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

Linguistic LingField(s):   Sociolinguistics

Summary:   I recently sent the following query to LINGUIST:

''I am currently investigating code-switching among Japanese nationals
living in Colorado (USA). I am interested in the functional and/or
social significance of code switching, particularly as it relates to
this international community. I would appreciate any pointers to work
dealing with code switching among Japanese in English speaking
countries, or similar expatriate communities. In addition, work on
code switching as a communicative or socializing resource would be
appreciated. I will, of course, make a summary to the list.''

My sincere thanks to all those who responded.
