SYNTAX

Everett, Daniel (1996)  Why there are no Clitics. SIL, Texas

This book argues for the thesis that pronominal clitics, pronouns, and
prominal (agreement) affixes are allomophrs of one another, derived from
lexical storeage  of individual grammatical features, which are then
spelled out as pronouns, affixes, or clitics, depending on how they
are stacked.

LEXICON, CORPORA, and ACQUISITION

Boguraev, Branimir and James Pustejovsky. (1996) Corpus processing for
lexical Acquisiton

This volume contains a number of papers that describe corpus processing
techniques that can be used to extract lexical information for use
in computers. The problesm include recognition fo open compounds,
incremental acquisition of means from sentence usages,
recognition of new senses of new words, word classes, patterns of
word use.

KADAI

Edmondson, Jerold and David Solnit (1997) Comparative Kadai: The tai
branch. SIL, Arlington Texas.

_Comparative Kadai_ defines the linguistic range of a large, interrelated
and varied area extending from eastern India to southern China. It asks
the questions "What languages are involved? How diverse are they? And how are
the language families interrelated?"
