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:   Dear members of the list,

I am looking for bibliographic references to books/papers dealing with the
syntax of action nouns such as "destruction", "discovery" etc., e.g. as in
"the Huns' destruction of the city/the city's destruction by the Huns",
"Colombus' discovery of America/the discovery of America by Colombus".

Please send information to my personal email address: lmfosse@online.no.
I'll be happy to make available a list of the references that I receive for
Linguist.

Best regards,

Lars Martin Fosse
