We'd like to remind readers that the responses to queries are usually best posted to the individual asking the question. That individual is then strongly encouraged to post a summary to the list. This policy was instituted to help control the huge volume of mail on LINGUIST; so we would appreciate your cooperating with it whenever it seems appropriate. In addition to posting a summary, we'd like to remind people that it is usually a good idea to personally thank those individuals who have taken the trouble to respond to the query.

Subject: Looking for Persian frequency data or text corpora

For a cross-linguistic (German/English/Persian) study investigating
semantic and conceptual features of lexical items in language
comprehension we are looking for frequency data for Persian words, or
electronically available corpora of Persian texts. I would be grateful
for any pointers to this kind of information. Please reply to me
individually, and I will post a summary of responses.

Subject: Implicit objects in English and Arabic

Dear Linguist,
	I am writing a paper on the implicit objects in English and
Arabic. Could you please suggest any recent works on this topic. I am
familiar with B. Levin's treatment of this topic in her English Verb
Classes.. (1993). I do appreciate any other suggestions especially
concerning Arabic.
