On May 29, 2004 (LINGUIST List Vol-15-1674), I posted an inquiry concerning examples of how verbs get borrowed into different languages. Quite a number of people responded, for which I am very grateful. Many of the examples provided, as well as acknowledgments to everyone who responded, appear in a paper co-authored with my colleague Jan Wohlgemuth. In lieu of a summary I offer the following link to the manuscript: http://email.eva.mpg.de/~wichmann/verbborrowing-upload.pdf. Everyone who volunteered information is encouraged to check whether they have been correctly quoted (since the file is searchable relevant names or languages can easily be found). Please report any errors to me. Wohlgemuth will continue to work on this topic and maintains a page specifically devoted to his project: http://www.linguist.de/jw/index.html. Wohlgemuth would very much appreciate any additional data, which may be volunteered directly through http://www.linguist.de/jw/loanverb.html.
