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

Summary:   Here the summary of the different answers I got from my query.
I would like to thank :

Patricia Kilroe <kilroe@csd.uwm.edu>
Sari Kunnari <skunnari@sun3.oulu.fi>
David Powers <powers@merlin.enssat.fr>
Valery D. Solovyev <solovyev@open.ksu.ras.ru>
Frank Wijnen <Frank.Wijnen@let.ruu.nl>

It looks like there are no that many works and references on the
subject and that it is still a very open subject and of course
it pleases me very much. Here are the references I got:

- Amy Pierce's (1989) "On the emergence of syntax: A
crosslinguistic study"

- Deprez and Pierce (1993) in Linguistic Inquiry

- Astrid Ferdinand (1996) `The development of functional
categories. The acquisition of the subject in French'

- Papers on the optional or root infinitive hypothesis (Wexler
1994, in Lightfoot & Hornstein, `Verb movement'; Rizzi 1994 in
Hoekstra & Schwartz), cf. issues 19 & 20 of the Proceedings of
the annual Boston child language development conferences, and
`Papers on language processing and acquisition' (MIT working
papers in linguistics #26); and also J. Meisel (ed.)., `The
acquisition of verb placement' (Dordrecht: Kluwer, 1992).

External Arguments in French: A Study in Adult and Child
