positive "anymore"

[Gerald Cohen]

   A few days ago there was an exchange on positive "anymore" (e.g.,
"Anymore those are worthless.")  For anyone interested, here are two
bibliographical references:

(1) Gilbert Youmans,  "Anymore on _Anymore_?" , American Speech, vol. 61,
1986, pp.61-75.

(2) Gerald Leonard Cohen 1988. "Contributions To The Study of Blending,"
in: _Etymology and Linguistic Principles_, vol. 1 (edited by Gerald Leonard
Cohen; Univesity of Missouri-Rolla, published by the editor). pp.81-94.
("Anymore" is discussed on pp.83-84).
