Greetings!
 
I'm currently examining the syntax of Texas Czech, a language
resulting from the contact of English and Czech in Texas.  The problem
is "No Subject/Aux inversion in YES/NO question":
 
	ty mas tuzku?
	you have pencil
 
When asked "Can you say, 'Je Ana tady?' or 'mas ty psa?'"
                          is Ann here      have you dog
speakers all responded "That's High Czech.  Here we would say
			'Ana je tady?' and 'ty mas psa?'"
 
I've been trying to examine several reasons for keeping verbs at INFL
in YES/NO questions, but I have come up with nothing consistent.  So,
someone suggested that this was a trait that immigrants brought with
them.
 
Does anyone know of a dialect of European Czech that cannot invert
subjects and auxilliaries in YES/NO questions?
 
Thanks in advance,

I am an Italian Ph.D. student at the University of Leeds (Linguistics
Department).  My research aims at the analysis of radio phone-ins in
Italy.
 
Does anyone know what studies have been carried out on telephone
conversation on radio programmes either in England or in Italy?
 
My e-mail address is LNPBMGS at LEEDS.AC.UK
Hope to hear from you soon! Thank you.
