1. ferret, Sum : German Particles

 A few months ago, I posted a query concerning the literature
on verb plus particle constructions in the Germanic languages- more
precisely on 'Preverbs' / 'Partikelverben' in German.

Thank you to all those who responded and thereby contributed to my
research :
in alphabetic order :

I received many useful references, some of which I was previously
aware of and many I was not. Some linguist listers offered to send
me a copy of their (as yet unpublished) work on the topic.

In addition to the references, I received the following project
homepage address : http://www.uni-leipzig.de/~part/
The research project (funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft)
deals with particle verbs in both German and English and offers many
bibliographical references.

Here are bibliographical references I received in response to
