Concerning the innateness and universality of the Coordinate
Structure Constraint (and reasons to be skeptical, in particular,
regarding that possibility), one might take a look at my
paper on the CSC in the CLS volume from 1985. Also, there
is a recent paper by Geoffrey Huck and Younghee Na, not yet
published but available from them, primarily on Korean but
also dealing with this topic in a theoretical way; their
addresses are
huck huckvm.utcs.utoronto.ca
younghee youngheevm.epas.utoronto.ca

Subject: Query from M. Covington

One problem is that whether there is a CSC as originally proposed by Ross
depends on whether there are transformations. Other people, myself included,
have tried to explain the phenomena in other ways, though the question raised
(are these principles innate or learned) could be raised for all the alterna-
tives too, I would think.

I'd appreciate your passing this on.

I have contact with two linguists in Israel:
one is Wendy Sandler (Ph.D. U.Texas) rhle702haifauvm.bitnet
and Joel Walters (doctorate from Boston University) F24029barilvm.bitnet

Hope this helps whoever it was who needed contacts there.
