Mirativity + Thanks

[Carl Rubino]

Dear Fellow Funknetters,
        Many thanks for all of you who have given me example morphemes in
mirativity in your languages.  I will be preparing a short summary of your
responses to put on the list in the next month since my question seems to
have spawned some interest.
        I'm sorry I forgot to attach the bibliography at the end of my last
message, so many people have referred me to the DeLancey article and Chafe
and Nichols volume which I have read with much interest (I am attaching it
now for all interested parties).
        I also would like to mention that I am most interested in
grammatical morphemes that express surprise/contrary to expectation
phenomena, _not_ interjections and constructions dependent on intonation
(i.e. English, Spanish, French data that has been coming in).  Sorry for
all the confusion about my question.  I will do my best to put together my
summary for you all in the near future and thank you all once again for all
the time you have spent answering my questions.
        Best wishes from Australia,
        Carl Rubino
