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

Subject Language(s):  English
Spanish


Query:   I am researching the acquisition of pronominal objects of prepositions in L2 English of native Spanish speakers for my master's thesis in linguistics. For example, Spanish speakers have the tendency to say; ''I want to go with she.'' Instead of, ''I want to go with her.'' substituting the subject form for the object form. Does anyone know of some studies that have been done in this area? They don't have to be regarding Spanish speakers' acquisition of English, but that would be helpful.
