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

Written By:	Helena Sanson
URL:	http://ukcatalogue.oup.com/product/9780197264836.do
Series Title:	British Academy Postdoctoral Fellowship Monographs

Little attention has been paid to women's linguistic education, but this study shows the vital role they played in developing Italian as a true mother tongue.
