Subject: From Subject-Prominent to Topic-Prominent

Dear Linguist,
I have an inquiry regarding the classic article "Subject and Topic: A New
Typology of Language" by Li and Thompson (1976).
Does anyone know any language(s) that shifted from "subject-prominent" to
"topic-prominent" one(s)? Does anyone know any literature that discusses
this issue?
I would very appreciate it, if you could direct your response to the
following address:

Subject: Curso de Sapoteco

Hola,
	
	Soy una estudiante graduada de los EE.UU.. Estudio las lenguas
indigenas de Mexico. Le escribo porque busco un curso de Sapoteco. Me
gustaria encontrar una universidad o escuela donde se ensena el Sapoteco
del Istmo (hablado en la ciudad de Juchitan, Oaxaca). Quiero viajar a
Mexico para estudiar y aprender el Sapoteco. Si tiene alguna
informacion, por favor, mandemela a mi direccion del correo electronico:
<mfeke+pitt.edu>.
	
					Muchas gracias,
						Marilyn Feke
