    Subject: References on Bahasa Indonesia


    Dear linguists,

    I am a postgraduate student conducting a research on the speech perception and the speech production of Indonesian native speakers when learning English as a foreign language.

    As a part of my study, I am interested in finding out references on things as follows:

    1. the position of Bahasa Indonesia (BI) among other regional languages (e.g. national language, first/second language, any native BI speakers), 2. the 'standard' pronunciation of BI or the type of spoken BI which is regarded as standard, 3. the phonetic descriptions of vowels and consonants in BI, and 4. any previous language acquisition studies on Indonesian speakers learning English as a foreign language.

    I shall be delighted to provide a summary of responses.

    Thank you in anticipation of your kind assistance. I look forward to receiving your responses soon.

    Yours sincerely,

    Ninik

    Does anyone know of a syntactic treatment of relativization in English that uses a deletion, and not a movement, operation?

    I have Jane Grimshaw's 1975 paper "Evidence for relativization in Chaucerian Middle English" but that is all I can find.
