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 Arabic Permutation “şāwġ” of El-Jadida, Morocco
Written By: Nasser Berjaoui
Series Title: LINCOM Studies in Afroasiatic Languages 34
Description:

The numerous and detailed operations at work in the “Inversion”/“Backward” “secret language” (“SL”) of El-Jadida, Morocco, known as “ş-şāwġ”, are scrutinized in this investigation. The manipulating changes affecting individual sounds, syllables, words and structures (of all types, categories and lengths) will be studied, with a consideration of the rich and interesting phonetic, phonological, morphological, syntactic, semantic and discursive effects of the “SLs” on the MA variety of El-Jadida, generally and most commonly referred to, in the relevant literature, as the “Aroubi” (villager)/“Doukkali” variety.
