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:   I am currently engaged in analysing the prevalence of figurative
language in normal and disordered language output. I am particularly
interested in the use of metaphors. I am struggling to find a way of
catergorising and quantifying metaphors and am interested to hear
about other attempts to do this. Can anyone suggest some useful
references? I am happy to provide a summary of the information
received if there is sufficient interest.
