Subject:  Question: quantitative information
 
hello,
 
there  is  someone who  knows where   can   I look  for "quantitative"
information on languages  (e.g.  number of  words, average  number  of
senses per word, etc.). I'm mostly interested in comparing italian and
english but every kind of information you can give me will be appreciated.
Eventually I will post a summary.
 
Thanks in advance,
 
-Massimo.

Subject:   request book information
 
Earlier this morning I was on the phone with a friend of mine living
in South America.  As we were talking in Spanish, he said: "si voy a
la liberi'a, comprare' el libro" which can be rendered into English
as "if I go to the bookstore, I will purchase it".
 
I found this expression a bit unusual so I asked him saying that he
really meant to say "si fuese a la libreri'a, comprari'a el libro" or
"if I were to go to the bookstore, I would buy it" to which he said
to me, "ah, the subjunctive is dead in Spanish!".
 
Weather this is a matter of subjunctive discussion or not, is
something to be left for another time.  Nevertheless, he mentioned in
the course of our conversation that there is a book (a Spanish
translation of a French original) titled something like "la muerte
del subjuntivo" or "the demise/death of the subjunctive".
 
Does any one know of this book?  Or books which may deal with similar
content?  Any and all help will be appreciated.
