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.

Message 1: written vs. spoken language

Subject: written vs. spoken language

Does anybody know any (empirical or theoretical) studies on the
difference between spoken and written language in English or related
languages? I am particularly interested in constructions allowing for
word/constituent order alternation and whether they behave
differently, but I will be grateful for any suggestions.

Many thanks,
Nicole Dehe

I am researching remnant movement for a survey article and would
appreciate being informed of relevant work on the topic.

I will be compiling a bibliography and would be grateful to receive or
be pointed to articles or other works, preferably with full
bibliographic references. I can use EndNote in case anyone wonders.

Please send information to me at peter.svenoniushum.uit.no

I will post a summary.
