query:
Is there a technical term for catcalls, verbal abuse and the like from, say,
men toward women in situations such as from a car on a street--the "hey baby"
phenomenon? Please reply to me privately. thanks, ach

I m working on a PhD dissertation on control in Old Norse
(Norwegian/Icelandic language 1050-1350) in the framework of LFG, and I m
interested in references on this subject, both in the LFG framework and
other theories.

Please consider these Norwegian sentences:

 (1)a. Jon sa Marit at hun hadde stilt et sp|rsm}l.
 b. Hvem sa Marit at hun hadde stilt et sp|rsm}l?
 (2)a. Jon sa Marit at hun hadde undervist i lingvistikk.
 b. Hvem sa Marit at hun hadde undervist i lingvistikk?
 ( |=digraph oe, }=digraph a ring)

I wonder whether these sentences are acceptable. I would be grateful if
someone informs me on this.

I try to reach Francois Wioland of the Institut de phonetique de Strasbourg in
France. If anybody could give me his e-mail address or the e-mail address of t
he Institut, it would save me time.
Thanks
