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:   Dear colleagues

As part of my PhD dissertation I am looking at English non-primary stress
in Optimality Theory. I am yet to come across an optimality-theoretic
analysis which distinguishes between different degrees of non-primary
stress, i.e. secondary versus tertiary. Can anyone point me to an OT
analysis (of any language) which formally recognises tertiary stress? Or is
this problematic in OT?

Many thanks
