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:   My colleague Eiichi Iwasaki and I are doing research on comparative correlatives (e.g., The more you know, the better you feel) and have some intriguing data from Jamaican English that we would like to corroborate with other speakers of this dialect.
