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):  Historical Linguistics
Phonology

Query:   Perhaps my question is a bit specialized, but I didn't know where else to
ask it; if there happens to be an Assyriologist around here, perhaps he/she
can answer it.

Just how established is nowadays the theory that some or all of the
so-called fricatives in Akkadian and Sumerian (above all ''sh'' with hacek
:)) were in fact affricates? I'd like to know to what extent it is accepted
in the Assyriological community.

Best regards,
Vladimir Naydenov
