Can anybody direct me to good sources on binding of reflexives in languages
with agreeing postpositions (or prepositions)? I have found a few things, but
I'd be grateful for any help anyone can give me. Please send replies directly
to me; I'll post a summary later, if there's enough interest.

Many thanks to the people who answered my previous query for sample words
with uvular nasals and voiced stops. I have one last request. Can anyone
tell me a word containing a labiodental nasal, its meaning, and the name
of the language?

Thanks
Nicholas Reid

A friend of mine asked me if knew someone who could answer the following
question. I thought perhaps someone out there could:

>Right now I am looking into the area of
>history functions in word processors, and related issues such as
>version comparison for documents and undo support in text editors.

>Do you know of any related work in this area? Both literature
>addressing these questions and programs with related functions would
>be of great interest to me. I would be very grateful for any
>suggestions you might have!

Does anyone know of frequency counts for German that address the issue of
the size of words (or, preferably, of feet) in syllables. I need info. on
token frequency of monosyllables vs. disyllables vs. trisyllables, especially.

Reply directly to me, & I'll summarize for LINGUIST.
