I'm writing my dissertation on light verb constructions in German and
Catalan, for example:
 
(1) eine Entscheidung treffen
(2) in  Anspruch nehmen
 
(I am planning to do a formalization withhin HPSG)
 
I am especially interested in the following issues: 1)the synatctic
and semantic conditions on the nominal expressions appearing in these
constructions, and 2)the aspectual/Aktionsart characteristics of these
constructions.
 
I have access to most of the basic bibliography on such constructions
but I am interested in finding anything new/unpublished on this topic,
and woukld also be interested in discussing these constructions with
others who are currently working on them.  Please contact me at:

Dear sirs, Recently i read an article about two Univ. of Pennsylvania
linguists, Dr.  Don Ringe and Dr. Ann Taylor, who with the help of
Dr. Andy Warnow a computer scientist were investigating Indo-european
languages looking for similarities and constructing a genealogical
chart of the probable lines of descent. However, i have been unable to
find reference to this in your pages and wonder if you would be able
to help.  Yours sincerely

Dear Linguists:
 
I am looking for a PhD or equivalent programme in
computer-assisted language learning.  I am finishing my Master's
thesis in French (anglicisms in the French press) and would like
my career to be in CALL.  Does anyone know of official (or ad
hoc) programmes offered in this area?  Thanks very much for your
help; I will post a summary if interest warrants.
