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:   Hello,

I'm an undergraduate research assistant for Lenore Grenoble and
Jerrold
Sadock at the University of Chicago working under NSF Grant
#1056497 ''The
lexicon of a polysynthetic language.''

Right now, I'm just going through the previous work on Greenlandic
lexicography and I've come across many citations for Lennert Olsen
and
Hertling's (1988) ''Grønlandsk Tilhængsliste'' (which I've acquired in
.pdf
formatting). But, Lennert Olsen and Hertling in turn have the following
in their
bibliography, which I'm trying to pursue:

* Carl Christian Olsen & D. Collis: ''Tilhængsliste, med dansk
oversættelse.''
Institut for Eskimologi. 1971. [230 pages.]

* Sven Kolte & Anne Timmermann: [Tilhængsliste.] Århus: Aarhus
Universitet. Afdeling for Grønlandsk. 1973. [88 pages]

I think the Kolte & Timmermann also goes by the title ''[Liste over ca.
1230
grønlandske tilhæng (affixer) med oversættelser]''

I've only been able to find copies in Danish libraries. And even when I
just try
to to Google more information about them, or even just something else
that
cites them, I just get their entries in Google Books just letting me know
of
their existence.

If anyone happened to have procured an electronic copy of either of
these
sources I would greatly appreciate it. Or, even if you're just familiar with
them,
I'd still greatly appreciate you letting me know if they're worth pursuing
if I
already have Lennert Olsen and Hertling's ''Tilhængliste'' (the only
work I've
come across so far that cites them.)

Thank you,

Thomas Heins
