Message 1: Dominance

Subject: Dominance

Dear linguists:

When does the notion of "dominance" trace back in linguistic theory
and in generative grammar in particular? Does the concept of "a
represents b" stated in The Logical Structure of Linguistic Theory and
symbolized with the greek leter "rho" have something to do with it?
(LSLT: 69) What were the mathematical properties that Chomsky for the
first time asigned to dominance?

Thank you in advance,

Message 2: _like_ + past participle

From: Simon,Beth <SimonIPFW.EDU>
Subject: _like_ + past participle

Dear LINGUIST-L Folks,

For an article on _like_ + past participle in American English, (the
infant likes held, children like picked up, the cat liked petted, you
like fed?, etc.) my colleague, Thomas Murray (KS), and I would
appreciate hearing from anyone who uses such a construction, is
familiar with such a construction, or is in an area where such a
construction is in use.

Please note that we do not need responses concerning the use of _need_.
Our earlier articles on _need_ + past participle and _want_ + past
participle appear in 1996 and 1999 issues of _American Speech_.

Please respond directly to me, Beth Simon, by email, simonipfw.edu.

We appreciate your participation. All respondents will be acknowledged.
