Subject:  query: Grammars of different languages

Dear colleagues,

I'm writing an article on "The concept of valency in standard grammars"
for the international handbook _Dependency and Valency_. It seems to me
that the concept, while being widely used in German grammars, is rather
rare in grammars of other languages; but  maybe I've overlooked
something. Does anybody know a grammar of, say, English, French, Russian
(or any other language) that makes use of the concept? I'd appriciate
any help, and of course I'll send a summary to the list.

Regards,

elke hentschel

Subject:  Francophones and anglicisms

I am studying the attitudes that francophone speakers have towards the
anglicisms that there are in their language. This study is trying to be as
global as possible, and I am sending out (written) questionnaires to a
variety of places. I am seeking to develop the extent of the survey, and
would therefore be extrememly grateful if any of you are working in a
French-speaking university, or have friends who do, and would be willing to
distribute a number of these questionnaires to your students. I'm
particularly interested in the African nations, but I'd be delighted to
hear from people from elsewhere.

Thank you very much for your time

I have been told that the book by A.A.Zalizniak which lists
Russian words by final letters
(Grammaticheskii slovar', Moscow: "Russkii Iazyk" 1977 and later eds)
exists on-line.  Can anyone refer me to a computerized version of the
word list in this book (whether or not it's on the Web)?

Thank you very much,

Michael Ullman
