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:   Hi there,

Can anyone please help me find information and/or data on the
following:

- The Americanisation of British English: is it fact or fiction?

I've found virtually nothing so far, which is why I'm keen to try The
LINGUIST List. The information is required for a possible (if it seems
interesting/promising enough) research project.

Many thanks,
