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: Night Dream Stories: A corpus study of spoken Russian discourse
Subtitle: (The book is in Russian: Rasskazy o snovidenijax: korpusnoe issledovanie ustnogo russkogo diskursa)
Edited By: Andrej A. Kibrik
Vera I. Podlesskaya
Description:

This monograph is a linguistic study of a corpus of Russian spoken stories, told by children and adolescents about their night dreams. Fundamental properties of spoken discourse are examined, such as prosodic and semantico-syntactic segmentation of speech flow, pausing, pitch accents, tempo differences, illocutionary and phasal structure, multi-clausal constructions, speech errors and disfluencies, etc. Approaching these phenomena from a cognitive standpoint enables a novel approach to Russian grammar. The practical work with the "Night Dream Stories" corpus has allowed to develop a discourse transcription as a tool of objective representation for spoken Russian. An applied aspect of this study is a comparative account of two classes of stories, belonging to speakers with neurotic disorders and to intact speakers. The results of analysis are applicable in diagnostics of neuroses. The corpus itself, consisting of 129 stories, is presented in two forms: text and audio (on the appended compact disk). This is the first corpus of spoken Russian, transcribed on the basis of systematic and explicit principles. The corpus is a valuable resource for diverse studies of Russian in its spoken - that is, the basic, most fundamental - form. The monograph is addressed to a broad audience, interested in spoken language, linguistic theory, corpus-based approaches to grammar and discourse, applications of linguistics in psychology and medicine.

As the book is written and published in Russian, the brief table of contents is provided below in Russian (in Roman transliteration).
