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

Abstract: Drawing on Geeraerts' (2003) overview of de- and recontextualization tendencies in 20th century linguistics, this paper accounts for the possibilities of doing rich and detailed language descriptions, taking into account not only so-called core-linguistic factors, but also so-called extra-linguistic ones, such as various types of contextual elements that determine the use of various (types of) constructions.
