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

Linguistic LingField(s):  Discourse Analysis

Query:   In my PhD research I do discourse analysis on conversations of multi
functional project teams managing change projects. Amongst others I am
using speech acts. Does anyone know if there is a rubric for speech acts
(e.g. low/weak, medium/neutral, and high/strong assertives)?

thanks in advance for your guidance
kind regards,
