Subject:  Turkish acquisition

Natalie Batman-Ratyosyan, a graduate student working on Turkish
acquisition, and I would like to learn about any recent work
(post-1985) on the acquisition of Turkish as a first language.  We are
particularly interested in research on children's acquisition of
complex verbal morphology (i.e., verb roots with several affixes) and
negation.  Any pointers to the literature would be greatly
appreciated!

We will post a summary of the results of our inquiry.

Subject:  syntax textbook preferences

For those of us in the southern hemisphere, it's time again to select
textbooks for the coming academic year.

And once again I can't decide what to use for our undergraduate
Introduction to Syntax/Grammatical Theory course, for 2nd year
undergrads who have had a broad, year-long introduction to linguistics
in 1st year.  In the past we've used a variety of texts; most
recently, Haegemann's GB book or Borseley's Syntactic Theory.

I'd like to find out what other people have been using, before I take
the plunge for next year.  Please respond to me directly, and I'll
post a summary.

Thanks in advance,

Shelly

Subject:  lexicalization

Dear linguists:

I would like to know bibliography about lexicalization and its
relation with grammaticalization. I have just read some titles about
the later and I am interested in lexicalization processes. Has anybody
hardly studied it?

Tahnk you
Thank you in advance
