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: Tones and Tunes
Subtitle: Volume 1: Typological Studies in Word and Sentence Prosody
Edited By: Tomas Riad
Carlos Gussenhoven
URL: http://www.degruyter.de/cont/fb/sp/detail.cfm?id=IS-9783110190571-1
Series Title: Phonology and Phonetics 12.1
Description:

Despite the recent advances in the integration of lexical tone and intonation in phonological theory, all too often the study of intonation and the study of lexical tone are viewed as belonging to different research traditions.

Volume 1 strengthens the integrated approach by studying tone and intonation within a common framework, and by tracing their interaction in specific prosodic systems. Some papers deal with the structural properties of lexical tone and intonation, while others focus on the historical development of prosodic systems. This volume also includes a re-evaluation of a classic paper on the typology of tone rules, and a survey of features signalling question intonation in African languages.

OF INTEREST TO: Libraries, Researchers and Advanced Students of Phonetics and Phonology
