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:   A few weeks ago I posted a request for information about Web-based
computer-aided language learning. I received very prompt and helpful
responses from a number of people. As promised, here is a summary of
the information I received:

Lynne Roecklein <lynne@cc.gifu-u.ac.jp> mentioned the NETEACH mailing
list as a resource and sent a long list of sites that are using the
Web for language teaching purposes:

Lotoshko Yurij Rostislavovic <lotofil@tversu.ac.ru> pointed me to a
web-based course on Russian Phonetics:

Claus-Dieter Pusch <pusch@mail.uni-freiburg.de> provided the URL of a
web page designed for self-teaching of Catalan:

Web-based language teaching. Their URL is:

Barlow <barlow@ruf.rice.edu> who in turn provided the URL of the
Web-CT project which I found particularly interesting. Web-CT is a
web-based course development tool that includes a range of tools such
as record keeping, self-evaluation and testing, on-line chat etc. The
home page is at: http://homebrew.cs.ubc.ca/webct/

Swedish that makes interesting use of the Web:

site for learning Portuguese:
