"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."

Cornelia Tschichold, Institute of English, University of
Neuchâtel, Switzerland INTRODUCTION This book is a recent
addition to the growing number of textbooks on varieties of
English around the world. In the preface, the two authors, both
from Stockholm University, describe the intended audience of the
book as readers familiar with the basics of linguistics and
phonetics, thus typically undergraduate students after their
first year at a department of English, with English either as
their native or a second or foreign language.
