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

Cruz-Ferreira, Rachel Lagunoff, Paul Justice, Suzette Haden Elgin, and
K. B. Cohen for applying to the query (Linguist 14.188). Several felt
that no text at all was appropriate; Suzette Elgin recommended a web
site which she had developed. Among the other recommendations:

Yule, "The Study of Language"
Crystal, "Cambridge Encyclopedia of Language"
Macaulay, "The Social Art"
Trask, "Language" The Basics"
Aitchison, "Linguistics"
Pinker, "Language Instinct"
Cruz-Ferreira, "Language of Language"
Fromkin and Rodman, "Introduction to Language:
Justice, "Relevant Linguistics"
