Subject:  Russian word formation

Hi, I am writing to you for an advise on where to find textbooks with the
rules on morphology (word formation, suffixation, etc.) in Russian.  I am a
Ph.D candidate at Boston University, working with Dr. Jean Berko Gleason, and
I would like to do a study on english morphology acquisition by Russian
children from families of recent emegrees.  I would like to see if their
knowledge/mastery of Russian morphology will aid in language 2 acquisition,
as well as the order of acquisition of specific morphological units.
	
Also, if anyone knows of a recent works done in Russia on the subject of
morphology acquisition, please let me know (as well as how I can get my hand
on it)
	
Thank you.

Subject:  Intransitive Verb + DO phenomenon

Dear colleagues,

Does anyone know a term for the following phenomenon, where a verb (often
intransitive) is followed by a direct object from the same morphological stem?

Examples:
+ to fight a good fight
+ to sleep the sleep of the just
+ to dream the impossible dream
+ to talk the talk
+ to see the sights

Any references would be very welcome. I will post a summary.

Thanks,

Claudia.
