    Message 1: Hornstein's 'de se'

    Dear colleagues,

    In Hornstein's recent LI article, he uses the term 'de se', in regards to a particular interpretation of infinitivals clauses with mental verbs. I believe that it refers to something like the contrast between the internal versus the external representation of a mental event, i.e., something like the difference between (1) & (2)

    (1) I remember that I lent you the book, [the fact] (2) but I don't remember lending you the book. [the internal memory of the event]

    I am not sure this is correct, and have not been able to find other printed references to the term 'de se'. I would appreciate clarification or corrections in regards to this term, and any references that may help.

    Many thanks, Ana Perez-Leroux

    1) Does anyone know if the Tlingit language has lateral fricatives in its sound inventory? If so, does "tl" represent one of them orthographically?

    2) Is the Norwegian word "mal" (with one dot over the "a") etymologically related to the Hindi word "boli" (with a line over the "i")? They both mean tongue or language.

    Thanks!

    Dear colleagues,

    I'm looking for postgraduate courses or workshops in SLA during the summer, the more research orientated the better. I've seen the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign is offering summer courses on SLA. If you know of any others, could you please let me know.

    Thanks Judy
