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: The Language of the Kharoṣṭhi Documents From Chinese Turkestan
Written By: T. Burrow
URL: http://www.cambridge.org/us/knowledge/isbn/item6480127/The%20Language%20of%20the%20Kharo%E1%B9%A3%E1%B9%ADhi%20Documents%20from%20Chinese%20Turkestan/?site_locale=en_US
Description:

The documents discussed in this 1937 book were found by Sir Aurel Stein at the turn of the twentieth century. In this text, they were interpreted for the first time. Mr Burrow has identified the language in which they are written, and has succeeded in interpreting their meaning. He here presents a grammar of the language, with a full discussion of its peculiarities and its relation to other Indian languages.
