Is Esperanto considered an Indo-European language? Is it considered
Italic? Romance? If so, which if any of the following would be
correct?
 
Indo-European: Artificial: Esperanto
Indo-European: Italic: Artificial: Esperanto
Indo-European: Italic: Romance: Artificial: Esperanto
Indo-European: Italic: Latino-Faliscan: Artificial: Esperanto
Indo-European: Italic: Latino-Faliscan: Romance: Artificial: Esperanto
 
Please write to me directly; I will summarize for the list.
(I'll also tell you _why_ I'm asking.)
Thanks,

Subject: Corpus text typology
 
I am doing some research in corpus text typology.  My aim is to do a contrastive
study English-Spanish.  I would appreciate any suggestions in methodology or
 in the software used in that area. References or information about a similar
ongoing project are also welcome.
 
I'd rather any responses were sent to my e-mail address, I will e-mail a sumary
of the responses.

Subject: References: acquisition of English grammatical number
 
Dear subscribers,
I am doing a Ph.D in Applied Linguistics at Essex University in England.
I am wondering whether anyone can give me references on the acquisition of
English grammatical number, i.e., count-mass nouns, singular-plural nouns,
partitive constructions and number agreement. The latter includes the concord
of number between the determinative class and the noun head, the subject and
the tensed verb, the subject and its subject complement, and the subject and
the referring pronoun. I am working with Thai-speaking learners of English as
a second language in particular. Unfortunately, no literature has been found
to discussion this very aspect of acquisition by Thai speakers. So, if you
can refer me to any work previously done or underway, please inform me ASAP.
I will be very much appreciated.
Best regards,
S. Na-Thalang

Subject: CLARIFICATION OF QUERY
 
 
In a query published 2/17/95, I requested information on languages which
have both "verbal" and "pronominal" clitics.  What I SHOULD have said is
that I'm looking for languages with both "verb-clitics" and
"pronoun-clitics" (or maybe "clitic-verbs" and "clitic-pronouns"), meaning
NOT clitics which attach to verbs, or whatever, but rather clitic forms of
verbs and clitic forms of pronouns.  I'm looking into the interplay
between these two forms of clitics when they occur together in clusters,
so I need a list of langauges which have both in their system of clitics.
 
Sorry about the terminological error; any information would be gratefully
appreciated.
