    I am looking for information concerning dictionary writing software. I have heard about Shoebox and I don't know how good it is. If anybody knows any software for writing dictionaries please contact me with details of how I might be able to get it.

    Thank you very much.

    Yours

    Dear linguist-contributors

    I would be grateful if you could recommend updated (post-Kortman 1991) references on FREE ADJUNCTS ("Inflating her lungs, Mary screamed"), ABSOLUTES ("The coach being crowded, Fred had to stand") and DEPICTIVES ("John ate the meat raw") in English -- a summary will be posted during the summer. I am particularly interested in the syntactic analysis (syntactic relations, subcategorisation issues, etc) of these structures. Thanks a lot in advance,
