Can anyone provide references to works which deal with the structure
of the noun phrase in Old or Middle English within Generative Grammar?
I am particularly interested in discussions of whether or not the noun
phrase in Old English had a flat structure and if it did, how it developed
the hierarchical structure of Modern English. I have looked through the
literature and have found next to nothing. Any suggestions would be
welcome.

Thank you,

P.S. Please reply directly to me, no need to clutter LINGUIST. If there
is any interest in a summary, I can post that. BN

I am looking for long lists of specialist (eg: medical etc) words to
feed into my crossword puzzle generator. Does anyone have such things
lying about where I might ftp them?

I'd like to begin a cross-dialectal study of 'Negation in Kurdish' & I'd
like to hear everyon's opinion about any germane publication I can benefit
from. Thanks.

Does anyone know what software is available for word processing and printing
in Spanish? This is for an IBM clone and laser printer.
Thanks!
