We'd like to remind readers that the responses to queries are usually best posted to the individual asking the question. That individual is then strongly encouraged to post a summary to the list. This policy was instituted to help control the huge volume of mail on LINGUIST; so we would appreciate your cooperating with it whenever it seems appropriate.

In addition to posting a summary, we'd like to remind people that it is usually a good idea to personally thank those individuals who have taken the trouble to respond to the query.

    For a cross-linguistic (German/English/Persian) study investigating semantic and conceptual features of lexical items in language comprehension we are looking for frequency data for Persian words, or electronically available corpora of Persian texts. I would be grateful for any pointers to this kind of information. Please reply to me individually, and I will post a summary of responses.

    Dear Linguist, I am writing a paper on the implicit objects in English and Arabic. Could you please suggest any recent works on this topic. I am familiar with B. Levin's treatment of this topic in her English Verb Classes.. (1993). I do appreciate any other suggestions especially concerning Arabic.
