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:   Hi all--

I'm trying to compile information on languages that allow two-member fricative-initial consonant clusters in word-initial position. Specifically, I'm interested in cases where the fricatives are something other than /s/ that combine with nasals and obstruents.

Any information would be helpful, even if it's just the name of a language, but I would be very appreciative if you have information regarding which particular clusters are allowed in the language.

Thanks,
Lisa Davidson
