Hi. Would anyone let me know possible tests to distinguish arguments
and adjuncts? (other than extraction across islands, and Lebeaux's
reconstruction in 'which claim that Bill is a dancer/Bill made ...'
contrast.)
Tests on Japanese would be great, and those on other languages would
be also equally great. Gladly post a summary.
Thank you very much in advance.
Sincerely,

Dear Sir/Madam,
I am working on the acquisition of Cantonese as a second language for
my PhD study and looking for the information of the following :
1. Cantonese placement test ( preferably in the form of a cloze passage)
2. Previous studies on the acquisition of Cantonese as a second language
I would be most grateful if I could have any news about the above two
items. Thank you for your kind attention.
Best wishes,
Wai Lan Tsang
