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

Title: Predicates Across Categories: Towards a Category-Neutral Syntax
Written By: Rose-Marie Déchaine
Description:

This work attempts a principled and coherent account of the Aristotelian sentence within modern generative grammar. Predication is understood as a licensing relation, and a category-neutral theory of predication is proposed, with consequences for two domains of grammar: 'inside' and 'outside' the predicate.
