Typologists, Prof.Dr. Jan Rijkhoff wrote about the PhD of Dr. Caterina
Mauri. She writes on her home page that she "carried out a typological research
on the cross-linguistic coding of the three coordination relations of
combination ('and'), contrast ('but') and alternative ('or'), based on a 74
language sample". That is something. I wonder if she wrote on Russian
coordination relations of combination (Or -"ili", and - 'i', but - "no"). I
noticed that they are used quite differently in Mansi (Vogul), Russian and
English. Thus, the typology of distribution of these linguistic units is quite
different. In fact, I have studied these linguistic units in English
and in Russian on the material of some prose writers (57) and poets
(8) from the point of view of the frequency of occurrence of them in
their texts. I have written an article dealing with the distances between these
writers and poets but I have no idea what linguistic journal may be interested
in my article. Please advise me by writing to my e-mail address <A
href="mailto:yutamb@mail.ru">yutamb@mail.ru</A> Looking forward to hearing
from you directly to my e-mail address since on the web site your answers may be
lost in the heaps of mail. I believe that the discussions on the lingtyplist are
quite fruitful. I am on this list for a year and I am satisfied with it very
much. Remain yours sincerely Yuri Tambovtsev, Novosibirsk,
Russia.</FONT></FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
