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

Linguistic LingField(s):  Morphology
Syntax

Query:   Dear all,

I'm currently working on the development of subject agreement
morphology out of pronouns/clitics (and possible syntactic
consequences of this diachronic process such as verb movement,
pro-drop etc.). Does anybody know a language that is currently
undergoing this change -- apart from Mongolian (Comrie 1980),
colloquial French, and colloquial Hebrew (as discussed by Mira Ariel)
-- or has undergone it in its recent(recorded)history? I will of
course post a summary.

Thanks,

Eric Fuss
