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:   Can anybody recommend an introduction to Relevance Theory short enough to be covered in about 2 weeks? It's for a third-year introductory Pragmatics course taken by linguistics and communication studies majors. If there is enough interest, I will post a summary. Thanks.
