Subject: Classification of Discourse Styles
For an effort to tag styles of discourse in broadcast communication (e.g., news reports, talk radio, podcasts), can anyone point me to a list of descriptive terminology (e.g., ''discursive'', ''argumentative'', ''halting'', ''chatty'', ''interrupting'', etc.) or any other classification system?

Perhaps my question is a bit specialized, but I didn't know where else to ask it; if there happens to be an Assyriologist around here, perhaps he/she can answer it.
Just how established is nowadays the theory that some or all of the so-called fricatives in Akkadian and Sumerian (above all ''sh'' with hacek :)) were in fact affricates? I'd like to know to what extent it is accepted in the Assyriological community.
Best regards, Vladimir Naydenov
