to Speech Acts

By Mikhail Kissine

"Kissine offers a new theory of speech acts which is philosophically sophisticated and builds on work in cognitive science, formal semantics, and linguistic typology. This highly readable, brilliant essay is a major contribution to the field."

--François Recanati, Institut Jean-Nicod

Subtitle: Un reto para las teorías de la sintaxis
Edited By: Gabriele Knauer
Valeriano Bellosta von Colbe
Series Title: Linguistische Arbeiten Vol. 494
Description:

El libro propone una muestra de trabajos de distintos enfoques teóricos y metodológicos en el estudio de la variación sintáctica contribuyendo a una reflexión plural sobre la relación dialéctica entre explicación teórica y descripción empírica. En la primera parte se presentan reflexiones sobre el uso de corpus en el estudio de la variación sintáctica. El resto del volumen presenta avances en algunos temas controvertidos. La segunda parte se concentra sobre el orden de palabras, la estructura informativa y su realización prosódica. En la tercera parte se toca la codificación variable de las funciones sintácticas.

The book presents a selection of papers on syntactic variation from different theoretical and methodological points of view. As such, it contributes to a process of reflection on the dialectical relationship between theoretical explanation and empirical description. In the first part, the authors discuss the use of corpora in syntactic variation studies. The rest of the book presents some new approaches to a number of controversial topics. Part Two concentrates on word order, information structure, and its phonological realization, while Part Three enlarges on variations in the encoding of syntactic relations.
