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

''motherese'' in SLA


I'm trying to find any references about the usefulness of using ''motherese'' type properties (especially the exaggerated pitch contours, but other properties are of interest as well) in teaching a second language.

Thanks!
