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: Entangling Forms
Subtitle: Within Semiosic Processes
Written By: Floyd Merrell
URL: http://www.degruyter.de/cont/fb/sk/detailEn.cfm?id=IS-9783110245578-1
Series Title: Semiotics, Communication and Cognition 5
Description:

The volume draws from Charles S. Peirce's pragmatic philosophy, as well as from diverse areas in contemporary arts and sciences, and certain facets of Buddhist philosophy – especially regarding notions of "interconnectedness", "self-organization", and "co-participation" of the knowing subject with her inner world, her socio-cultural world, and her physical environment. "Contradictory", "complementary", and "coalescence" are also fundamental watchwords, in addition to "entanglement". 'Contradictory', since conflicts, clashes and inconsistencies there will always be, in spite attempts to resolve them. 'Complementarity', since poles of opposition can at least provisionally be resolved by mediation and moderation, however vaguely and ambiguously, such that consonance might emerge from dissonance, balance from imbalance, and accord from discord. And 'coalescence', since the union of disparities is an ongoing, and always incomplete, process; it is never fixed product. These concepts, along with the key word, "entanglement", place Peirce in a new light, giving rise to new questions and possible responses from readers who are searching for alternate means of understanding in our increasingly complex, rapidly globalizing world.
