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:   The pronunciation of OFTEN with an aspirated t in the second syllable
can be heard from English-speakers on both sides of the Atlantic.
Does anyone know about its distribution in the UK or US? Is it found
in other English-speaking countries? Has anyone recorded OFTEN with
and without t as a stylistic variable in a single speaker?

I'll post a summary if response warrants it.

Thanks,

Neal
