Due to personal problems I was only able to catch up with the exchanges around mid-summer. In particular, I found the discussion on unaccusatives very beneficial to my own research. The phenomena described by Karine Megerdoomian for Armenian seems to be identical to that which is found in Japanese. I was therefore hoping that she might be willing to contact me and help me find relevant articles of hers which might allow for deeper comparisons of Armenian unaccusatives and their lexical causative partners with those of Japanese.

Thanks for letting me use this forum for an essentially selfish purpose. Mark __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
