    Subject: Triggers for Parameters


    I am compiling a bibliography of syntax articles in which the author proposes a syntactic parameter and suggests a trigger by which learners could set the parameter to the correct value. If you know of such an article, or have written one, would you kindly send me the reference?

    Please respond directly to me at jgk22email.msn.com.

    I will summarize for the list and post.

    Many thanks!

    Dear Sirs,

    I am writing a thesis on Polish 'czasowniki dokonane' and 'czasowniki niedokonane' in comparison with perfective and imperfective verbs in English. I am keenly interested in various ways of rendering aspect (on a word- or sentence-level) in both languages, especially English.

    Could you help me with possible bibliography, internet links and particular hints that would facilitate my work? I would appreciate it very much.

    I am looking forward to your reply.

    Yours sincerely,

    Ma�gorzata Rassak
