Dear List Members:
I would like to present my first question to the list. What is your opinion of the following sentences which I found in my reading. Some linguists accept these with the 'it' and 'him' added. I don't think that they are so common, but would like to hear your opinions. This book is too abstract for me to read [it]. He spoke too fast for me to follow [him]. Which article did you file without reading [it]. (Chomsky accepts this last one without the 'it'.) Sadao Ando ando@nt.yasuda-u.ac.jp |
