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

Query Subject:   written vs. spoken language

Query:   Does anybody know any (empirical or theoretical) studies on the difference between spoken and written language in English or related languages?
I am particularly interested in constructions allowing for word/constituent order alternation and whether they behave differently, but I will be grateful for any suggestions.

Many thanks,
Nicole Dehe
