table for Sophie

[Brian MacWhinney]

Dear Info-CHILDES,
  In order to make sure that the previous message on the Hong Kong corpus
went through OK for all mailers, I cut out the table of Cantonese
grammatical categories that had Chinese characters.  However, if your mailer
can read them, here is that table.
